Moving out of Korea

I'm moving out of Korea within a matter of hours. I've been super busy lately and somewhat stressed but every situation leads to new doors, knowledge, information and experiences. Same is the case here. Once I reach my destination - I'll be covering the ups and down of moving out of Korea as an expat, as a student and particularly when you have to move back in. I wish everybody who is travelling (or will be travelling soon), moving witin or outside a country - the very best!
