The Packing Begins...

Eep! That's quite a scary sight, isn't it? This is my idea of packing - pile everything you're planning on bringing on top of your suitcases and hope that it all magically  organizes itself neatly inside before your departure. 

Yup. Wistful thinking, that's me! 

Teaching English Abroad in South Korea: Tips, Tricks, and Trouble!

(Photo by Michelle C.)

In approximately one month, my best friend and I will heading off to South Korea to teach English at a hagwon just outside of Seoul and we are very excited to get this first leg of our journey going! 

Well, I'm sure we will feel more excited, anyway, once the after effects from all the stress, stress, and more stressss have finally worn off. 

Don't know what I'm talking about? If you are planning on teaching English abroad, I'm sure you soon will. 

It may not seem like the paperwork required for an E2 visa is such a big deal at first--and we certainly had no idea. But don't be fooled by the simple requirements...time is your enemy here! I hope you are doing your research and are more prepared than we were but if you still have no idea what you are getting into let me give you some tips and tricks so that you can avoid all of the trouble we went through!
