Important Update

Hello Everyone!

I have some important new updates for everyone.

Currently I don't have a lot to write about because I've stopped traveling around Korea to save a buck or two. In less than six weeks, Matthew and I will be taking off to Central America for two and half months. Initially, this trip was made to be a Dive Master internship for Matt and surfing heaven for me. Things changed as they always do with us. Matt was going to have to pay extra to finish some dives before he could start the internship and I've already been to Costa Rica so I was hungry for some new adventures.

After Korea??

As the time comes to finish my contract in Korea and move on to a new adventure in life I become baffled, confused, overwhelmed and uncertain of everything. I’ve lived abroad before and have become acquainted with these feelings as the time comes to leave the places I have created a life in. In the past I have made fast, irrational and completely wonderful decisions.

Kimchi Crisis!

OH NO! Due to copious amounts of rain this past summer and lack of good harvest there has been a kimchi crisis. Kimchi is the most common banchan (side dish) in Korea. There are hundreds of different ways to make it but typically it is fermented cabbage, radish or cucumber with a red chili paste along with many other seasonings.

Ridge Climbing at Daedunson

After a fun weekend climbing in Busan, we weren’t ready for the cold weather to take over just yet. One final ridge climbing weekend in Daedunson was the perfect way to end our outdoor rock climbing adventures in Korea. Though we may do a bit more bouldering here or there, the changing seasons has our next adventures focused on ice climbing and hiking.

Busan Prefreeze Climbing Extravaganza

With the number of warm days on the decline, the Busan Climbing crew set up the Prefreeze Climbing Extravaganza. This included an entire day of climbing, photo scavenger hunts, cracking riddles, meeting new and interesting people and finishing the day with an Indian dinner and drinks at a “foreigner” bar.
