Welcome to Seoul, and congratulations on choosing this eclectic city as your new home. As you ease you way into South Korean life, you'll be comforted to know that with InterNations help is never far.

Relocating abroad is both exciting and daunting, but with InterNations you are not alone; you are part of a community!

Whether you are moving to another country or going on a business trip somewhere — our communities around the world are there to make you feel at home wherever you are.

Making a Life in Seoul

Your new life in Seoul will be a mixture of traditional and cosmopolitan, with a 2,000 year history in the past and multi-national growth in the future. There's no better time to relocate to South Korea's capital; the support center for foreigners has been established and helps to solve common problems, eases transition and offers Korean language classes. Moving forward, Seoul is gaining parks and recreational areas to ensure the city reflects the stunning beauty of the surrounding mountains. If you're planning to work in Seoul, one of the largest economies in Asia, there are a number of opportunities for expatriates as the country aims for greater integration within the global marketplace. The services, manufacturing and electronics industries are major employers, and, as a hotspot with travelers, you may also want to look towards the tourism industry. The food in Seoul reflects its nature as a city of old and new; traditional tastes dominate alongside international cuisine. You'll find Mexican food, American burgers and even Hawaiian food next to traditional tastes such as cooked pig trotters, noodle dishes, seafood and of course, barbecue. As you settle in to your new life you'll soon become accustomed to popular street-food, and know which specialties are served up in which districts.
