Moving to South Korea: COVID Edition
About Me
Hello! My name is Nicole Gardner and I am from Kansas City, Missouri. Going into my senior year of college in the midst of a pandemic, made me rethink my post-graduation plans. As a middle school education major I knew that teaching is what I wanted to do, but I also realized that I wanted to travel the world more. This inspired me to get my Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate in order to combine my two passions. And this is how I ended up living in Gwangju, South Korea!
As I spend the year teaching for the EPIK program in South Korea, I wanted to make this blog as a way to include my family and friends on my adventures in South Korea as well as anyone who is interested in what it's like to be an English teacher here.
