Just got back from six days in Chiang Mai, and I wish it had been at least six weeks! What a magical and amazing area. #thailand #chiangmai #expat #travel
Okay I’ll admit it…I have a weakness for roadside dumplings. And that 5,000krw ($3.66) price tag for 5 is a steal! 🤤 #mandu #korea #southkorea #dumplings #kimchi #expat #expatlife #foodie

It’s market day here, and the last of the #garlic is coming in with the first stone fruits. I see something cool each time we visit the local sellers. #korea #southkorea #pyeongtaek #expat #expatlife #southkorea #farmersmarket #everyexpatinkorea

A New York themed cafe? We had to pop over to Pyeongtaek Port to check out this massive cafe packed with Americana. It was super cute, and super tasty! Perfect for the ‘gram. 🤌 #expat #expatlife #everyexpatinkorea #korea #southkorea #pyeongtaek #osanairbase #cafe #americana #foratravel

What’s for lunch? Bibimbap, bibimnangmyeon, and ttukbaeigi bulgogi 🔥 I know the warm soups are more of a winter deal, but they are so good! My oldest loves the spicy cold noodles #korea #southkorea #pyeongtaek #osanairbase #expat #expatlife #everyexpatinkorea #bibimbap #foodie #nangmyeon

Happy Mother’s Day! We went to the Original Pancake House in Jamsil for breakfast, then checked out the #Pokémon Town happening at #Lotte World Mall. Did you know #Metamong is the Korean word for #Ditto? #korea #lotteworldmall #mothersday #southkorea #originalpancakehouse

Just in case you’re wondering how cold it is here in South Korea, it snowed yesterday. On March the 18th. And not a little. Quite a bit. 🥹 Please, Spring, don’t be shy.

Last weekend I made it to the Baneul (Banul) knitting cafe in Seoul, and it was absolutely dreamy. There were a lot of fiber options (not a lot of chunky options) and plenty of tools to get you started. The cafe upstairs offers adorable button bread filled with custard or bean paste. 🤌 #korea #expat

When the ticket seller tells me no seats, standing only…but is it really? 💅 On the real, though, book tickets well in advance (maybe two weeks?) 😭 #korea #southkorea #traintravel #expat #everyexpatinkorea

Slammed down some food at a local izakaya - is it weird to be enjoying Japanese food in Korea? 🤔 Everything was amazing except maybe the corn, which reminded me of field corn back home. Still edible, but would not order again 🥹 #korea #southkorea #everyexpatinkorea #pyeongtaek #expat
