From Bangkok to Pattaya to Koh Chang Since New Year is coming around the corner again, I thought I’d write a throwback about better times and a fun New Year. The long 5 day weekend started off in the capital on the 27th of December. Christina and I took a train from Mahachai to Bangkok.Continue reading “New Year’s Vacay 2019”

My Cute Little Apartment
I just gotta say Korea is wicked cool for their recycling/trash waste program. The orange bags that I was given are for soft food waste, the white bags are for hard food/regular trash (bones, packaging, egg shells, etc.) and recyclables can go into a plain plastic bag. They have set times that you are allowedContinue reading “My Cute Little Apartment”
Unpacking✅
Two and a half weeks later and I am moved in! It feels soooo nice to be settled into my apartment. It’s cool cause the apartment that I’m staying in has been used by the previous teachers at my school so it already had some things that I would’ve had to buy here.

The Tremendous Thailand
It’s funny because I didn’t even plan on going to Thailand until three months prior to leaving, but yet it was the best (almost) year of my life. I also never thought I’d ever want to teach, yet here I am. Choosing Thailand was like most of the other decisions that I’ve made in myContinue reading “The Tremendous Thailand”

Two Weeks in Korea and then I’m Free-a
Honestly, it hasn’t been as bad as I thought it was going to be. But ask my friends and family how I’ve been and they may say the opposite. I got a box from the government within the first few days of being here. It was filled with tasty food. How sweet of them?! IContinue reading “Two Weeks in Korea and then I’m Free-a”
The Flight & Beyond
Before I left for Korea, I went on a few Facebook groups and asked a bunch of questions. I was able to download apps before I left and I created a folder, just in case I didn’t have secure WiFi when I arrived. I recommend doing that, just to be prepared. However, the WiFi atContinue reading “The Flight & Beyond”
The Whooooole Process
Although the process was long, it was 100% worth it. Fortunately, I live about 15 minutes from downtown Boston, so these steps were pretty simple for me. To get the FBI background check, you need your fingerprints scanned. Now, I knew that I could go to my local police station to get them before IContinue reading “The Whooooole Process”
