I'm really going to miss Korea

As you might know, I will be leaving Korea soon to return home. I'm so excited to get home and see my family and friends and have the food I missed! :) But I really love South Korea. When I first got here, I just thought I would get through the 3 months as quickly as I could and then get back home to my family. Sure, the first month I thought this was going to last FOREVER and I would be miserable here. But I started exploring and shopping and finding things that I loved about Korea. It became my home and has been for 3 months. There are so many things that I love about Korea now that it makes me so sad that I'm leaving. I keep telling myself that I will probably come back, but I still feel really upset. I feel like this might be the last time I'm here. Modeling here has given me fun experiences, awkward ones, crazy ones, annoying ones, but they were all amazing and definitely made me a more confident person. I think Korea was really good for me and I will get back home a slightly different person, in a good way.

I just love the city too. Back home I don't live in a big city, so if I want a coffee I need to drive a few minutes to get to a coffee shop, and I don't even have my license yet!! So that means I have to ask my mom or dad if I ever want to go anywhere. Meh. But in Korea, I'm like, "Hmm I could go for a latte right now....Oh I could walk 1 minute down the street and grab one!" It's so nice that everything is right there!!! I can shop for clothes or food just by walking. I never really thought I was a city girl, but I do really like it. It's interesting though, whenever I am in American cities I feel unsafe, even when I am with my family. But here in Korea, I am alone and feel perfectly fine. Everyone I have met is really nice, and no one has made me uncomfortable. So I like Seoul, but maybe not a huge American city like New York...haha.

I definitely want to come back someday. Whether it is with my family, or modeling again, I want to come back to Seoul. I really love it. I love the people, the culture, some of the food ;) and the experiences I've had here. I've seen gorgeous historical sites and met some amazing people, and I will never forget this trip.

I <3 Korea! But I guess it is time to head home now.
