South Korea as a Potential Expat Haven 
by Mike Sluchinski

excerpt: “Compared to other destinations around the world, South Korea has been overlooked as a destination for those looking for alternatives to life in North America. Most expatriates know about Japan, Thailand, and the Philippines—but few have made an effort to settle in South Korea.

The language also scares people who are thinking of moving abroad. Additionally, the climate includes snow—which is a turnoff to some.

Koreans love their country and have traditionally frowned upon ‘foreigners’ influencing their nation.”
