I visited South Korea for the first time while working as a digital nomad.

I'm staying at Local Stitch, a co-working and co-living service, and what's fascinating is that Wi-Fi is available everywhere in the city...

I'm lucky to be here...
I actually had no expectations of Korea. Since there were not many colleagues who visited Korea by remote work, it was difficult to obtain information, but thanks to a colleague I met while working in Japan, I was able to continue my digital nomad at the local stitch school.
I'm going to work at the local stitch sharing office again today. Although Korea is unfamiliar to me, there are many digital nomads and many multinational people here, so I can easily become friends. It was not easy to feel this way wherever I went, but it was better than my work experience in Bangkok and Japan.
I should have come to Korea through Bangkok and then go to Japan. I feel like I wasted my movement for no reason?

Thanks for sharing your digital nomad experience in South Korea! I love Korean food. How do the living/travel costs compare with Japan?

What do you recommend for accommodation?

It seems to be almost no different from Japan now... Coriving's monthly rent is about $800, and this includes co-working, lounge costs. For the accommodation, I recommend the local stitch where I'm staying. About half of the locals and digital nomads are mixed to form an unusual community.

A spacious and pleasant environment! And a cute dog sitting next to my office!

I guess the local stitch can be checked in with a dog...

It seems like it was not possible in previous shared offices, but it seems to be a service that is actually needed in this day and age.

The contract was extended immediately before the end of the previous contract period.

Most people here are bright and kind. The weather is sunny and it is well lit, so it is suitable for work. Rather, it's a problem that sometimes you feel relaxed with such a beautiful space and relaxed environment!
