After flirting with the idea for a little over three years, I've finally buckled down and bought my ticket to move to South Korea.
I'll be going to explore alternative career options, study counter cultures and Korean fashion, and answer some pestering questions about what exactly I want to get out of life and how I can best make my little difference on the world. Yada yada yada.
I'll be joining my best friend, who currently teaches English through the EPIK program, along with the mass exodus of other Humanities majors who have fled to Korea following promises of financial stability and paid world travel. Admittedly, it is the best deal in the globe for recent grads trying to figure out their next move in life without sacrificing inspiration or the travel bug.

Like the others, I too will be leaving many things behind in order to embark on this journey. It is a natural law that life suddenly fills up your plate just as you are trying to wipe it clean. But I'm grateful to have my plate filled with supportive and loving people who, while I will miss them, will gladly share in my experiences while I'm out there in the world, making them all the more meaningful.
This blog will be the forum for my experience in Korea, from start to finish. With the objectives of advising other recent grads considering a similar path and keeping my loved ones in the loop, I'll be chronicling the entirety of my journey, starting with the paper-pushing process of applying for an E-2 work Visa and ending somewhere in South Korea, sometime six months or six years from now.
Here goes the leap.
