Yes, I recommend this program

I've never seen myself so happy!

Dec 11, 2024

From being accepted to the program to every current conversation I have about my trip to Korea, I am always told that I have this spark in my eyes and that I glow every time I talk about my time in Korea. The trip changed my life. I have become so confident in solo traveling and made lifelong friends. One friend I made on the trip lives in Germany. After becoming confident in traveling, I flew to Germany from Hawaii by myself to visit my friend. The trip is a milestone in my life that I cherish.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I lost my T-money card after lunch and was about to board my bus to head to my host family's house. I panicked for about a minute before I calmed myself into thinking of what my options were; look for the card and retrace my steps, go to the gas station across the street to buy a new temporary card, or call my host family. I did the first two options. I told myself I wanted to figure this out on my own to prove to myself that I could travel by myself. I first went back to the academy and looked around my seat. Then I dumped out my bag to look through it again but still could not find it. I decided to go to the nearest gas station and buy a temporary card. When I arrived home I looked through my bag once more, opened up the book I was reading on the morning bus, and found my actual card. I proved to myself that even when things get difficult and a little scary all I needed was to calm myself and be patient with myself.

In the past few decades, South Korea has shot onto the global stage with world-leading industries in tech, fashion, beauty, and more. The world now listens to K-Pop, relies on Korean gadgets, eats kimchi, and swears by Korean skincare. It’s no wonder, then, that so many students are turning their thoughts towards the skyscrapers of Seoul and Busan.
