After nearly 9 months in Korea, it is time to decide what my next venture will be in my life. The first questions many expats in Korea have asked me is "Will you stay another year in Korea?" My initial reaction to this question was sure, why not, but after much more thought and consideration I realized that teaching English is not my thing. Yes, my job is not too hard and the kids are wonderful but it doesn't satisfy my heart and soul.
The next question most expats here would ask is "Well, are you gonna spend some time traveling after you finish your contract?"
My gut reaction is YES I WANT TO TRAVEL!!!! I was lucky to travel to Thailand over my winter vacation, but I recall that one of the reasons I wanted to come to Korea was to travel around Asia more easily. I also spent much time debating whether I thought I would travel or just go home for a bit. Finally, I realized that the traveling (in small or large capacities) truly makes me happy. I am beginning to plan some SE Asian travels for when I am finished with my contract (Sept. 14). My tentative plan is to travel for 2 months and then head home. We will see about the destinations after I figure out costs/budget, but I filled with joy and butterflies just thinking about this new journey :)
Perhaps not the most informative blog, but I want to just share my thoughts about my life here is East Asia.
Also, I realized I have not done a Korea food blog. This will be soon to come!!!
