Episode Notes
Get ready for an insightful and inspiring episode of This Korean Life! 🎙️
This week, we sit down with Dean, an English teacher who has called Ulsan home for the past three years—and he’s loving it! But Dean’s journey didn’t start here. Before settling in Korea, he spent years teaching in China, navigating a vastly different culture and education system. 🌏
In this episode, Dean opens up about the challenges of teaching abroad, how he worked through pandemic struggles, and his personal battle with computer game addiction—a struggle many can relate to. 🎮💡
He shares how he overcame it and discovered optimal ways to spend leisure time, leading to a more fulfilling life. Now, Dean is more than just an educator; he’s a catalyst for social change, having launched various community clubs that bring people together and make Ulsan a better place to live. 🙌
Whether you’re an expat teacher, a gamer looking for balance, or someone seeking ways to build community, this episode has something for you. Don’t miss this deep dive into Dean’s transformative journey!
