Hi Jessica,
I haven't taught in either Seoul or Finland, however I have taught in Dubai and I loved it! Traveling and teaching are two of the most rewarding activities anyone can do. I found it to be both educational and informative for me. I learned as much from my students as they did from me, and I know that I came out of the experience with a more open-mind and bigger heart. I wish you the best of luck, and know that you will absolutely love the experience!

On a side note, prepare yourself for some culture shock. There will be moments when you wonder what you were thinking, but believe me, you'll be glad you persevered.
