Today is departure day. I am so sad yet so fulfilled from this trip. 14 days was the sweet spot to be in South Korea. We had to be in the lobby at 11:45am with all our luggage. I woke up at around 8:30-9:00am to get breakfast with others before we headed to the airport….

Our last full day in Seoul has come. Thursday’s itinerary was fairly light. We had a Han River cruise, presentations, and dinner. We had to congregate in the lobby at 11:00am so it was the first day we were able to sleep in. We took a bus to the river and then had bento boxes…

Wednesday was another busy day however, instead of company visits we once again ventured as a big group to explore Korea some more. We started the morning by visiting Bukchon Hanok Village. This village is a residential area, and we were told to be quiet and not be boisterous as we walked the streets. The…

Surprisingly, my legs did not hurt too much from the hike the day before. Monday morning was an early one because we had two company visits. We were visiting Samsung and Hy. Since we hadn’t had a company visit in a few days I was very eager and excited. I was especially excited for Hy…

Sunday might have been my favorite day yet. Our agenda consisted of a hike at Bukhansan National Park. Later that day around dinner time we had a cooking class. Sunday started by getting up around 7:30-8:00am. The drive was about 30 minutes. Once we got there it was go time, and we started hiking. Kay…

The day most of us were eagerly waiting for. This was the day we were going to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The DMZ is a buffer zone between North and South Korea aimed at keeping distance between the two countries to prevent direct military conflicts. The bus ride was about 1.5 hours long and I…

Just as the title says, Thursdays are for taekwondo. This day everyone in Plus3 Korea spent time together venturing out about in the city. It started with a taekwondo class in the early afternoon. I had no idea what to expect. The only type of martial arts I was familiar with is from the Disney…

Wednesday was our company visit with Eaton! Eaton is an Irish/American power management company that works within the auto industry, they have multiple branches throughout the world. The senior vice president gave us a mini presentation and held a Q&A with us all. He discussed the company’s sustainability measures and where they hope to be…

Tuesday was such a unique day. After our main event of the day (visiting CampHumphreys) we had quite a lot of free time for the rest of the day/night.Tuesday morning started with us heading on the bus to drive to Camp Humphreys,a US military base. Personally, I didn’t know what to expect, as I had…

The night of May 3rd was filled with excitement, laughter, anticipation, and yearning. In only a few short hours we would be on a plane to Seoul. We traveled by bus at around 3:00am to the PIT airport where we spent 40 minutes in line, due to us getting there early. Fortunately, our  connecting flight…
