Post Covid Travel vs. Me!

Image
Hello! Hello! Hello!   It has been such a very long time since I've last posted.  I want to say it's been like 3 years, which is crazy!  However, I just don't think that my life has been all that exciting or post-worthy as of late.   Here is a brief life update since my last post:  I have moved 2 times since my last post.  Both of these moves have been career related.  In addition, I have also changed jobs a couple of times.   I am still single.... unfortunately..... and I still feel a certain type of way about it, but I won't bore you all with that.  Read my last post for that information.  I'm LOVING my current job and the people I work with.  This is the first time in a while that I have enjoyed working in education.  I have learned a lot in my current position, but I also have gained a new perspective on my professional life.  I know what I bring to the table now and I know my worth! This is probably something I should...

Disclaimer:  This post was written and saved in my Notes on my phone since November 5, 2023. I have just now gotten around to posting it.  So the thoughts/sentiments might be a little "dated" but knowing me, I don't think they will be!  So, thanks to a calendar reminder I set some 7 years ago…. I was reminded that today would have marked the 7th year in my last relationship. If you know me, at all, you know that the relationship is no longer and hasn’t been for almost 3 years now. Is that for the better? I’m sure it is, but as I lay here writing this post I can’t help but think about how things could have and would have been VERY different had things not turned out the way they have. This relationship started in Korea; both of us were expats, from different countries respectively, living and working there. For me it was a point in my life I would love to go back to. I was younger, more zestful and more full of life; at a point in my journey where I was ready for a relatio...

Dating in Korea - Size Matters

Living the single life is something I have become a bit of an expert on over the course of the past 2-3 years.  However, the older I get, the more I feel like I am ready to "settle down" or at least try to start a relationship with a bit of substance behind it.  Actually, let me be 100% honest: the idea of a relationship sounds enticing and exciting to me, however the more I think about actually being in a relationship the more petrified and rebellious I feel.  Maybe that has to do with the fiasco my dating life has been since arriving in Korea.  I'm not usually one to share this type of information publicly, but I feel I need to get a few things off of my chest. If I'm being honest, it hasn't been until lately that I have actually whole-heartedly been trying to find myself a relationship.  My first couple of years in the country I was trying to get my bearings, see where I fit into the grand scheme of things and trying to make friends.  Over the course...

Hong Kong - An Experience

Wow....  I am really terrible at keeping this thing updated!  I always make a vow to do it a bit more often, but that vow always goes by the wayside.  Hopefully this time I can be a little more consistent, but I'm not making any promises! The last time I checked in here I had just taken a new job at SoonChunHyang University and posted about my process moving to a new city.  I guess I'm happy to report that I am still at SCH and have officially signed a new contract, so I'll be sticking around for at least one more year!  Yay to that! All is good on the work front.  I am currently on summer vacation until September.  Which should mean that I have time to blog a bit more, but we'll see what happens.  Well, I say I am on summer vacation, but I have volunteered to take on a summer class for adults in Onyang.  This class meets twice a week and is basically a discussion class.  The students are pretty advanced with speaking English, so I u...
