Welcome to another episode of Passports To Perspectives, where we dive into the vibrant stories of those who’ve embraced new cultures and experiences. In our latest episode, we’re thrilled to introduce Tiffany Nguyen, a Vietnamese-American who’s found her calling in the heart of Korea. Join us as we embark on a journey with Tiffany, from her roots in Mississippi to her life-changing move to Korea. 

Discover how she pivoted from studying Exercise Science to teaching amidst the pandemic, and how she’s navigating the cultural landscape as an expat. We’ll explore Tiffany’s diverse living experiences, from cozy apartments to bustling hagwons, and hear her candid “hagwon horror stories.” Learn about the challenges and victories of adapting to a new country through her eyes. 

Get ready for a culinary adventure as Tiffany guides us through the delicious world of Korean cuisine.
