About Me

Welcome to the online chronicle of Erin and Adam's experiences in Korea. Be sure to check out the blog section above for information about teaching, living and traveling in South Korea. Also check out the pics link to the left for lots of photos from our town and also other places around Korea. We live in Geochang, a "town" of 40-50,000 people in the south-central part of the country. It's convenient for weekend travel to other areas. The entire country is smaller than Pennsylvania. Please come back often for updates!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Written by Erin in February:Hello all. I live in Butler County, PA. It's been a quiet life these past few years. However, all of that is about to change. I will be moving to South Korea here in a few weeks to spend a year teaching English. I love my life in Pa, so will definitely return after one year to resume life as usual, including belly-dancing gigs. I will miss all of my family and friends. We haven't even left yet, and I am already getting all sappy and sentimental. I think that one of the worst parts is going to be leaving my four children behind (my furry children that is). As I sit writing this profile, Gabby has planted roots in my lap, and has turned into a pile of furry, purry sweetness. Yes, it will be hard to leave home for a whole year.

My Blog

Yes, we’re still here

Sorry it has been so long since the last update. I just didn't have the motivation to write. So last week I decided to post photos, only some with captions, and not post writings. This is much quicker...
