Preparing To Leave

Hi everyone!  Welcome to my blog.  I'll be updating this (hopefully) a couple times a week as I embark upon the biggest adventure of my life!

For those of you who don't know, I'll be living just outside of Seoul in a small apartment.  I'll be about a ten minute walk from my school, the English Reading Club.  I'll be teaching 3rd and 4th grade students from about 2-9 p.m. Monday-Friday.  My friend Kelly has been there for a year already and will be staying for another year.  I'm extremely lucky to know that I'll have atleast one friend out there to help me adjust to the culture.  She has been very helpful in answering all my questions thus far.

I just received my Visa in the mail!  I'm still waiting to hear when I'm flying to Seoul, but my school wants me out there by the 24th of September so I'm guessing I should be leaving around the 20th.

Stay posted...I'll continue to update you all as I prepare to leave the U.S.

  2. Haley, we will be thinking of you and praying for you as you make this year long adventure/journey. We will look forward to experiencing South Korea through this website as I think that is as close as we will ever get:-)
    We love you to pieces and hope you get a chance to visit us in the high country before you take off:-)
