    Ah! This video takes me back to 2015 then I left my job to explore Korea for 9 months.
    TBH, I discovered more about myself these months than I had in three long years in the corporate world. Reflected on life and finding a new path for myself.
    It’s a huge step to take, and Kudos for chasing your dreams and making them a reality! 🌟

    Hi Demi, I would like to know if you have any other visa other than the tourist visa for 3 months or did you just go to somewhere and come back to korea for another 3 months? And since you have been learning korean, which level are you at currently? :) As I think I am quite similar to you as I have left my corporate job to pursue what I really want to do. Thanks!

    Hi Demi, do u alr have some frens in Jeju or are u socialising actively? Jus thinking in a new environment on your own, it is important for your mental health to have a circle of support F2F besides focusing on your work. And besides cheaper rental, what else of Jeju or anywhere else outside SG is making it a more conducive environment than SG? Thanks for sharing your thoughts, take good care.

      Hello, I have some people I know in korea and my host at where I'm at right now is like family. Extremely grateful to them. Just the fact that it's quieter and more peaceful here is good enough of a reason for me to be here. Like many bustling cities similar to singapore it can get suffocating to some and that was how it was for me. Taking a break somewhere helps me reset before coming back home.

    To many, it is a bold move quitting a stable job and move overseas, but I beg to differ after experiencing it.
    I left Singapore in 2018 for a work holiday visa in Australia for a year. Even if I am just earning minimum wage and depleting my savings, it was still the best bold decision I’ve ever made in life. It give me a chance to be independent, resilient and thought me to be a much wiser person.
    Except that back then I wasn’t financially savvy back then 😅 and that it why I moved back to Singapore to a corporate day job again hoping to buy myself that opportunity again.
    I think you have achieved that balance of both and an inspiration to many! Keep on doing what you’re doing 😊

      Given that most that I cover is budgeting mindsets, a path less travelled in terms of career, credit cards, investing, it doesn't matter where I'm based out of. It might even resonate to some who wish to do the same, remote work abroad or take a mini retirement, how to plan your finances for it etc. My content isn't going towards vlogging about korea.
