No More SeoulSteves

I figured it was about time for me to come make it official, if you haven’t guessed already, that SeoulSteves is now defunct.

At the time we started, we were filling a much-needed gap in the world of expat blogs, but as more and more blogs, magazines, etc, came on the scene (a very good thing overall, in our opinion. No grudges!), and we got distracted by other projects ourselves, it was harder and harder to keep SeoulSteves alive with competitive content. We had a lot of fun running SeoulSteves, we met people from all walks of life, and made friends and connections that have paved the way to ventures we find ourselves exploring right now. We don’t regret any of it, but we made the conscious decision that it was time to let SeoulSteves go.

The site itself and the information contained within is still live and viewable… for now. But it will not be updated. The Steves are still great friends and continue to work together on other ventures. You can support us by:
Playing a game of Golden tee
Eating the best burrito in Seoul.
Getting your TESOL certificate
Checking out Skinny’s personal blog (where he still sometimes posts tips and resources for expats), or follow him on Twitter
If you’re American, please remember that you’re still a citizen of one of the few countries that allows those abroad to take part in the political process, so do it.

For our parting words, we’d just like to tell everyone that Korea can be a great place to call home, if even for a short time. The most important thing to determining your experience in Korea is how much of your own heart and soul you put into having a great time and living life to it’s fullest. Life is too short to be pessimistic.
