My name is Chanel and I have been traveling the world (part-time) since 2003. My very first international experience was to Costa Rica as an exchange student in high school and I fell in love with traveling. Seven years later in 2010, I moved to South Korea and worked as an EFL teacher for two years. Living in Korea allowed me to travel to many Asian countries, and my passion for traveling grew stronger and stronger. I wrote about my experiences on my former blog ‘Coco in Korea’, and that was the time period where I really got into sharing my experiences through blogging.
