While preparing to begin my adventures in South Korea, I'm currently visiting my family in northern France. My stay has been characterized by two or three weekly trips to the grocery store, from which I return laden with enough food to fill my younger brothers' hungry stomachs.Being back in France, after my first year at college in Virginia, has been wonderful. I've missed hearing languages other than English, and of course I've missed my family. Europe is a very big part of me, however I can't wait to go farther east than I've ever gone: to South Korea.
My trip preparations have been going smoothly, finances, clothes, etc. Everything is in order, except for my visa. And that, might just be the most important item on my list. I sent my application to the Korean embassy in Paris, and am now impatiently waiting for them to send my passport back.
My flight to Seoul leaves on August 27th from Brussels. My heart flutters with excitement at the thought that I will be in the air in less than a month. Due to my somewhat unusual childhood, I have been able to fly many times before, however every time the incredulous feeling that I am flying overcomes me. More than the thought of Seoul, the thought of the journey fills me with elation!
