The Truth About Living in Korea:(An Expat's Honest 4-Year Review)

Happy 4-year anniversary to me in South Korea! 🇰🇷✨ In this video, I’m reflecting on my journey as a South African expat living in South Korea for four years. After recently visiting home for a month, I realized just how much life here has spoiled me. From leaving my phone on a park bench at midnight without a care, to 15-minute emergency shoe deliveries in the rain, Korea hits completely differently when it comes to safety and convenience! I’m breaking down everything I absolutely love about living here the incredible convenience stores, the fast systems (no load shedding or "system down" here!), the gorgeous aesthetic cafes, and the unexpected things I missed while back home in South Africa. If you are thinking about moving to Korea, teaching English abroad, or just curious about what expat life looks like in a smaller Korean town, this video is for you! ✨ What are your thoughts on living in South Korea?
