I moved to South Korea to save money for a year. When I returned to the US, I hated it and ran back to Asia.

• I moved from the US to South Korea to teach English and escape my poor financial situation.
• I loved Korea and found my money went further there than it did in many places I'd lived in the US.
• Later, I went back to the US for a year, hated it, and returned to Asia, where I hope to stay.

When I graduated from college in May 2009, I left with a Bachelor of Science in psychology, a spring in my step, and $60,000 in student loans.
