As soon as I stepped foot in Tokyo in 2008, I knew I had caught the travelling bug. I decided I didn't just want to travel I wanted to experience the world! The different cultures, the people, the sites and most importantly (to me) the food!

Recently I have started to develop an interest in photography and hope to improve my skills while doing what I love most.

Welcome to my journey........

Update ^^

This month has been one of the worse in a while. My work has become a lot stricter regarding holidays etc. And they took a vacation day off me, as I left early for middle school one day (but they didn't warn me this would happen and this is the first year it has happened). So that started the month off bad and then me and my boyfriend broke up. I realise now I am well rid as he was really quite selfish, but at the time I was upset to say the least.

 Luckly, my friends have been wonderful and it made me how lucky I am over here, and how lucky I am to have met them. My co-teacher has been great! Listening to my rants etc. I am so happy I met her this year and I believe we will contuine being friends even after I leave here. Sarah and Paul have looked after me with delicious food and wine (and drag queen movies) haha. I also hope to say in contact with them after Korea, though Paul always points out people lose contact after a while haha.

Works started getting better and I had made a big decision by this point. The reason I felt so low is because I am not happy in Korea anymore. In fact it is making me become bitter and I hate bitter people (like this girl I knew last year). My friends are great and the money is great, but I came here to travel and it ended up just being like home after a year but without my family. I want to be closer to my family, so next year I want to go to Spain. After deciding this, I started to feel more and more happy. It felt like a burden was lifted and I could finally breath.

Sadly, last week I was informed a family member died and that confirmed my reasons in my head for not re-signing next year. I can't go to the funeral as I can't get the time off plus it would cost 700-800pounds which is money I don't have. I want to be closer to the UK, so I can go home for a weekend if needed.

So I don't know if Spain will work out as there are no jobs in Europe now but if you don't try, you will never know. Plus, the worse that can happen is I spent 2 months in Spain and then go home. Like a long holiday haha.

I am going to enjoy my last 7 months in Korea as best I can!! I also better start learning Spanish :P

Oh I moved all food post to my food blog ^^ - http://wherewillmy.blogspot.kr/
