Jeju Island is located just south of the Korean peninsula in the Korea Strait. It is a famous vacation destination. Known as being Korea’s Hawaii, Jeju is a favorite for Koreans and others from neighboring nations. It is particularly popular during the spring and summer. I went during the fall to avoid the crowds and peak season prices. I hope to motivate all you lovely Aclipse/Chungdahm teachers to plan a trip to Jeju of your own.

Be Sure to Visit Jeju, the "Hawaii of Korea," While Teaching in Korea

One of the longest breaks you will have as a ChungDahm teacher is during the Korean holiday of Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving). The other major holiday would be Seollnal (Lunar New Years). Whenever these holidays approach, I always take the time to leave the city. In times past, I’ve visited Malaysia, Manila, and Busan. We have had teachers visit Hong Kong and Thailand during this long vacation too. This year, I decided to take time and go to a place that I had been to before but never got a really chance to explore. This place I decided to go back to was Jeju.

It is my last week teaching English in Korea. After living in Jeju for over a year, I have done everything on the island that I have wanted to do; I have climbed Jeju's volcano, Mt. Hallasan, several times, visited all of the beaches, checked out Jeju's famous lava tubes, and so much more. Yet, there was still one more thing on my bucket list. I haved joked about doing it since I arrived in Korea, but have not seriously thought about going. But with my time in Korea dwinding down, I thought this might be my last opportunity to visit an erotic theme park.

Waterfalls in Jeju, Korea...Another Reason to Visit the Island!

As an English teacher in Korea, I feel extremely lucky to live in Jeju. Jeju is the prettiest, most diverse, and most interesting place I have ever lived. The longer I live here the more I realize this and the awesome locations I discover on the island. If you research Jeju, you will surely find information about the beautiful beaches and the massive volcano (Mt. Halla) in the middle of the island. Those attractions definitely receive the most attention, but after living here for over a year, I have discovered something just attention-worthy as the beaches and the volcano: the many waterfalls that can found around the island.
