And so it begins...

My name is Crystal. This year has been one that has been marked by transition in both my husband's life as well as my own. We have moved around frequently, changed jobs several times, and have even added an addition to our family (a puppy named Eli). You thought I meant a baby didn't you. :-) Along the journey we decided we were pretty much up for anything at this point in our lives. We began looking for options around September when we lost our jobs up in NC. We looked into every possible opportunity. These ranged from going back to school to possibly getting work locally in Jacksonville.

We came across the idea of becoming a teacher directly after we graduated from Southeastern UNiversity n 2008. We toyed with the idea of teaching ESL in Japan, but nothing serous ever really came from it. Recently we contacted a friend from school who was currently in Korea teaching with his wife in Seoul. We began to look at the options in Korea and decided it would be a great opportunity for us. We have begun the process. We looked online at a few different websites about locating jobs for ESL in Korea. Dave's ESL Cafe, ATC recruiting, and several others.

We decided ATC was the way to go for our family. We have been pursuing different options throughout Korea and have possibly loacted a few that appear to be perfect for us. As we embark on this journey, this blog serves to be a future reminder of our travels as well as possibly a guide for others who are looking to get similar work in Korea. We are so excited about getting the opportuniy to travel for a year of our loves doing something we love with each other. Keep us n your prayers, as this can be a very confusing and long process.  Thanks. More to come in the near future.
