Alright, I won't lie. Since my childhood, it's been a big dream of mine to move to Korea. Not so long ago, I started learning the language too. Naively, I thought that maybe this would give me a chance to achieve my dream. But to tell the truth, I have no idea how to move there, especially at my age of 20. Additionally, there is a fear in me. I live in Hungary, which in many ways is a quite blind and often racist country. Since I've lived in such an environment, and I have no idea about the extent of racism in Korea, I'm a bit afraid that it would be hard for me to fit in, find a job, build friendships, or romantic relationships. If anyone happens to have any idea on how to achieve my dream, please don't keep it to yourself. Thank you for reading, have a nice day, and good luck in every area of your life!

I just returned from my Korean holiday last week but i still watched this because I miss it hehe and seeing the Jikook mural that I had visited just 2 weeks earlier made me emotional 🥹
as soon as I came back I immediately missed Naver Maps lmao, it really became my best friend while travelling and its soo much more accurate than Google Maps...
And funnily enough the Icheon Hangang area was also one of my fave locations :3

In general, you need to learn Korean at an average level, so to enjoy your trip, be aware of the surroundings and protect yourself from possible dangers
