A once in a lifetime opportunity

I moved to South Korea in November 2022 and did a year. It was my first-time teaching, and although it came with its challenges, I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of South Korea.

For my placement, I was placed in Yeosu. I loved Yeosu as it was both such a dynamic and tranquil place. Everything you needed was there. It gave the city vibe that Seoul offered but was still rural enough to enjoy quiet walks along the coast.

With TFT’s help, the whole process was much easier. You get a lot of support from everyone in the team, they made sure to try to accommodate where I wanted to go. Furthermore, whenever I am uncertain about something, they are always quick to respond and clarify it. Also, I appreciate the support from Jaemi, he is very supportive and always one message away.

For travelling, along with the allotted vacation days, Korea also has a lot of national holidays which make it easy to find time to travel within and outside of the country. I was only in Korea for a year but I managed to visit quite a lot of cities in Korea, to name a few such as Seoul, Tongyeong, and Gwangyang. Furthermore, being in Korea also allowed me to travel to other Asian countries like Thailand and Philippines.

Due to my wonderful and exciting time in South Korea, I’m planning to head back to Korea again in 2024 using the TFT clubhouse scheme programme offered by The Fewer Things.
