Reading the experience from Joia I got impressed totally. Though this is my new experience but it is surely a good read and contains a great educative value.

As Cha said, you can find me on Facebook - Joia Starks - and I have an old blog from my teaching days, too. It's called The Seoul of Black Folks. I haven't updated it much since being in Barbados, but it chronicles my teaching adventures :) <br /><br />Hope everyone is well!!<br /><br />JJoiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02825935231079360520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553573712479659356.post-19745478141604372892013-01-30T07:51:38.636-06:002013-01-30T07:51:38.636-06:00Your hair is amazing :D

I attended both undergraduate and graduate school here and seoul and. majored in international cooperation. <br /><br />Can I have more information about this diplomat party that you mentioned? I should definitely check it out.<br /><br /> Also as a diplomat can you choose your country of choice? Since I speak Korean the obvious choice would be to work in Seoul. <br /><br />Also did you happen to take the FSO exam in Korea?<br /><br />Thanks!Daniel Leehttp://facebook.com/fenderdan82noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553573712479659356.post-34739361763001042272012-08-12T13:02:43.077-05:002012-08-12T13:02:43.077-05:00Not a problem and you can contact Joia at https://...Not a problem and you can contact Joia at https://www.facebook.com/joia.starks, she is a very approachable young lady.chajoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719378948912945963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553573712479659356.post-75270949874167916902012-08-11T19:27:34.039-05:002012-08-11T19:27:34.039-05:00Hi Cha,

I think your blog is a great resource! And yes, I realized after posting that Joia Starks was the subject of the interview... my mistake. May I ask if you're able to put me in touch with Joia?<br /><br />Thanks again!<br />JohnnyJohnnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553573712479659356.post-55418187650969968142012-08-05T14:19:12.878-05:002012-08-05T14:19:12.878-05:00Thanks Johnny for reading the blog!

Joia was the one I interviewed and yes she did go from ESL teacher to FSO and I am sure that you and your wife can do the same. I think that there are many options out there and the journey can take you anywhere, but I think you should do your research to see what will be your best fit for you. Teaching can open the door to many different things and help you save while you think about what you want to do, so don't rule it go. But as you can see you can do both. Again, thanks for reading and we hope that you continue to stop by and find more information that will help you in the future. <br /><br />Good traveling,<br /><br />Chachajoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719378948912945963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553573712479659356.post-88789751545118808192012-08-04T01:01:30.149-05:002012-08-04T01:01:30.149-05:00Hi Cha,

My wife and I are at the point in our lives where we want change...we want to do things that matter and fill our lives with new experiences. We feel we can accomplish both by living abroad and either teaching english as a foreign language or working as foreign service officer...at the moment, I'm leaning towards the latter...and then I came across your story where you did both! <br /><br />Even though I'd prefer to be an FSO, I'm still planning to get my TEFL certification, since it'd be good to have anyway, perhaps as a back up... may I ask if you have any thoughts or advice to share about both TEFL and FSO?<br /><br />Thank you!Johnnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553573712479659356.post-79840310672753888912012-07-17T15:00:47.823-05:002012-07-17T15:00:47.823-05:00What a great story!

I'm only in the beginning stages of becoming a Foreign Service Officer (I passed the exam & am now waiting to see if I am invited to DC for the Oral assessment), but I actually think I met that black FSO when I was living in Seoul, Korea.
