Although Donald and I are traveling, we managed to work multiple gigs while staying in Busan, South Korea. We wanted to pick another place to visit in Korea but the thought of visiting another major city did not sound appealing. At least, not as appealing as Korea’s volcanic island, Jeju.

Here’s a quick post on one of my favorite spots in Busan. If you ever visit, be sure to check this place out; you won’t regret it! There’s a lot to see in Busan.

And despite being South Korea’s 2nd largest city, it’s still within reach of mountains to hike and beaches to swim, all while maintaining its urban charm. And if… Read more →
Within less than 24 hours of arriving to Busan, a coastal city in South Korea, I managed to schedule an immediate interview for a job teaching English at a summer camp. I had been looking around to see if there were any positions for part time teaching gigs on mykoreanfriends.com and Craig’slist. Sure enough, there were a handful of ads… Read more →
