후기Finishing my working holiday year — things I'd tell myself on day one
ENEnglishWrapping up soon, so writing this while it's fresh. This is just my year, not advice — other people's will look different.
What I'd tell myself:
The first month is mostly admin and it feels like you're not doing the thing you came for. That's normal, it passes.
I moved cities halfway through and it was the best decision I made. If the first place isn't working, you're not stuck.
I spent too long waiting until my Korean was 'good enough' to join things. It never gets good enough. Going early would have given me more time with people.
I wish I'd written things down as I went. Half of what I figured out I've already forgotten.
