Callie Anderson is moving back to the US after 12 years in Korea, following a 2.5-year green card process for her husband. She packed up her Busan apartment with help from her in-laws, said goodbye to close friends like Daho, and is now living with her father while planning an Alaskan cruise to film.
I have big news to share. I'm back in the US, and this time it's a bit more long-term. After a long 2 and a half year process, my husband finally got his American green card. Woo! It's a bit bittersweet because I'm very excited I'm excited to be back in my home country and to see my family, but I was also very sad leaving Korea. I love Korea and I'm going to miss it very much, but it makes me feel better knowing that I'll visit very often. So don't worry, I'll be back soon. The week before coming to the US was extremely busy. I participated in a children's education convention at CoEx. It was my first time ever doing something like that and it was an incredible experience. It was hard work and took a lot of preparation, but I learned a lot and the best part was I got to meet a lot of you. I was so touched because a lot of you traveled from far away to meet us. Some of you even brought gifts and I'm just so grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Something that really inspired me was how diverse our subscribers are. I met a 70-year-old woman, a high school boy, and a bunch of young kids that are watching my videos and using my materials to study. It was truly amazing and you all just inspire me so much. After the convention, we traveled back to Busan and had to move out of our apartment. It was really exhausting because we only had like 2 days to pack. We had to sell and get rid of a bunch of stuff And pack 10 years of our lives into 6 suitcases. It was not easy. A few days before our flight, we stayed with my in-laws. They helped us out a lot. So Mom and Dad, if you're watching this, thank you so much. You saved us. We finished up a lot of last-minute errands at their house, ate a lot of delicious Homemade Korean food and just spent some good quality time together. We even got to celebrate the cameraman's birthday together. We went out for dinner with the whole family, had birthday cake, and watched 2 movies in one day. We watched The Odyssey and the new Spider-Man movie. Both of the movies were really good. So I recommend watching either of them. Actually, my last few days in Korea were a little bit emotional for me. I first went to Korea in 2015 and didn't expect to stay there as long as I did. Over the years, I met so many incredible people and made lots of happy memories. I feel so lucky because I traveled to a lot of different cities all over the country. I traveled to Busan, Jeju, Jeonju, Chuncheon, Ganghwa-do, and I even made it to Ullong-do. That was a very special experience and something I'll never forget. I grew a lot as a person throughout my years in Korea and The people there impacted me the most. I met some of my closest friends ever while living in Korea. I even cried on the phone at the airport while talking to my friend Daho. She called to say goodbye and I just lost it. Korea is such a beautiful country and will always have a special place In my heart, nomu nomu kamsahamnida saranghaeyo. I'm currently at my dad's house. I'm going to be his roommate for the next few months until I get settled here in the US. I talked him into making more content with me, so keep an eye out for our upcoming videos together. Also, tomorrow I leave. for a very exciting adventure. I'm going on an Alaskan cruise with 12 other family members. It's gonna be a little bit chaotic, but it's gonna be a blast, and I'll be filming the whole time, so stay tuned. Until then, I'm going to just try to get over this jet lag. I hope you're all doing well, staying cool, and enjoying summer. I'll see you next time. Bye! Bye!
