Citron 28 – Seoul City Exclusive
I ran into this perfume a couple of days before in Seoul and I definitely loved it (it’s from Le Labo). A unique take on the “icon of citruses,” the lemon, Citron 28 reflects Seoul, “a city rooted in tradition and history, yet at the forefront of all that is modern and forward-thinking.” where it…Continue Reading Citron 28 – Seoul City Exclusive
Evelyn: It’s time to say goodbye, 마지막 인사
It’s cringey saying it out loud but to say that this past year has been a wild ride would be an understatement. Truly. The decision to come on exchange is one I will never regret. The opportunity to live in a new country, learn a new language, experience a new culture, and meet so many…Continue Reading Evelyn: It’s time to say goodbye, 마지막 인사
Cafes, vacys and 슈퍼주니어??!
Halfway through the semester already? Why does the Spring semester always seem to go faster? I can confirm that this semester definitely feels and probably is a lot busier than last.

However, I did find some similarities between UoA and SKKU, which gave me a little comfort and ease for adjusting and settling in….Continue Reading New to Seoul but feel like “home”
Guess who’s back 나는 돌아 왔어!
Hiya! Welcome to my second semester at Korea University!

Final Update
Guess it’s time to wrap up these updates! The past three months felt like forever but also like they went by in the blink of an eye. I’m back in NZ now, savouring the last few days of warm weather before it gets cold again. I say that, but it has just started raining pretty heavily (and…Continue Reading Final Update

Adventures of my buddy programme
In our Korean language study abroad programme, we had the opportunity to apply for the Doumi programme. The Korean University’s Doumi programme pairs and connects new students in our language study programme with Korean students from the university. During this Doumi programme, local Korean students become our ‘Korean Buddies,’ helping us get comfortable with the…Continue Reading Adventures of my buddy programme
