- Hello Beautiful people 😊 ,
It has been forever since I posted a video but I promise it will make sense over time.
This video is about the five and a half years I have spent in South Korea. In it, I break down my reasons for staying.
// ABOUT //
I am Nolusindiso Hleko, a South African based in South Korea for the past five years.
I like post videos about topics that inspire me.

I am glad you are happier with your life. :) It's okay not to have plans, just enjoy your time and whenever (if ever) you feel ready, then you go with an easy heart.
I'm glad you stayed. I've been in Korea for 4 years and I planned to only stay 3 😂 but I'm addicted to kpop concerts and traveling here. I don't think I'll stay forever, but I'll be here a while. Glad I found your channel 😊
I’m glad you’re figuring it out on your own.
I'm glad that even in the end, you took your own advice, regardless of what others said.
It's always better to regret your own decisions than to regret decisions you made based what other people say you should do
You are an amazing story teller, you have inspired me to take the plunge. So happy you listened to your inner voice..
I'm really glad I found your account. I have been watching videos of people teaching in Korea for a couple of weeks, but I think you're the first person who is so similar to me - down to going back to school as a means to figure things out and not settle for just anything in life. I'm so happy to subscribe, thank you for making videos 🙏🏾
It would be very cool to hear more from you, about living in Korea! It's one thing to read about the country, and totally other to actually hear personal experience and how it "feels" to live in a country from another person. Really interesting stuff, thanks!
You were missed in these streets. Your voice just has something special, I wish you could do a monologue or poetry. Can't wait for the updates on your experiences
You have a really great way of developing your content and speaking, hope you continue to grow on CZcams
So happy you listened to your heart somehow things always work out when one does that.♥
Indeed, things always work out how they are meant to
Hahahahahha stay another 2/3 years- once I arrive I just found your channel and I love everything about your aura/energy and you're already my friend in my head. I did the same thing, saved up and went back to Uni to do another degree and by God's grace I am managing- It wasn't an easy decision because I felt the same way but we keep moving, sometimes we act like we're supposed to know it all or have it all figured out when we are all experiencing this life thing for the first time and we might not always get it right but its meant for living and learning from our mistakes
I love that you made the decision for yourself .
Nolu,please understand that i need to go and study for my test.I have been hooked to your channel from 11pm,it's 9am now😂😂Your voice is so soothing,I have watched 12/26 videos of you❤❤
you look like naomi Campbell with this hair style, beautiful as always
I love the way you shoot your videos! You are so beautiful and smart!
It’s been so amazing to see your life’s adventure in the last 5 years ♥️
Thank you for always cheering me on 😊
@withjustnolu was your tall man a Korean. I am such a kdram fan and I dream of landing this cute tall great Korean guy please give me hope is it possible as a black woman
Geez nearly the same story. I've also been here 5.5 years and got so dang comfortable that I also lost aim and direction. Heading back home soon to clear my head and get some direction again
I see a lot of expats falling into this trap where they get too comfy teaching English then suddenly realize it's been half a decade and they're basically directionless. They can't change careers in East Asia but going back home means starting from zero, far behind their peers. It's fascinating to see the same situation replicated over and over again.
I love listening to your voice and you have a great way of storytelling!

Interesting video. A more positive video this time. Great. I enjoy your videos. 😊😊
I’m going to Seoul from USA next month for vacation. I like your videos. Maybe we should meet up for dinner!!?? I will pay .😊❤
Hi Nolu, I just stumbled upon your video while trying to drown my sorrows with CZcams. I'm 27 and doing my final year of Diploma in Electrical Engineering, I feel down and I feel like I'm way too old to only be finishing my first qualification which is a Diploma.
I think after coming across your channel I'll look into teaching English in Korea next year. Unless maybe you think I should get NQF level 7 first? (Advanced Diploma which is BTech equivalent) before going?
My friends and I are planning a holiday there for September. Please share some tips and places to visit
Your face is so beatiful.
Life changing....wow
Im a new subscriber, I love u smmm!!!!!! Love how you speak and I completely understand on not having a plan- I am completely stuck, I want to go abroad in Korea and live there however I’m not sure if I want to leave my bf and break up):
Hai Nolu I love you girl u are brave and beautiful, what is the best cities to choose from if you are new
Lovely and honest video ❤
Love your videos ❤
🇿🇦Nolu🇿🇦
But i think you haven't left communications. You're still in it. Worse now You're broadcasting... Just think these videos were great..background sounds amazing. Could listen all day long
Hey I'm from south and I want to go to south Korea, which agency you used to go to Korea please help
Lovely vlog.
Quick one is it normally for South African expats to only want to live and teach abroad for two years?.
I am thinking of relocating and Cannes careers but I want to do it for a longer term, atleast 15 years
Did you not ever have a bad experience that made you feel like packing your bags and leaving immediately? I’ve heard some stories about some hagwons.
I have had a lot, in fact I have a lot of videos sharing those experiences coming up! stay tuned!
@@Nolusindiso_Hleko Awesome Nolu. I can’t wait. Your content is super up there though 🔥🔥🔥 you are so creative and a good storyteller.
You finally got you a Korean man? Dam you determined.
😂 😂 😂 the fact that you assume the guy I mentioned is Korean is hilarious to me.
@@Nolusindiso_Hlekoyou seemed so desperate for one. I am glad if he is your own race.
@@Nolusindiso_Hleko hope it works out for you.
@@timetorise1 I literally went on a date with ONE korean guy and that makes me desperate for a Korean?
@@Nolusindiso_Hleko ys
And also have you been a hagwon teacher all along or when did you start ?
No! The first 3 were in a public school.
I have a weird question. I've read articles of young asians form Canada and the US that want to teach English in Asia, but they have a tough time being hired because in China for example, they feel it's better for "white people" to teach it even though these young adults were born and raised in North America. . Did you experience something similar as someone who's not white?
On another note, I'm also a digital nomad for the past 20 years and have lived in 3 countries. You learn a lot and it's a wonderful experience, but it's also not for everyone. The only paid in the butt really is having to renew my visa...so annoying. Other than that, I really need to get out more and learn the local language(s) better. How's your Korean? I'm currently in France for the past 4 years and this might be my last stop...unless I win billions in the lottery or something. 8-).
What you said about Asians is 💯 true! They will sometimes get paid less because they are asians regardless of their nationalities. My Korean is terrible, I am ashamed of it.
Hey mama I just love you could you please help me I am Swati please ask for me if I could get employment
Hiy
Hi beauty, where you from
I think this lady's stories and personal experiences are as genuine as her hair showing right now as in its not hers but some dead horse hair.
I feel like I’m at this point of my life here in Korea. I’ve been here for 4 months. It hasn’t been the greatest few months. But I feel like I have the exact same viewpoint- sort it out. Just do it. 🥹
I have to admit though, I still enjoy my time here. It’s so weird because everyone around me have been saying to either leave SK or leave my job, but I feel otherwise 🥹 also the money is great for a 22 year old graduate who is a breadwinner for their family🥹
