This is a blog of my trip to Korea. I'm here right now teaching english for a private Hagwon (school) named Brighton. I hope you enjoy my blog! Edit: I *was* teaching for Brighton, but have since moved to a different number of schools. This blog is now only an archive of my past adventures, but feel free to check out some of my newer blogs.

I just can't seem to get over the beautifly hand crafted buildings there. This defiantly makes me want to visit. The hiking paths look wonderful too. Makes me wish I wasn't soooo pregnant right now...lmao. I would love to take on of those on. DD
