Where am I

I have up and moved to Ulsan, South Korea.
I am from Solvang, California.
I moved here for a number of reasons:
The most important: i believe there is something here for me.  God is up to something.
And of course to travel, see a new culture, get out of debt and see if i actually like teaching.

So far i am quickly learning a new culture and slowly learning a new language.  This might take awhile to learn Korean.  So far, Korea has been very good to me.  I really think the credit goes to God.  My prayers have been answered better than i could have imagined.  Life has never showed me so much favor before.  This doesn't mean that everyday is a cake walk, it merely means I am well taken care of and definitely have the power of the Lord on my side.

Korea is no Solvang.  I don't think Solvang exists anywhere else.  It is certainly a mini dream land, but the country side of Korea is comforting for its mountain press right up to the town or beach.  Which is one of my favorite parts about home.  Being tucked right in the mountain and be able to gaze upon its beauty.

I am very much out of my comfort zone.  The first couple weeks were a bit startling and overwhelming.  So many new things to see and do and try to understand.  I was exhausted.  And thats not even from teaching.  There are flashing lights on every corner.  The side walks are not even (much like Baltimore) and even then, the cars sometimes frequent the sidewalks.  I feel like i always have to pay attention to what i am doing and where i am going.  Otherwise i would run into something.

So, i will be updating much of my life here.  Im sure i will write a lot in the beginning and probably forget to add new things near the end of the year.  I apologize in advance for not blogging daily or maybe weekly.  I seem to be more of a binge blogger.  Regardless of when i write, you can always find more here.  And feel free to email me more about any certain event or thought.

Thanks for visiting,
