This abroad internship program has taught me so much. I have learned how to work full-time in an office setting with the classic professional hierarchy of supervisor, employee, intern, and I have learned what is expected of me and what it takes to earn the trust of your superiors. While this opportunity has provided me…

This past weekend I enjoyed a trip with Absolute Internship to Jeonju! I have been wanting to go to Jeonju since I was in Korea last year, so this opportunity was one I was excited to take advantage of. Jeonju is a city fairly south on the Korean peninsula and it’s full of history. The…

The heat. The humidity. I have repeated so many times that I am never coming back to Korea in July and I mean it! I truly could not imagine how oppressive heat could feel until I came here in the Summer. I’m actually glad to have experienced it once, but would not like to again!…

Week five has gone well so far! I spent some time with one of my friends from last year’s study abroad experience, and that was really nice. Having friends across the world is really fun because when you finally meet up after some time has passed, there is so much to catch up on, and…

This past weekend I did so many activities, including exploring an interactive exhibition called HiKR Ground, eating lunch at Namdaemun Market (one of the traditional markets here in Seoul), getting a tarot reading, and…

Week two is done! Last weekend I explored Hongdae, a very lively neighborhood in Seoul where many young people go for cheap shopping, food, and nightlife. Last time I was here, Korea made me into a bag appreciator, so I bought myself two more bags while in Hongdae! Korea is also full of cute accessories,…

It’s now been one week since I’ve gotten to Seoul, and it’s been fun! The food here is just as good as I remember, and the coffee is so good and so cheap compared to the United States. The weather is a little more humid than I’m used to, but it hasn’t gotten too too…

I’ve only been in Seoul for about three days, but it’s been great so far! The food is just as good if not better than I remember, and the area of the city we’re staying in is quite walkable which is great. Public transportation is also super easy to use here, so overall no complaints!…
