There is so much to do in Seoul! I’ve been here for two weeks and I feel like I have only scratched the surface of all of the amazing restaurants and cafes this city has to offer. Because I work in Seongsu, an amazing area for shopping and dining, everyday after work I ask my…

Time Balancing
Week three has been very fun outside of the office. On Monday, one of the interns from Yonsei University took me and another intern out sightseeing, and we went up a mountain where we got a really nice view of the whole city. There was a teahouse on top of the mountain, but it was…
Building a Routine on the Other Side of the World
Two weeks into my internship at JHSUSTAIN, I feel like I have finally found my routine. Seoul itself has continued to surprise me. The city moves fast, but something is grounding about having a routine here. Knowing which subway line to take (line 5 and an approximate 42-minute commute), which coffee shop to stop at,…
Week 2 in Seoul – Time Management
It’s the end of my second week in Seoul and I’m finding that I’ve adjusted to life here decently. Last weekend I decided to go on a weekend solo trip to the city Gangneung, which is known for its beaches and seafood. Unfortunately, the day I chose to go was cloudy, so it wasn’t as…

Managing Life in Seoul
At first, the idea of living and working in an entirely new city with a completely different culture overwhelmed me. South Korea’s fast-paced startup environment is one that totally differs from what I’m used to back home. Additionally, with this being my first real internship experience, I was anxious about what the structure would be…
Korea Corporate Maxing
WEEK 2! I cannot believe I’ve already crossed the two‑week mark at this internship. Time is flying by so quickly, and I feel like I’ve already learned so much in such a short span of time. Even though I’ve mainly been doing research for my company so far, I can genuinely say that all the…

More specifically, I am interning at the Medical Imaging Informatics Laboratory (MediSC) within Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH). The lab focuses on combining healthcare with technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR), including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR),…
