About Jackie Bolen

Hi, I’m a 35 year old Canadian who has been living the expat life in South Korea for the past 10 years, experiencing weird and wonderful things on an almost weekly basis. I’ve become thoroughly addicted to kimchi during my time here and can’t imagine a life without it.

I plan to return to Canada within the next year to go to school and study what I’m most interested in: finance. But, in the meantime, I’m working as a lecturer at a university teaching just about everything related to English. Some of my favorite classes to teach include: presentations and public speaking, academic writing, test preparation, interview preparation and business English. When I’m not in the classroom, you can often me on a mountain, surfing on my stand-up paddle-board, or biking for miles through the Korean countryside. And of course, I spend a lot of time online developing passive income streams.

Self-Published Author After getting so many questions on my blog and in-person related to how to get my job, I decided to write a book, How to Get a University Job in South Korea: The English Teaching Job of Your Dreams that contained all the information in one place.

Also check out my second book, The Wealthy English Teacher: Teach, Travel, and Secure Your Financial Future, which is all about personal finance for English teachers abroad.

Dividend Stock Investor Ever since I was in middle school, I’ve been interested in investing and the markets. Upon researching the various options for years, I decided that the best one for me was dividend stock investing. I love making decisions about how best to manage my portfolio and I hope to teach other people how to do this as well in the future.
