I can't believe this is it. I am actually leaving beautiful Seoul. 4 months flew by so fast. Seoul has been amazing. Just because it's over, doesn't mean there is not more to tell. But what made this whole experience to the level of amazing are the people that I was surrounded with. Korea is great, the culture is so interesting and so present and the city/country looks amazing, but nothing brings it to a better level than having loving people around you.
I can honestly say that I made dear friends for life. Those who are, know it. Thank you all for making this Seoul experience even better. My heart is full, and I am so thankful to have met you guys.  I pray blessings over each and every one of you and I hope that we all will cross paths again in the future. To my dear dear friends, know that you have a home in the Netherlands.

Saying goodbye is so hard. Of course there is social media. Of course we won't talk to each other every day anymore. But for 4 months, these are the people I've spent my days with. You can't describe having to say goodbye to such moments.

A special shout out to my dear roommate, Kookkai. The one who had to put up with me in the smallest dorm of the complex. Bunk beds and too much stuff in an illegal small space, but I couldn't have been more blessed with her as a roommate. Ottokaeyo, Kookkai? Who is going to wake me up with a K-pop alarm clock now, which I ended up singing along to (and downloading on my pc)? From K-pop schooling and singing in Noraebang, sharing irritations about HRM, monday dance classes, hugs whenever someone needs it to contagious laughing: I will miss you incredibly much.
I've said it to most of you: Each year is another chance to see each other again. If it doesn't happen that year, there is another chance in the year after. You guys made Seoul a home for me and I carry each and every one of you in my heart and in my prayers.

Warning: Selfie overload (sorry if I didn't get everyone on it). Credits: Several Selfie kings and queens.

Blessings and love,


Nina

P.S. As I said, just because I'll be leaving Seoul, it doesn't mean that there is not a lot to tell you. Past weeks have been crazy busy rounding up finals and having goodbyes. This blog has not reached it end yet when it comes to Seoul articles. There is a whole load of pictures, videos and thoughts laying aroudn to be posted. Bear with me.

P.P.S. Also this blog is not over yet since I'm continuing my adventure.. in JAPAN !
