When you arrive in Korea to live (especially if you have a family) you have a very different experience than those that are here for a holiday. You need to know more about how to settle into your home, adapt to the new culture, and balance your daily life. You also need advice from people who have lived in South Korea for an extended period of time and can offer you more than personal documentation of their journey processing culture shock through blogs and vlogs.
South of Seoul has put together a list of five female bloggers who offer different views of living a full and balanced life in South Korea. This cross-section of nationalities and experiences provides a relatively balanced view of South Korea through the eyes of five different cultures that may provide a base of understanding as you go through life.
We have included each female, ex-pat blogger’s various platforms so that you can choose which social media or content platform suites your needs.

Founded in 2015, the South of Seoul team consists of volunteers on three continents working together to support English-speaking people traveling or living in South Korea. South of Seoul volunteers work with organizations and individuals across South Korea to improve equitable access to information across South Korea. Much of South of Seoul’s information focuses on Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
Blogs published under the authorship of “South of Seoul” include blogs compiled by multiple volunteers to improve access to standardized information unrelated to individualized personal experiences.
