Living life to the fullest while studying abroad!

When I arrive here in South Korea, I was very nervous yet happy to be here! Everything here is a cultural shock. However, you’ll learn to adapt around and explore out of your comfort zone. While studying abroad, take the time to explore to different cities nearby or faraway. Try out the cultural foods here! Learn about the history here! Everything that I listed is what I have been doing so far. Of course, when you’re feeling overwhelmed while being abroad, take a mental break and relax.
