One of the best aspects of teaching English in Korea is the ability to travel to many of the surrounding countries. However there were many travel tips I wish I knew beforehand. For instance, I remember my first few mistakes I made when traveling abroad in Korea, such as taking the wrong suitcase while island- hopping and eating a cold shrimp off the streets that was not cooked properly. Also, there was the time that I missed an international flight because of not much transit time given in between flights and being scammed on a $200.00 pot of tea. Other blunders included forgetting a passenger ticket on the plane and the depreciation of money that couldn't be exchanged again once back in Korea. All of these things have helped me prepare efficiently before trips and have made me become aware of the things that could go wrong.
