I previously wrote about exploring Korean literature. Now, I’d also like to keep exploring Japanese literature. I’ve noticed so far in my reading adventures that the themes are quite different although I’m just basing it on the availability of translated books. Perhaps it just so happens that these were the popular books that were translated…

Located in the south eastern corner of Poland, the Bieszczady National Park borders onto Ukraine and Slovakia. I imagine getting here via public transport might be difficult but with a car, there is parking available in the National Park to be able to access the hiking trails. My friend and I came by car with…

When I was trying to pick which cities to put down on my list of city preferences for teaching, I had no idea as I had never been to South Korea before. I wanted to avoid Seoul after reading that it was more expensive to live there (for food and groceries) and also being home…

I guess a post like this was in the works from the moment I stepped on my flight leaving Seoul. I look back with great nostalgia and am often smiling to myself thinking about all the adventures that I had, struggles, fun and moments of peace. I listened to a lot of k-pop whilst there…

By the time I publish this post, I would have arrived back home after my year living in South Korea and travels. As bad as it sounds, it feels a bit like time travel where I’ve come back to the same family home, the same town, people are going about the same lives that they…

Budapest was the last major city on my list of ‘must visit soon’ in Central Europe. I’d seen pictures of the Parliament Building and chain bridge so many times yet had never quite made it there. So this trip to Europe, Budapest was the city that I was looking forward to visiting the most. Day…

Seoul is an exciting city where there is always something to see or do. In order to maximise your time, I’ve clumped together activities in order to make the most of your time there. Here is what I would do if I had 3 full days in Seoul. Day 1 AM: A visit to Seoul…
