Just a small heads up — Korea is really dry.
Like… drier than you think.

When I first came, my throat felt scratchy all the time and I kept thinking I was getting sick. Turns out it was just the air. A lot of people get dry nose, random nosebleeds, chapped lips, or that annoying dry cough.

If you’re coming soon, a few things that honestly help:

Drink water even when you don’t feel thirsty.
A humidifier at night makes a huge difference.
Keep lip balm on you. Always.
Saline spray for your nose helps more than you’d expect.

It’s not serious, just uncomfortable — but it can really affect how you feel day to day.

Take care of yourself a little extra here. The dryness is real
