THE EPIK LIFE | Teaching & Life in Korea 

THIS MAKES ME WANNA GO EVEN MORE GOD DAMMIT

I ran into this video and stared crying because this is my dream

Entered this in the EPIK life video contest and didn't even place- /side eye for days/ But I'm super proud of this video, and hope you enjoy watching what I've been up to for the past 9 months! :3 :3 :3 :3

I wish this was an hour long girl omg

im laughing so hard when hanbyeol said dont die early

Ever since I first learned about teaching english in Korea I've wanted to go and do that with such a strong passion and it's videos like these that keep it alive.

I spent 2 year in EPIK in Yeongyang-gun in South Korea and just got back August of 2015. And brought home a homeless yorkie back with me!! BEST TIME OF MY LIFE! Thank you Korea!

This made me cry and I don't know why

This is exactly the type of teacher I wanna be😭❤️

I want to do this in ththe future. This is amazing, but I want to go knowing Korean also. I'm going to use these years that I'm still in school and get fluent in Korean. Your video is so inspirational thank you 😁❤️

"Don't die early"... LOL!

I'm working on my TESOL certification right now and this was JUST the motivation I needed to continue and get pumped (well, *more* pumped) about applying for EPIK and moving to Korea. Thank you!

I find it truly inspirational to see that a Hispanic female do a program such as EPIK. It is my dream to teach English abroad! I loved this video and it has furthered my desire to work hard and join a program like EPIK. Gracias!!

This is the best video I've seen omg. I cannot wait to teach in South Korea.

Amazing video girl!!! I'm heading to Busan for EPIK NEXT WEEK (hyperventilate) and I'm so looking forward to it! :D

Showed this to my parents and now they're supportive! Thank you from the bottom of my ❤ I'm going to go chase my dreams!

This video is amazing , love the way you put it together. This deserves more recognition it was so interesting and covered so much in so little time. So inspirational!!

Im so glad you are being such a warm and positive influence to them like dancing with them after school and taking pictures with them, and just over all showing kindness. I know that Korea is very harsh with school and also teacher and student or adult and student relationships can be tricky. So im sure they appreciate you so much and feel they can go to you to feel better and feel close

im watching your old videos as i get ready to leave for the fall term and i’m getting so excited 🥺

Ah, I loved this so so so so so much. I know several people who have taught overseas in Korea and in China, and they ABSOLUTELY loved it. Your life literally is amazing, keep living it and thank you for sharing it with us!

this is a beautiful video, thank you, has made me want to come teach in korea more than any of the other many video's ive seen

Ugh that was such a cute video!! It's awesome that you document all of these adventures. You make moving to another country not seem so scary. 😊

I was going around youtube looking for EPIK reviews and found some really discouraging ones. But then comes your channel. The positivity in this video sums up what I was looking for. At first, I was only interested in going to Korea, but seeing your students touched my heart. I aspire to be good in teaching (if ever I'd pursue it 😂) and be brave enough to work there just like you. All the best! ❤️

I'm going to Korea to teach English in a week and this video made me even more excited! I can not wait!!

WOW is all I have to say!!! I start orientation with EPIK tomorrow and could not be more excited thanks to this video! Your views on teaching and living in Korea are exactly what I've had in mind for this next year living in Daegu. Thank you SO much for sharing this video!!!

this program seems so fun, maybe i'll do it when i'm older since i am currently studying to be a teacher. love how you put the video together!

2:25 o.O she was bout ready to throw some hands sksk but I quite like this video. It makes teaching look fun, especially in Korea, which is what I want to do. So thank you for providing us with high quality videos!

THIS WAS AMAZING OMG SO INSPIRING 😍❤️ Korea looks amazing can't wait to go!

this made me smile. i work in an elementary school. your rapport with your students is marvelous!

What a beautiful video!!! I have been considering applying for the past year or so, and this definitely makes me want to go even more!

I've been working towards my goal to become an ESL teacher and teach in SK for the past year, but was still undecided about EPIK. Watching this I cried and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be signing up lol amazing video! ❤❤❤ it should have won, but at least you're still able to help inspire people 😊 thank you!

oh my god the sign part with that half heart THAT IS SOOOOO CUUUTTEEE!!! i'm so happy for you to have experienced all of that, def a really memorable time :3

I’ve been thinking of teaching in Korea since highschool... I’m in my last year or uni and graduate in summer. I’m applying for Fall 2021. I think it’ll really help me grow and I love this video and everything you say!! Thanks for posting this :) makes me even more excited to apply!

Oh my gosh this litterally made teaching in Korea look a billion times better!!! After seeing all the horror stories this wipes away any fears I had!!!

I enjoyed this!! Great video! I live in Yongin-si and your experience here in Korea looks amazing .

Hey! I will be going in August! Thanks so much for this...it inspired and excited me! It was a great video! gave me such insight into your life and yu seem to embrace it with joy!

Your videos have your own style, they are really cool, that's why i love them!! 🙌 good vibes 💪💪💪

Omgsh, this is AMAZING girl! It seriously warmed my heart just watching this. What an awesome experience you've gotten to take part in and I'm so happy to see/hear how it's turned out. Makes me want to become an English teacher! xD You're one rad teacher though, because acting out One Piece?? And introducing yourself through Kpop? WHAT!? American teachers need to step up their game...

Amazing! My interview is on Monday...been following your latest vids but just discovered this gem (I specified I want to live in Seoul but won't mind if I get Daejeon...you made it look epic...pun intended). Loving it!

