    The New South of Seoul Public Health Program

    July 7, 2021 /

    The Start of the South of Seoul Public Health Program Since 2015, South of Seoul volunteers have supported the English-speaking international community living in South Korea. When COVID-19 swept across the country, the lack of access to critical information related to healthcare for the international community became evident.

    What to expect when you’re settling into a new culture

    August 10, 2020 /

    I’ve moved several times in my life to cultures quite different than mine. I’m originally from Romania. I’ve always oscillated between maintaining my cultural heritage and identity while engaging with local people and the wider society that I’m living in.

    By: Angela Alvis, South of Seoul volunteer No stay in Korea is complete without an authentic Korean spa experience. These are places where Koreans come to relax, unwind, and do some serious cleansing. Korean spas and jjimjilbangs (which literally translates to “heated room” in English) are not designed for tourists, though foreigners are always welcome.
