Trading Daejeon’s Calm for Seoul’s Buzz: My Week in the Capital
Thanks to the Chuseok holiday, I was able to trade Daejeon’s laid-back vibe for a week of adventure in Seoul. With classes on hold for the holiday, I couldn’t resist the chance to explore the capital city at my own pace. Seoul is only a quick train ride away, but it feels like a whole ...

Arriving in Philadelphia with only two suitcases…
Hi all! AS it is my first time blogging here and consequently the first time you (virtually) meet me, I’d like to begin by presenting myself. My name is Sally, just a nickname for a much harder name to pronounce for anglophones, let’s be honest, and I have just started living my version of the ...
A Day as an Exchange Student
