Hey beautiful friends & enemies~
A few days ago, one of my teachers from my english high school teacher messaged me asking how I was doing and how my room looks. That message got me thinking and inspired me to share it with all of you!
So, the deal is that I actually booked a slightly bigger room, but I’m still waiting for the other student to move out before I can settle in. However, it looks like I’ll finally be able to move on Monday! Yey~~ I’m super excited to have more space.
I’m staying in a goshiwon (고시원) in Sinchon near Exit 6 which is only a 15 minute walk to university. Goshiwons are these super affordable, no-frills rooms often rented by students or people staying short-term. They’re small but functional, with a shared kitchen area. My current room is pretty tiny—around 5 square meters—but I’m making it work! It’s been a challenge with limited space, but it’s nice to have a temporary place while I wait for my bigger room.
A major plus about this goshiwon is that there’s no deposit (no need to worry about a huge upfront payment!), and it only costs about 450,000 won (550,000 for the bigger room) won per month. Which is expensive for a Lithuanian but still affordable for the location and convenience!
Can’t wait to show you my new space once I move! It’s going to be a whole new chapter for me here in Korea, and I’m excited to see how my little room transforms as I settle in. 🏠✨
Stay tuned! I’ll definitely share more once I’m all set up!
