I like your apartment, but honestly, my favorite part of this video is your voice! So sweet and easy to listen to, and there were parts where you sounded excited and delighted as you described various things in your apartment. That made me feel excited, too, and it held my interest.
Terra thank you so much for mentioning this! I wanted to include as much information as possible but some parts did make me more excited then others!! Haha I try to have a calm voice in my videos, I’m so glad you noticed! 🤍
such a wonderful video! i usually skip around these kinds of videos bc they can get pretty repetitive, but you have a knack for keeping one entertained and focused! must be the sign of a great teacher, haha 😄 i really love how you decorated the place and you're so lucky with all that space! i hope i'm that lucky when i'm there! i'm planning to apply to epik for spring intake 2022 and putting my first choice down as daejeon. thanks for the video!!! 💕
You are too sweet, thank you so much! Daejeon is a great place to start your Korea journey; I work at a Hagwon so I don’t have any EPIK advice but I’m routing for you! I’ll post more videos about Daejeon soon so feel free to subscribe for more :)
@@nishap5758 I do need to start uploading more regularly, things have been so hectic lately! I'll leave a comment on this video once I do prepare my next video~ Thanks for the support!
I used to live in this building. How are you liking it? I remember hating how they heated the place. Heat would only come on at certain times of the day and was based on the outside temp.
Hey!! What made you choose Daejeon? I want to teach English in Korea someday and want to get more comfortable considering other cities outside of Seoul and Busan. Curious about how you chose Daejeon (or maybe Daejeon chose you?) hehe :)
I actually did choose Daejeon! I chose Daejeon because it has Daejeon Station which makes traveling super easy, the cost of living is great, and the pay was better. Being in Daejeon forced me to immerse myself more into Korean culture; in Seoul, you can easily slip into a pattern of only speaking English and only having foreigner friends. I’ll post more here soon! Let me know if you have any more questions; like and subscribe ☺️
Thank you! I WISH I could tell you what that tree is! It was a free plant gifted to me from a previous expat living in Korea. Apparently it's been passed down from new expat to new expat for 4 years now at least!
Your place is absolutely gorgeous! I'm a prospective EPIK teacher who just got placed in Daejeon! Do you mind me asking how you find Daejeon and if there's anything you feel is missing in the city? I'm from Toronto and strive in bigger cities so I just want to make sure I'm making the most informed decision before committing to spending a few grand + a year of my life in Korea! This apartment looks perfect but I'm sure this is one of the better EPIK apartments! Thank you in advance!!!
Hey Ryan! So I worked at a hagwon, which is a private after school academy, and they provided my housing for me. EPIK should also provide your housing. I actually loved being in Daejeon and I basically traveled around the country. It's affordable and livable and it's actually much easier to travel to other cities from Daejeon then from Seoul or Busan for example since it has a central location and is not NEARLY as congested traffic wise. There are countless cafes, pubs, shops, restaurants and hiking spots. The people are also super friendly once you put in some effort to connect with the culture. I could not recommend this city more!
Hi! I was looking through videos and saw your comment, I also just got placed in Daejeon for the February intake. If you need any more buddies for this coming year, let me know, it would be nice to have a familiar face lol!
Hello!! May I ask you about the app you use to look for the apartment or how did you rent the apartment ? ^^ because I am interested to move to daejeon too!
LOL! I noticed many of my other friends in said building did not have this feature either. We probably crossed paths! How cool! I no longer live there sadly :(
Hey sorry I was checking the real estate app! Haha so my apartment was paid for by my school so I cannot confirm the amount for the key deposit but based on an estimate from the popular real estate app Jigbang (직방) the key money could range from $3,000-$5,000 USD. You get this money back at the end of your stay though. Hope this helped!
HAHA Yes, the white fridge! Since the apartment was used for such a short amount of time and I did not actually pay the rent, the fridge did not bother me :)
hello, its kinda silly but i'm afraid of living alone because i'm afraid of insects specially cockroaches😅 have you ever dealed with it in your appartment?
Not silly at all! I have the same paranoia with mice; I find them super gross. I have quite literally NEVER had a pest control issue of any kind. My landlord hired someone to actually come through and spray our apartments monthly (not a lot, just a little!)
Comments are best! I love for others to get the chance to read your questions and my responses :) You should absolutely teach english abroad! It's an amazing experience.
Thank you for making this video! So good. I'm moving to Daejeon next year and this is very helpful! May I ask you if you found this place through one of the apps or with a realtor?🤍
I'm so glad you liked it! Your hagwon will generally find a place FOR you unless you request to find your own. They cover my rent, I pay for utilities!
This is one of my favorite Korean apartment tours and I've pretty much watched them all. I love how you decorated
Thank you soooo much Carter I really appreciate that!
I love that I came across your video, I'll be moving to daejeon next year and I was after some videos of apartments, please keep posting!
Thanks so much Carine! I’m a bit busy with teacher work lately and this channel is just a hobby, but I will definitely post more! Stay tuned 😃

