Home at last!
Wow, what a trek....
All of the pictures from our journey around the world can be found on our Facebook pages (click on the "About" tab to find links to our profiles). We'd love to share all of our amazing stories from around the world with you, but we decided to keep this website as an memoir of our teaching experiences solely in Korea.
If you are new to our site and would like to experience what it was like moving half way around the world to teach English in South Korea, begin your journey here:

If you just want to sit back and watch the videos, simply click on the "Video Archive" category on the right, or visit our video hosting site at:

Enjoy!

Trip of a Lifetime...
This is it...the final itinerary.
We left Canada on Aug 18th 2009. Our expected return date is Dec 23rd 2010 (Christmas Eve Eve!).
What's next for us? 112 days of nothing but the shoes on our feet, the bags on our backs, and the wide open world begging to be explored.
One chapter has come to an end, and another is about to begin!
So long Korea! It's been a hell of a ride...
*** (492 days from start to finish) ***

The End is Near
In four days, we’ll be hitting our one year mark in Korea.
Holy crap.
There were far too many ups and downs to reminisce about in a single blog entry. It’s been good, it’s been bad, but most importantly, it’s been an experience. One thing’s for sure; I’m glad we wrote it all down.
I can’t even remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday, so to have a website full of memories that we can keep for the rest of our lives is absolutely invaluable. And to be able to share our adventures with you, the readers, has been so much fun.
It’s hard to believe that just barely over a year ago, neither of us even knew that we’d be teaching in Korea. The idea was seeded in a small conversation, grew into an application, and resulted in an opportunity, which we eagerly grabbed a hold of. There aren’t many times in our lives when we can simply let ourselves be guided by the winds of opportunity, and we weren’t going to let the chance slip past us.
Man, can life ever throw some wicked curve balls.
To quote some motivational poster I read somewhere, written by someone, at some point in history, probably for some very important reason:
"Learn to embrace change, and you'll begin to recognize that life is in constant motion, and every change happens for a reason. When you see boundaries as opportunities, the world becomes a limitless place, and your entire life becomes an adventure."
Amen.

We're Back!!!
Wow, what an incredible trek through Japan!
We have oodles and oodles of exciting updates to share with you over the next couple of weeks. It'll be quite the task to pick out all of the highlights from the thousands of pictures and hours upon hours of video footage, but we'll be working feverishly to get the job done.
We'll keep you posted!

Welcome to Korea!
HELLO AND WELCOME TO ALL 2010 EPIK GUEST ENGLISH TEACHERS!!!
Jess and I would like to give a warm welcome to all of the new Guest English Teachers who will be arriving from all corners of the globe next week. Good luck with your orientation!
Remember, if you travel with an open mind, a positive attitude, and a little spontaneity, adventure will find you…
Now for the bad news…
A few weeks ago, Jess and I were asked by the Gyeongbuk EPIK Coordinator for the Provincial Office of Education to act as ambassadors. We were to help escort you from Jeonju University to the designated meeting point to be paired with your co-teachers. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to help out in this regard as we will be out of the country during that time.
Now back to good news…
Did I say out of the country? Oh ya, I forgot to tell you…
WE’RE GOING TO JAPAN!!!
Our trip is booked from February 14th – 26th, so please come back and visit for all of our exciting updates when we get back!
See you in a few weeks!
With lots and lots of love,
- Ken & Jess
