@lifeafterever: I have no plan. 39, unemployed. newly married & just moved to small-town Korea 🇰🇷 No friends. New wife. New language. Figuring it out in real time. What would you do first if you were me? Trying not to lose my mind alone all day here. - Day 1 - #startingover #movedabroad #expatsinkorea #smalltowninkorea #day1

I can relate so much. I'm also a foreign wife in Geoje,Korea and arrived 4 months ago. Some days are lonely, but I'm trying to take it one day at a time.

You’re not alone. I’m in the same situation too. I also moved to Korea and had to leave behind my life and career in my home country. Starting over from scratch isn’t easy, and some days are definitely harder than others. I’m still trying to adjust slowly 🥹

If you need to work, then find a job. If you don’t need to work, then find a hobby, that’s how you’ll be able to meet other people. If you’re not really social, find a gym and start a fitness goal or take some type of fitness class.

Please know that you are not alone in this! So many of us have been in your exact shoes, so don't feel bad at all. Starting over is a huge step. Take your time, breathe, and just think about what you truly want to do next. You've got this! 💕

Same here! I have a 16-month-old little one who keeps me busy. When he’s at daycare, I usually spend some time at cafés. I live in Osan-si, so I’m not too far away. If you’d ever like to meet up for a coffee, I’d be happy to! ☕

Was in same position a few years ago. I’d recommend that you get a job no matter what or find something that can generate some income. I left my job when we moved countries and I thought I’d be able to depend fully on my spouse (he’s job was ok, but his peers were not) so he had a mental breakdown and quit. We had to move countries again and I had to become a breadwinner for us at some point. Looking back, I should have done some online business during those times or tried to learn something for my future career.

Good luck to you! I’m sure you will figure it out. I just moved to Daegu 9 months ago. I live in the middle of the city so it’s easy for me to walk around and see new things. I know Pyeongtaek is kinda the country area so walking may not be the best option. I travel to Pyeongtaek often if you ever wanna grab coffee or something. Best wishes!! 🧡

Hi, I’m 36, married to a Korean. I just want to share my story, so that it hopefully makes you feel better. In first several years I only had some friends from the same country as mine, who happened to live in Korea, too. It’s might be good advice to find some “foreign wives in Korea” Kakao/other messenger chats with other people from your home country and make new friends. Some might even live close to you. Living with my husband and constantly speaking Korean to him improved my Korean a lot. After we had our son I started to attend 문센 with him and I met other Korean mommies there and so happened to meet an 언니 which is still one of my best friends here and our sons now attend the same kindergarten. Now that my son is 3 years old I finally managed to find a job as an English teacher. They don’t pay that much but it’s a nice help to our family budget and I love having some extra money and not staying home the whole time. Just give yourself some time. Moving to another country is a huge step, you’re doing great.

Hi sis! I am married to a Korean. We are both living in PH. Not planning to move to Korea anytime soon. What I would suggest is learn the basics sa language. You’ll need it to survive pag hnd mo kasama husband mo. Use this time to find yourself in the midst of the transition. If I were to start there, open a bank account, get a phone number.. Then, I would walk around (prepare naver map, kakao taxi, papago) You’ll feel more confident if you would know your in and out. Next is create a daily/weekly routine, instead of just waiting for him. Plan your days ahead so you have something to look forward to. Like a short class, a hobby, going to walk tours, a new cafe, an errand, a shopping spree, or even a spontaneous craving… you’d be able to share something to your husband how your day went when he get home.
