aw, your place is so stinking cute. i've seen a lot of apartment tours and this one (even without your very cute decorations) has the most minimalist and sleek design I think i've seen yet!
This place is by far the most cute and pretty apartment that I've saw. I've been watching so many apartment tours and this is my favorite , simple yet beautiful.
I love how you opted for a twin sized bed, and put a couch, your common space had your sleeping, living, and dining aread, but it doesn't look crowded.. most apartment tours i saw don't have the couch for an apartment this size.. high five! Absolutely love the clock as well!
Omg it would be awesome if you could make a video about what to wear to work in Korea as a teacher! I’m considering applying in the next year to do EPIK, life is too short not to lol. The quarter life crisis is hitting me hard
Damn, your apartment may be small but you decorated it very nicely! It also looks very modern and luxurious. I would prefer to have a small apartment like yours than a huge one.
I am in love!! The bed, couch and table was there though right?? I am moving to Korea in the fall 2019!! I hope my place is as nice as yours! I’ll definitely be hitting up that store!
thanks! and nah no bed, no couch no table. just a microwave and my suitcases. it was empty! but Incheon had just started hiring epik teachers again so that's likely why i had no furniture. no teacher had lived their previously. but other places will likely have a bed and a table already for you!
That is still cool that you were able to pick out what you wanted. I am applying in January/February for fall! I am not sure where I will get placed but I am excited!! I hope my place has as much storage as yours does!
Omg your shoe closet is so boujieeeeee. The apartment in general is boujiee! It’s literally a hit or miss with epik apartments cause the school pick it right? You blessed up with this apartment 😭🙌🏻 cause I saw the other epik apartments and yours is the best so far (not including seoul location).
yep, your co teacher generally picks out your apartment so it's a complete toss up, though I've seen some more impressive ones in the Juan area of incheon
I think you should move the bed sideways to the right wall ,and the Couch to the left wall instead of the dining table or( next to the bed on the right wall) .And the dining table you could make it closer to the kitchen in the middle . It may not work but try it🤭❤️
I like to watch apartment tours a lot and never really comment on any but I felt like I should comment on yours because our names are pretty similar (the spellings are different but pretty sure they are pronounced the same way ^^) and we both love pink. you have a very pretty apartment.
Thanks! and unfortunately no. You can provide a preferred city on your application but you could end up anywhere. If you apply and get the paperwork in early AND there are many open positions for the city you put as your preference you're more likely to be placed there. but ultimately it is random. the office of education does the actual selection not EPIK and no one really knows what they base it on.
Your apartment is cool!!! I wanna ask a q that's as im an indian can i teach in south korea Means only for native speakers or there's other option for non native speakers?
Beautiful place. Quick question, do you get free meals from your school? I noticed a lot of the apartment tour videos have empty fridges so I was curious
Lol thank you! And I love the subtle diss 😂 but the only meal my school offered was lunch and I do believe it came out my check. Otherwise for any other meals I would grocery shop and cook or dine out. But one thing about Korea is that eating at restaurants was very affordable
As an EPIK teacher you are not required to pay rent if you stay in the apartment provided to you by your school. If you do choose to live in a different apartment than what your school provides, they will cover a certain amount of your rent as well.
Your apartment is such pretty...I loved it.. Can you tell me please is it possible to be English teacher in South Korean if your primary language is not English..???
For EPIK you have to be a citizen of specific countries, i think there's a list on their site. They expect english to be your primary language or for your schooling to have been in english. For private schools or hagwons I'm not sure what their requirements are
the bed is provided as part of the contract. i didn't have one when i got here but they had already ordered it. it came a few weeks later. pretty much everything else furniture wise is from gmarket which is like korean amazon. and as for packing... where there's a will there's a way lol. but i did use those bags where you vacuum the air out and truthfully all my suitcases were grossly overweight.
@@amaralush4183 Ah, okay. I've wondered about buying furniture (or receiving it, or whatever) because using public transport would be a bit of an issue lol. I'm not too worried about packing but with all those shoes.. I commend you lol. Your home is really lovely! Have you been enjoying your time?
@@joonchild.9393 yeah delivery is quick and efficient here so i wouldn't worry much. My time here is coming to an end soon. Korea turned out not to be for me personally but I'm glad i took the chance and had the experience.
@@amaralush4183 Thanks for the information, Amara. I'm sorry it didn't work for you but I think it's great that you got your chance to go! Do you have plans to teach anywhere else? Like Japan, China, Taiwan? Or maybe in like Spain or something?
Branden Sattler Thanks! You need a bachelor's degree and either a 120 hour TEFL certification or a teaching license. Some places like Busan require in class hours for TEFL but for most online is fine.
Hey I realized you have a Samsung and I was wondering what do you use to edit videos? I want to become an EPIK teacher like you but also film some of my days in Korea (mainly for family and friends) Love th video btw! Can't wait for more! Much love~ ❤
for this particular video i just used my laptop's built in editing software which is really low tech. but lightworks is a pretty easy free editing software
So if you want to work for EPIK what bachelors degree would you need, like would it have to be in English or can you have a bachelor's degree in anything and you can work as long as you have one. I understand you dont always need a bachelors degree for certain companies but I plan to have a bachelor's. Plz help. d=(´▽｀)=b
Your apartment is so nice! Lots of storage space and no wet room. I am hoping either to get a shower like yours or a bath tub. I am currently waiting for EPIK to send me my contract and I'll be getting my apartment next month.
@@amaralush4183 most likely in Sejong, my original choice was Daejeon but the interviewer convinced me to change it because Daejeon was too competitive and she didn't want me placed somewhere too random and far away from Daejeon
How long have you been in Korea? I'm currently in the process and should start in fall. Just came back from Korea for a break and LOOOOVVVING Daiso! It's like the UK version of B&M bargains and Primark all wrapped in one!
I'm so sad because my last hagwon said they would renew me for a second year and they waited a month to tell me they change their minds. I had a huge one room with a huge real shower and nice bathroom. Now I am sitting in Seoul jobless living off my savings, and tomorrow I have to turn down a job offer in Busan because the bathroom is the typical tiny bathroom with a hose shower attached to the sink. I refuse to live like that for a whole year. Most korean apartments suck.
@@urkindalame thank you! I appreciate it. This will be a bit long. Epik is cool, no problems with getting paid or vacation. But every school and coteacher will be different in terms of teaching styles, schedules, and added expectations. For example you're supposed to teach 22 hours a week but i only have 21 so that extra hour I've done parent classes and after that i started doing english play club. I know other people who do other special clubs and classes. In terms of whether or not to stay i think, while it's included, the decision goes beyond EPIK and work and into do you like Korea. Overall Korea is not for me so i don't plan to renew. However just about everyone else I know is staying so it depends on the person. Either way it's been a good experience.
oh wow so you think you're going to leave korea afterwards? i've heard countless experiences but you're the first i've heard that they decided they disliked korea. do you mind talking about what happened?
aw, your place is so stinking cute. i've seen a lot of apartment tours and this one (even without your very cute decorations) has the most minimalist and sleek design I think i've seen yet!
thank you!
They will place me in a city with Daiso. I’m putting it out there lol. Super cute place. Please make more videos. Don’t forget us!
This place is by far the most cute and pretty apartment that I've saw.
I've been watching so many apartment tours and this is my favorite , simple yet beautiful.
I watched alot of tours but your apartment is so great because your choices of the colors 👌🏻✨ I really like it.

