My life in South Korea

I started out as a travel manager in Moscow. I have always enjoyed traveling, and my profession helped me to explore different countries and cultures. In Moscow, I met my future husband, who invited me to Seoul. At first I saw it as an adventure, but gradually the decision to stay in South Korea became more and more solid.

Housing and changes

When we decided to live together, we found a small apartment near Sungkyunkwan University. Although it was a rental, I understood that it was fine given the circumstances. Sungkyunkwan University has a history of over 600 years and is one of the oldest in Korea. We realized that buying property in South Korea can be challenging due to high real estate prices.

  • Many Koreans move frequently, and searching for new housing is a common occurrence for them.

  • My husband lived in 11 different places and attended 7 different schools.

Balance between rent and savings

In the seven years we've spent in Korea, we've had to move twice. Right now, we live in a rented apartment, and like many others, we've put off buying our own home for an indefinite period. We've realized that it's important to find a balance between renting a place and saving for significant life events.

Final thoughts

In the end, South Korea is an amazing country where everyone can find their own path to happiness and prosperity.

In search of a unique experience in Southeast Asia

Traveling through Southeast Asia is a quest for amazing places filled with dense jungles, fairy-tale beaches, and fantastic nature. Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia each have their unique culture, traditions, and landscapes that captivate independent travelers.

Fashion and style also play a significant role in the lives of Southeast Asians. In Korea, for example, revealing clothing is perceived differently than in other countries. Ultra-short shorts and bright nail polish are common among the youth.

Family vacation in Korea

Korea can offer family vacations filled with comfortable countryside cottages. Families can spend a few days away from the city's chill, enjoying fresh air and having barbecues outdoors.

Local racetracks have also become popular destinations for family outings, where parents and children can enjoy the sight of horses and try their hand at betting.

Kindergartens in Korea

Korean kindergartens offer a wide range of activities for little ones, including outdoor games and learning. In the summer, children can enjoy swimming in the pool and water slides, which becomes a great way to relax and cool off during the hot season.

Conclusion

Through my life in South Korea, I became acquainted with the diversity and amazing features of this country. Moving here from Moscow and starting a new life, I encountered a fascinating culture, economic specifics, and the challenges of adapting as a foreigner. All the experiences I gained over seven years of living in South Korea helped me understand that what truly matters in life is finding ways to adapt to new conditions, exploring different cultures, and seeking joy in simple everyday moments. Thanks to Korean society, I realized that family, children, time for oneself, and personal development are essential components of happiness and fulfillment. This experience has made me more tolerant, open to new knowledge, and has shown me that life is a constant journey of movement, learning, and self-discovery. The time I spent in South Korea has left a mark on my worldview, and I am grateful for everything I learned and all that I experienced. It was an incredible journey through a new culture that I was happy to undergo.