I was planning to move Daejon and searched so many room tour videos! And i found this! Such a great video I've ever seen! 💕
we can talk about this? I'm planning to move Daejeon.
3:50: I think that's an image of Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and not Dubai.
Thanks for the heads up!
@@strawberrynomad y r u not uploading videos..u r good make it regularly.. 👍🏼

I love the apartment tour it is soooooooooooooooooooo beautiful
Shower plant is a genius idea ahaha! Great video!
Thanks! :)

I think this is downstairs from where I live now 😂 the view from the window gave it away for me. Are you in Dunsan?
For $350 this ain't that bad like there's some other apartments that are way smaller than this and is like around $500-$800

Love your apartment! I especially love your living room tree/plant. What is it?
Thank you! I WISH I could tell you what that tree is! It was a free plant gifted to me from a previous expat living in Korea. Apparently it's been passed down from new expat to new expat for 4 years now at least!

so CUTE and such a well done video. love u!
Thank you
Wow look at that house! Looks so clean…🤩
🧼🧹🧺
Oh there are dryers in Korea, you living in what is called "peasant apartment". I have lived in Korea for 8yrs (vacation home) and have a dryer.
Oh this is so good to know! Thanks for the info :)
Hi thank you for sharing this...how much do you pay for this house?
Hello!! May I ask you about the app you use to look for the apartment or how did you rent the apartment ? ^^ because I am interested to move to daejeon too!
My hagwon found my apartment on my behalf, but you can use the Zigbang app to help your search! It is in Korean but just use your translator!
Really nice video...love u crib.... can't wait for more contents frm u 😁
Thank you! ☺️☺️
We live in the same officetel building😂 I'm jealous that you have sliding doors to separate your bedroom from your living room ㅠㅠ
LOL! I noticed many of my other friends in said building did not have this feature either. We probably crossed paths! How cool! I no longer live there sadly :(
This is one of the nice apartment 😌
Thanks Alice!
Wow, HOW do you keep it so clean and tidy :)
I'm a neat freak! Haha
How much should one expect to put down as a down payment for an apartment like that? thanks
😂 you didn’t give an answer. Just a like.

Not the white refrigerator 😭

@@strawberrynomad Amazing! Is this the apartment EPIK provided for you?
@@leprincessuu The apartment was provided by my private after school academy (hagwon) that I worked for, so I was not a part of EPIK :)

@@strawberrynomad ooh okay thanks!
I love your video! Would you mind if i sent messages to you about your experience abroad? I m very interested in teaching abroad too!
Comments are best! I love for others to get the chance to read your questions and my responses :) You should absolutely teach english abroad! It's an amazing experience.
Thank you so much @alittlejac! I hope you keep making this series! I look forward to your videos 🤩
Are you give 350$ monthly pls pls pls plz plz plz tell me ?????
That's the estimated rent for the building I was in; I actually paid only utilities, so no rent payments for me!
My problems are gone
No remedy for life's problems like an apartment tour!
Thank you for making this video! So good. I'm moving to Daejeon next year and this is very helpful!
May I ask you if you found this place through one of the apps or with a realtor?🤍
I'm so glad you liked it! Your hagwon will generally find a place FOR you unless you request to find your own. They cover my rent, I pay for utilities!