I've noticed that all the nice apartments are in Incheon!! Love the aesthetic💖
Damn, your apartment may be small but you decorated it very nicely! It also looks very modern and luxurious. I would prefer to have a small apartment like yours than a huge one.
Hey Amara! Great video tour. Every time you say “and this is from ...”, I would like a Daiso Haul !!! 🙈 Keep going (I loveeee pink tooo)
Your space is tiny but you made it look like it's not, I love how you arranged it and also love the color pattern. It looks homey 💗
thank you!
wow your apartment looked so pretty!
This place is amazing, you're lucky!
We need more videos!!, it would be interesting to tell us your journey in Korea
Small but nice. You did a great job decorating.
thank you so much!
your room is soooo cute. I'm loving the theme!
Jo Park thanks! i really appreciate it
the closet space, WOW
You're so neat! Like me, subscribed. lol Hope you make more videos, I'd greatly appreciate and enjoy them.
I am in love!! The bed, couch and table was there though right?? I am moving to Korea in the fall 2019!! I hope my place is as nice as yours! I’ll definitely be hitting up that store!

Wow o you are the first person I’ve seen with a separate shower,👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯

hey thanks! I really appreciate it, but I actually left Korea a month ago
Your apartment is so nice..Can you please tell us about the deposited money and monthly rent?
How tiring are the round trips to Seoul?
And wow your apt is luxury compared to the dirty ground floor shoe box size apt I was provided...
How much depart money?
I love your taste 😍😍 looks so cozy!!!
thank you so much!!
I like to watch apartment tours a lot and never really comment on any but I felt like I should comment on yours because our names are pretty similar (the spellings are different but pretty sure they are pronounced the same way ^^) and we both love pink. you have a very pretty apartment.
thanks!!
So is Daiso like the walmart/target of korea? lol
do apartments like that come with a garbage disposal in the sink?
@@amara7912 interesting! For some reason i was curious about this
Please do a work outfit video!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is so cute! Are you still in Korea? Update us about your life!
Do u mind sharing the name of this complex?
Beautiful apartment😍
Hey im moving to Songdo and will be doing the TaLk program can i Live in Songdo even though my school is 30-40 mins away ?
my school was about a 30 - 40 minute subway ride away, i'd say it's doable. 40 minute driving distance would be a lot though
very well oganized!
Nice Apartment!!
Hii! Your apartment is so cute! Pink is also my favorite color so I LOVE this!! With EPIK do you get to choose if you live in City or Rural area?
Thanks! and unfortunately no. You can provide a preferred city on your application but you could end up anywhere. If you apply and get the paperwork in early AND there are many open positions for the city you put as your preference you're more likely to be placed there. but ultimately it is random. the office of education does the actual selection not EPIK and no one really knows what they base it on.
@@amaralush4183 wow, thank you so much!! that was really helpful and informative :)♡
Couch is the cutest thing
thanks! 😊
how many months are you staying
I actually left Korea a month ago

Do they sell the Apple Cider Vinegar in Korea?
i haven't seen it in stores but i just buy it from gmarket, got it in less than a week. It's a very useful site when you're here.
That's good to know! Thank you!
Your apartment is such pretty...I loved it..
Can you tell me please is it possible to be English teacher in South Korean if your primary language is not English..???

@@amaralush4183 okay..Thanks.
I love this! Do you still live in Korea?
I'm dead when you said summon me
What about the furniture? You hit up Ikea or what? And howww did you pack so much into just 3 suitcases? Lol
the bed is provided as part of the contract. i didn't have one when i got here but they had already ordered it. it came a few weeks later. pretty much everything else furniture wise is from gmarket which is like korean amazon. and as for packing... where there's a will there's a way lol. but i did use those bags where you vacuum the air out and truthfully all my suitcases were grossly overweight.

thanks! I'd like to, but if i were to do consistent TH-cam videos I'd want to have a topic of focus and i'm not sure what that would be right now
Could you tell me what the building is called and where it is located please is that I am interested in studying there
Girl make more videos 💕💕❤
