Hahaha! Thought I died didn't you readers? Nope, I'm alive and well about to go into the second half of my first Friday of work! How exciting is that?
Frankly the reason why an update is so behind is due to setting up the internet at the freaking cool (but needs to be badly cleaned and organized) two-bedroom basement apartment I have in the beautiful city of Yongin in the Sugi district (I think its districts here) of South Korea! I'm about a thirty minute subway from Seoul and I've been here for almost two weeks and I've made some killer friends already and realizations that (might sound a bit soppy) make the heart grow fonder of something that is still back home in Charleston.
I love my students and I have some adventures I can't wait to talk about on here. But first, I gotta go finish up my classes! So expect an update tonight (this morning) for you American readers!
Other than that.....
Geronimo!

And I'm Off
Hello! This is my first journal entry for my travel blog. It won't be much, just saying that I'm currently in the San Francisco airport, listening to Lindsey Stirling's music and keeping myself busy as I continue my 8 hour lay-over.
I honestly can't believe that I'm doing this. I've always been a traveller, but this is my greatest adventure yet. I have to do this story because it will be the tale where I am the adventurer who, by himself, must meet new characters, challenges, and become something I've always wanted to be. I'll be a teacher in a school for a little town out side of South Korea's capital of Seoul, Yongin.
I'm really excited, though frankly, I wish I had some more memories of what I left back in my home of Charleston.
Regardless, my family, my friends, and a special someone made my last week in Charleston awesome and I had some good laughs and moments that are enough to fuel me to go out and do this adventure.
So what will you expect from this blog btw?
Probably pictures. Stories. Teaching lessons. Giant Monsters.
Oh and just if you are following, check out my self-publishing blog for my eight year writing series, TITAN .
Anyways, I hope you guys bookmark this blog and enjoy the stories I will put up here!
Till next time!
