Seoul Director
안녕하세요! Welcome to Seoul! A U.K. national, I’ve been living over in Seoul for the past five and a half years. What started as a whirlwind summer holiday trip ended up with me falling in love with this fast-paced and totally unique city, motivating me to take on a new career and a new continent – and after nearly six years here, I’m still discovering something new every day.
Along with the more widely-known aspects of Korean culture, from K-pop and K-dramas to K-fashion and K-BBQ, Seoul and the country of South Korea more broadly have a fascinating history, an enduring culture and a natural beauty that can take you from hiking in the mountains and national parks of the eastern side of the country down to swimming in the crystal-blue waters off the southern island of Jeju.
While in Seoul, you can expect to enjoy all the conveniences of hyper-modern metropolitan life, including a total immersion into the fast-paced Korean culture and language. Furthermore, day trips out to the other major cities of South Korea, made possible by the nation’s excellent transportation system, will provide you with a fascinating look into more traditional and historical Korean culture, architecture, food and more.
Gyeongbukgung Palace, the Hongdae shopping streets, Bongeunsa Temple, Lotte Tower and so much more await you. I look forward to meeting you!
The Seoul Director provides academic advice, introduces you to the community and handles communication with the University.