I'm super glad to be from Canada and to be able to be an EPIK teacher if I can even though English is not my first language (it's my second of course since I live in Quebec of Canada) but yeah I really hope to do something like this in the future, your video is amazing, made me tear up a bit haha, it's so wonderful

This video made my heart race with excitement! How beautiful an experience! Nice video too :)

THIS makes me extremly happy like to see thoses kids love you so much i cried a little

It's 2021 now and looking at this makes me so excited to finish university! I cannot wait for my graduation so I can apply to the EPIK program ~

I am so HYPED for my new goal!!!

Ty for posting videos like this inspire me to do this even more now❤

This was such a heartwarming video!

Your video is so lovely and positive. I've some other EPIK videos that make it sound not so great. I'm applying to teach after I graduate so still about 2 years away but I can't wait

I honestly loved this video so so much😊💖

ive always had the want to teach and this is just the best! im definitely applying after im done with college!

This was a very inspirational video!!! Im a senior in high school and have been thinking to learn Korean and teach abroad. It would be so cool to learn other cultures and meet different people. Im only scared that I won't be the fun and amazing teacher that i want to be to the kids. Thank you so much for this video!!

I've been researching and contemplating if I should take the risk after college to try teaching in SK anddddd I think this video made me say yes.

I know this is a very old video, but I've been binge watching a few videos on this channel hehe. Ahhhh, this is a great vid, all your vids are tbh. Very well edited and chill. You remind me so much of a friend of mine haha, she too likes to refer to everyone as "dude". The Epik program does sound AMAZING, but sadly I'm not from one of the eligible countries, and tbh, living in Japan is my dream >.< But if that were to happen (God I beg you), I would totally visit Korea frequently!!! But yeah lol, great video!!!! GREAT CHANNELLLLL!!!!! Oh, I also worked as an English teacher a few years back, but only as a volunteer and in Nepal. Seeing your interactions with the kids makes me miss the kids I taught back then. I was there only for 2 months, but gosh, cried like a baby when I had to say goodbye :(((( Esp because they got me a nice parting gift, that I still have, chilling on my desk. Seeing this really makes me want to go back, just gotta save up enough money welp.

Wow! You sold me 😁 I want to apply, but I know nothing about the Korean culture 😭 you seem to fit right in and your connection with the kids 💞

Absolutely amazing! I'm so happy you are having such an amazing time!! I wish I had the nerve to apply. My gift to myself for getting my master's is a trip so South Korea so that may make up my mind for me!!! :)

I'm soooo excited to apply for epik!! Your adventures look amazing!! Still have 4 more years til I finish and get a bachelors though TT_TT

Aaw this is so cute. The don't die early had me cracking up.

This definitely was inspiring!!! Have always dreamed of living and working in a different country, will do it one day!!

WOW! This is the best EPIK teacher video I've seen! leaving next month to teach through EPIK and if I have even a quarter of what you experienced, I'll be glad :D

This is so inspiring!! I'm finishing my TEFL certification now and I'm trying to decide where I should apply.. I'm thinking now I will definitely apply to the EPIK Program. :))))))))))))))

Dang, this is a really awesome and well-made video!

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO BE MY LIFE

Aww this video is making me even more excited to move to Korea! I got a job there and will be leaving at the end of the year hopefully 🌸🎈🎉

DUUUUUDE! That was awesomesauce! loved it!

Wow, you're time with EPIK LIFE, and all things you've done were so inspiring! It really captured life in Korea in the most open-minded and positive way. I am really looking forward to many new experiences when I go to study in Seoul as an exchange student at SNU. Thanks for sharing:)

they are so adorable!!

Going in October ^^ depending on how my three week trip goes, I am thinking of applying to teach. So excited! I can't wait to eat everything in sight lmao I can't believe this vid didn't win, its so good! They did you dirty 😂

This was absolutely AMAZING and INSPIRING! Such an awesome video! ^___^ If I wasn't already in Korea, this would for sure make me catch the next incoming flight! Ha ha! The fact that you also like anime and incorporated it in class was a plus as well. 😁

looks so fun 🥺

OMG, with this video I have finally decided to do epik!! have to wait for 4 years though 😂😅. but this legit called to mee!!

This is incredible!

I'm currently a teacher at SMOE (Chunil Elementary, Seoul) and thank you for sharing this ! This is my 8th year at SMOE and I'm still loving it !

This is so beautiful

I loveeeeeeeed this video. It seriously gave me chills. Any tips on lesson planning?

this made me extremely happy 😍😍

wow :) great video. sad that you didnt place (lol 3 years later)... haha currently studying neuroscience and planning on going to medical school to become a doctor, but sometimes i wish I could just step back and see where the flow leads me without thinking that I have to do this or have to do that.

This is so inspirational!

loved this

I want to become this type of English teacher😭 your classes look so fun I cri

Thank you for this video, I hope when i grow up i can be an EPIK teacher in South Korea :) ahh side note i went kayaking at Morro bay California and seals kept swimming aside from me and it was magical lol

Watching this in 2021 and praying I get into EPIK next year 😭

I wanted to be an epik teacher already but this makes me want to do it even more

This is so beautiful 😍

A very beautiful video ^^

Wow . I subbed . Wow so many things i REALLY HOPE i will do when i go back .. wow .

im sold. im going

I’m applying to epik and am torn between Daejeon and daegu as my second choices to Busan. I know that Busan will nearly be impossible so I want to make sure I put a good second choice. Have you been to daegu? I hear it’s very conservative and unbearably hot. Did you like Daejeon?

I met you at TaLK orientation! I didnt realized I was subscribed to you XD

What a charming lady and wonderful teacher you are! I wish I had a fabulous teacher like you when I was growing up! As a teacher myself, who is moving to Seoul this summer, I am inspired by your energy and passion for what you do. Keep it up!
