goodbye New Orleans, annyeonghaseyo Gangneung

Dearest friends, family, and visitors.

In just a few hours I will be setting off on an amazing journey. I will be teaching English and living in South Korea. The city that I choose is called Gangneung, it seems like a very special place with beaches and mountains nearby. I will be working for a private language school ("Hagwon") called LCI Kids Club. I obtained this job through English Apple agency, they were a pleasure to work with and I whole heartily recommend them to anyone thinking about teaching in Korea.
I'm not too sure on how everything is going to work out once I get there, I'm taking an incredible leap of faith and I hope that this will turn out to be a good decision. At the very least, I'll get to see a part of the world that I have fantasized about since I was 10.
I want to keep this short, I have precious few hours to sleep before my 6:30am flight. I will be traveling for 24++ hours before I reach my final destination. I will keep everyone updated, check back soon for the next edition! I love and miss everyone already.
