In about two weeks, I’ll be leaving for my hometown. I haven’t been back to the U.S. in 2 years, so I’m excited to eat and shop (mostly for books and shoes, since my size is so elusive here in Korea) and see my friends and family! Junkyu will come about two weeks later and […]

Going to the Gym in Korea
My husband and I had been feeling guilty about not being very active for a while, so we joined a gym! We joined in January, which is obviously a popular month for people to suddenly start setting goals for themselves to get in shape. But we are committed to going together and alone if our schedules […]
The First Year of Marriage – Part 3
Nine months have passed since our wedding day, and although I feel like it’s been a while since that day, I also think the months have flown by. Lately, my husband and I have been trying to budget our money, so I’m the one who keeps tabs on how much we spend. It’s helping me […]
Identity as a Foreign Wife in Korea
Now that I’m married to a Korean native and living in Korea, what do I call myself? I used to identify as an expat (as that’s what most Westerners call themselves when moving abroad for work). But now I only work part-time and my job does not make up an important part of my identity […]
Korean Family Trip to Jeju Island – 제주도 가족여행
A few months ago, back when we were getting ready to go to Bali, I got a call from my sister-in-law. She asked for my full name told me it had to match my passport. Very confused, I asked her why. That’s how I found out we were going to Jeju. My husband hadn’t mentioned […]

Honeymoon in Bali – Part 4
(Read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) We woke up extra early on our third full day in Bali and geared up for the two-hour trip to East coast. It was a beautiful journey through the hills, up and down winding roads that were lined with locals who were dressed in ceremonial clothes. First, we went […]
Goodbye Glenn and Maggie
(This post contains spoilers of The Walking Dead Season 7) By now, I’m sure everyone who keeps up with The Walking Dead knows what happened on the Season 7 premier. (If not, sorry, but it was spoiled for me because of social media, so there you go.) Last season, I stopped halfway through, not wanting […]
Honeymoon in Bali – Part 3
(Read Part 1 and Part 2) On our second full day in Bali, we woke up and had breakfast by the pool again before packing up our things to go to the next hotel. We played in the pool for a while and then got smoothies and a couple’s massage overlooking the ocean. It was really […]
Honeymoon in Bali – Part 2
(Read Part 1 here) We woke up in Bali after a very short sleep, and the weather was nice, despite the storms and heavy rain that occurred while we were sleeping. In the morning, I planned for us to eat breakfast, go to the pool, relax, and get a massage before we started our day. […]
