About LocalNomads
After graduating from college in New York, My partner and I decided to take off on a crazy adventure. We got jobs, had a yard sale, and moved to South Korea for a year of teaching English. After a year of trying new food, learning new customs, and developing relationships with hundreds of students, we decided to come home and explore our own country.

Rather than simply vacationing to all the places we’d love to see, we’ve taken the opportunity to dig in and really experience the culture of each new community.
