An Excellent Experience

I'm about three months into my program in Sokcho and I am greatly enjoying my experience. The city is wonderful, the people are generally nice, I've met great friend among fellow EPIK teachers and my school and the staff and students are incredibly sweet and generous.

My experience with CIEE thus far has been worth it, I think. They were a huge assist during my EPIK application process and when comparing the process to other EPIK teachers who complained about their difficulties applying on their own, I feel grateful for having had so much help along the way.

The included TEFL course was handy as well, as well as the CIEE-specific orientation. I'm going to put my iNext insurance to use as well on a trip to Thailand this winter. :) All in all, teaching in Korea is a great experience for those of you looking for new adventures and new cultures.
