South Korea, a country that was once a distant dream for many, has now turned into a desirable destination, especially for the younger generation, thanks to the magnetic pull of Kpop and its vibrant culture. However, rewind back 12 years when I first met Victoria, and the notion of moving to South Korea was met with incredulity. It seemed like an offbeat aspiration, an unconventional path to pursue.

Fast forward to 5 years ago, Victoria took a leap of faith and embarked on her journey to Korea. Her experiences offer a fascinating glimpse into the country's transformation and the facets that have made it a magnet for dreamers.

One aspect that stands out is the safety quotient. Victoria points out how safe it is nowadays to send your kids to school and daycare, a luxury that not many places can boast. Even strolling at night carries an air of safety, where the freedom to step out at 2 a.m., grab a snack from the convenience store, and leisurely walk back home is a norm. This level of security adds a unique flavour to life, contributing to the allure of South Korea.

To explore the full advantages and disadvantages of South Korea from the perspective of an expat, tune in to Victoria's story. Her journey offers an intimate peek into the nuances of life in this dynamic nation, illuminating both the highs and the realities that shape the expat experience.
