Laughter in Busan



My biggest concern whenever I travel alone is "will I make friends?" (Of course, the biggest concern is "will I get kidnapped or murdered?" but as a female I worry about that wherever I am.)

Being alone while backpacking versus being alone as an expat living in a new country are very different scenarios.  If I don't meet anyone fun or vibe with whatever town I'm in while backpacking, I can easily move on. Move onto the next country, next town, next hostel, knowing that someone or something great is just around the corner. Just when you think the loneliness is about to eat you alive, you end up meeting someone great.

Thankfully, I made tight friends pretty quickly. We went to Busan on our 2nd weekend living here (it's only a 1.5 hour bus ride form Jinju!) and I swear we did not stop laughing the entire time.

(also, there's a sculpture out on the water, there isn't a man coming out of my head)

Yellow Flowers



I'm indoors from 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. My only outside interaction is when I walk to and from the cafeteria and what a lovely walk it is.

I get to see these beautiful yellow babies every single day!!
