Although this was completely unexpected, we were able to teach english in Seongdong-gu twice! I’ve always thought that maybe, just maybe, if I totally want to change the course of my life I would move to another country and teach english.

I’m learning more and more that Golin seems to the type of company that lets you spread your wings. You are encouraged to be creative and to do whatever it takes to be inspired. Today was my second to last day at Golin and ironically enough it was also the day of my first staff…

I had the opportunity to meet with one of the global experience classes at the Global Experience Center.

After a long day of touring the Seongdong-gu, and later venturing to other parts of Seoul, it was time to go home for the day. As Colleen and I prepared to leave we asked our supervisor what he had planned for the rest of the day, it was about 6pm. He sais to us, “Oh,…
I had a very fulfilling experience at the DokSeoDang Liberal Arts Center. One of my goals is to become a media host. I felt honored when was asked to serve as one of the reporters and to inform viewers of the Seongdong news about the newly built facility. The facility officially opened June 30, 2017.…
