This Filipino college student braves her way abroad and starts her college journey in South Korea alone.

After getting accepted into the Global Korea Scholarship 2022, Jane packed her bags along with her faith, hoping for nothing but the best for her new life in a foreign country of South Korea. She is currently a first-year student at Sun Moon University in Asan, South Korea taking up Physical Therapy.

Her life in South Korea is a mixture of everything just like how everyone expected it to be. It has its ups and downs, but Jane always makes sure to get by with her family, friends, and boyfriend by her side. Although it was difficult for her to make friends as she was the only foreigner in her department. With this, she would like to emphasize the importance of knowing South Korea’s culture and language to be able to connect and understand their upbringings.

As she continues her life as a foreign student, it also gave her the opportunity to discover more of herself, such as her own style. It was like a breath of fresh air to find new things about yourself. It also paved the way for her to start content creation.

Jane is now creating TikTok videos about her life in South Korea for curious and interested people to study there in the future. She also answers some of their questions.

But behind the camera, Jane would like to reiterate that living in South Korea is not what it looks like in the K-dramas we see. South Korea still has its flaws and it is still up to you how you’ll live in a foreign country.

But despite all of these, Jane ends with a simple message that will cheer everyone up, “I hope you will be able to live a happy  life in Korea despite all the hardships you might have. Let's chase our dreams together. I'm rooting for you all!”
