👋 Hi, I’m Julia Lee!

I’m a Korean native who once worked as a journalist, covering stories that helped people better understand how society works.
Over the years, I met many foreign friends living in Korea — and I noticed something in common: they often struggled with practical issues like visas, phone plans, or finding housing.

As I helped them navigate these problems, I realized that most Korean blog posts about these topics were filled with advertisements rather than real, useful information.
At the same time, many foreigners found it difficult to access reliable English information through Google searches.

That’s when I thought —
“What if people who want to live in Korea, or are already here, could easily find trustworthy, first-hand information — even without a local friend’s help?”

And that’s how Korea with Julia was born.

Korea with Julia is a total guide for global friends who love Korea — whether you’re planning to move, already living here, or just curious about Korean culture.
From visa tips and housing guides to lifestyle advice, cultural insights, and local news — I aim to make every article genuinely useful.
This site is independently run and based on my personal experience and research.

I hope this blog helps you explore Korea with confidence and joy.
And if there’s a topic you’d love me to cover, don’t hesitate to reach out at [email protected].

Welcome to Korea with Julia — your friendly guide for life in Korea. 🇰🇷✨
