Female Expat's Journey from Korea to Chiang Mai | Interview

Today I'm hanging out with Fran, an expat from Korea who's travelled tons! She's lived in places like Israel and The Philippines before finding her perfect spot in Chiang Mai, Thailand. In this short interview, we chat about her adventures, what it's like to move around so much, and why she finally decided to settle down in Chiang Mai. Fran's story is super interesting.

    We still have 1 vlog to come with Fran, we'll be looking at some amazing (AND VERY CHEAP) studio rooms that Fran has for sale and rent. So keep your eyes peeled for that vlog coming. You can also watch the first vlog we done here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/d32bxrSChMrYdbg.html

    Hi Fran! Thank you for visiting with us and sharing some life experiences and insights. My brother's wife and her family are from Korean and they share a similar admiration of Israel. My brother's sister-in law married a guy from Israel who works in High-tech and she has remarked about the similarities between Korean and Jewish Cultures. Good of Fran to interview you Wayne. Thank you both and hope we can join you again.

    Absolutely brilliant interview, Wayne, with Fran. Listening to different stories and perspectives from other farang who call Chiangmai home, it's refreshing and educational. Thanks both. Oh' and you're right Fran; it's who you're with and the connections you make that matters.

    Hello Wayne & Fran! She's very well-traveled and has led quite an independent interesting life. Leaves herself open to all possibilities; not afraid to tackle new adventures. An intelligent, put together "knows what she wants" woman! Today's media is very slanted and biased and not above "lying" or "gaslighting" the public. Objectivity is not in their wheelhouse, as most of today's media personalities are not true journalists. I made these comments before Fran stated the obvious on her opinion of the media. Enjoyable and interesting video! Best wishes to the both of you. As always stay safe too.

    If I met a Korean who was raised in the Philippines but spent 30 years in Israel then moved to Thailand, the first question I would ask is: how many languages do you speak? Very interesting lady!
