First Time Teaching and Living Abroad? Tackling the Luggage Nightmare
Posted on Mon, Nov 03, 2014 @ 10:53 AM
Moving abroad for the first time can be a very stressful process. Looking back now, and thinking about how I packed my luggage for the first time, I wish that someone had offered me better advice on what to take and how to pack it. Of course it doesn’t help you when you have never been to Asia before and all you have to go on is 1) Asian stereotypes and 2) What other people tell you. I will be the first one to admit I took way to many things and spent too much money on items I could’ve bought on first arrival in Korea. I remember that hilarious and embarrassing moment when my parents helped me unpack and repack my bags at the airport!
