There are actually so many more reasons but I didn't have time to list everything. As we all know, there is no perfect country, but as you grow up different things become important to you.

Seoul was a vibe when I wanted to drink until 5am and I didn't have any direction in my life. I could experience a new culture, new food and what life is like in the city. And for while, back in 2018-2019, it was fun.

Now, as you-know-what took over, the worst parts of Korea were brought into the light. The xenophobia, discrimination and racism towards foreigners increased. Koreans didn't seem shy expressing how they really felt towards me, and other foreigners around me.

I know a lot of foreigners/aliens/whatever you want to call us, in different countries around the world, have faced even more adversity than usual. It's not okay. It's bad in Korea but I know it's worse in other countries. That being said, I don't feel welcome or safe here anymore so I know it's time to go.

Teaching was always a battle and hands down the most exhausting and soul destroying job I've ever had. My biggest regret (although - better to call it it a learning experience) is teaching in SK for so long. If I was ever going to be a "proper" teacher - Korea killed that for me.

If you're considering teaching in Korea - please watch some of my other videos which should help you to avoid some of the mistakes I made and, ultimately, improve you time in Korea!

For those that are here exclusively for Korea based content then, I'm sorry, but there won't be anymore in the future. It's onward and upwards as I enter the next stage in my life. I am VERY excited about it (Nala is too).

ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Cherry and I am a British Expat currently living in South Korea. I have spent the last 5 years living in Seoul and am about to embark on the next chapter of my life. It's an adventure I am very much looking forward to and I hope you continue to stick with me through this transition period.
Full disclosure: I am not exactly sure the direction in which this channel will move. Of course, vlogs will continue and I hope you will join us all on the rest of this journey.
