Wanna leave the USA? The EPIK Program in South Korea is still accepting applications for Spring 2025 on a rolling basis.

Comment EPIK and I’ll send you my complete guide on how to get a job teaching English in Korea.

I’ve been working two part time jobs just to pay the bills and as someone who is college educated, has tons of professional work experience, I can’t get a proper job with health insurance, 401k, or any benefits.

The job market in America has increasingly become more and more competitive and I don’t have a lot of hope for the future in my country.

I’m not sure what the future holds and I’m scared for it. Either I go home to Chicago, or I go back abroad. Whichever comes first. All I know is I need to get tf out of Texas.

Who’s joining me?

Visiting Seoul South Korea for the Christmas season?

Comment CHRISTMAS, and I’ll send you my complete guide on where to eat in Seoul, see Christmas lights, and what to do during the most wonderful time of the year.

Having lived in the Land of the Morning Calm for almost 6 years, I know a thing or two about the Christmas season there.

Christmas in Korea is celebrated as a huge couples holiday. It’s even bigger than Valentine’s Day. Many businesses cater to romantic getaways and dinners for two.

The Christmas displays in Seoul are stunning and start on November 1st and usually go until the first week of January.

These are my all time favorite displays and I hope you’ll enjoy them for your photos too!

[Hi! I’m Gina and I’m a native Chicagoan who lived abroad in Japan and South Korea almost a decade! Follow me @ginabearsblog and I’ll show you how to travel solo in Asia and the USA!]

5. Gangnam- this is for the luxury travelers
6. Jamsil- one of my favorite areas for the chill vibes and proximity to amazing cafes, amusement parks and shopping.
