My husband Junkyu and I have been married for over a year, and we still face bumps in the road when it comes to deciding on what to eat. We aren’t alone – many people I know who are also in international relationships face the food obstacle sooner or later, and it isn’t always easy […]

KIIP Level 3 Class and Mid-Term Test
Finally! I finished my first 100 hours of classes through KIIP (Korean Immigration and Integration Program). I took the pre-test that’s required before signing up for classes (unless you are a complete beginner and no absolutely no Korean – then they place you at level 1) back in November.

Wow, it’s already been a year since our Korean wedding ceremony! On April 9th, 2016, Junkyu and I were surrounded by our family and friends to celebrate our union.

Intercultural marriage is challenging at times, but my husband and I both learn a lot each day, and our lives will never be boring. Even since the three-month mark, a lot has happened, and it’s […]
Adventures at Daecheon Beach
This past weekend, my husband and I went on a church retreat to Daecheon Beach. It’s about a two hour drive from Daejeon on the west coast of Korea. We went last year, so this is quickly becoming an annual summer trip for us. I’ve been attending an English church (Koreans also attend, and the […]
My First Year in Korea
One year ago, on August 14th, 2015, I had just arrived in South Korea and was slowly adjusting to my new life. I can’t believe how fast this past year has gone by. It seems like just yesterday I was waiting for Junkyu in the Incheon Airport, ready to start my new journey. Now I […]
