Working Holiday Korea 2025: How Much I Spent | Cost of Living, Rent & Foreigner Life Q&A
Thinking about a Working Holiday in Korea in 2025?
In this video I break down exactly how much I spent, what the cost of living in Korea looks like, how much to budget before moving, and what it’s really like to live in Korea as a foreigner.
I sat down with my friend Sarah for a full Q&A while exploring Chuncheon (yes, including cable cars, dakgalbi, and ghost buses 😅). We talk honestly about our experiences with jobs, housing, rent, culture shock, visas, and everything we wish we knew before coming to Korea.
Whether you're preparing your Working Holiday Korea 2025 plan, looking for real foreigner experiences, or just curious how much money you need to save — this video breaks it all down.
