[@nikitasantamaria]

I love seeing foreigners being able to thrive in other countries! Your coworker is so cute, i love that you're respectful of them wanting to be on camera or not :)

[@RadioGirLF]

Yay, I learned so much from this video! I really enjoy seeing how real worklife in Korea actually works.

[@NataliaGarza]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video~!! I like sharing what I can about working here~

[@lipo9927]

I love these type of videos. They really help me a lot in understanding what "adult" life in Korea is really like. Although I am not too sure of I want to work in Korea later on since the working culture seems so intense. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us!

[@NataliaGarza]

Ahhhh yes, I know what you mean~ A lot of Korea content is from students, which is great because most people come as students. But if you're wanting to work here, there isn't much content from people who aren't teachers ㅠㅠ As for the apartment tour/ apartment hunting video, I don't have one~ I'm hoping to film that type of content when I move out of my current apartment because I don't feel comfortable sharing my home online in that way while I still live in it~ It's a peace of mind thing... You may have already seen them, but there are a lot of videos talking about how to find an apartment here in Korea~ If you haven't seen them yet, I think you'll find them helpful~!

[@tayaaliz4088]

2:25 I really like how you are implementing little quick translations of the Korean you are using in your videos now! It’s so helpful and an ease of learning device. Good job!

[@tayaaliz4088]

(Also sorry if you have already been doing this for a good amount of time! Just want to share how much I enjoy it)

[@NataliaGarza]

No no~~ Thank you for mentioning that you like them~! I used to do them when I first moved here, but then stopped because they took time and language school was killing me haha I'm glad to know you find them helpful~

[@alexhika]

I loved this video! I was born and raised in one county but only worked in a different one (born in Italy, moved to the UK from university on) so I live in this limbo where I am "culturally" Italian but the only working culture I know is British. And they can be so different lol I love hearing about different work environments around the world ❤

[@NataliaGarza]

It's definitely a fun topic of discussion~!

[@AmandaPace85]

Wow Natalia I love this video!! as someone who's been following you for quite some time I'm so in awe of all the things you're achieved so far and I cannot wait to see you continue growing. I'm genuinely so happy for you!! I also found so interesting working culture differences with my home country (I'm from Spain) so thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[@NataliaGarza]

I'm sooooo awkward when it comes to emotions and words of encouragement 😅😅 But thank you for all of your support~ Omg I love learning about cultural differences as well~ Especially ones related to work culture~ I don't know why, but it's so interesting to learn what's considered normal in other parts of the world~

[@mollyapteros]

Love the dynamic with your co-worker. The people you work with really make or break a job so I'm happy you seem to have ended up with some good people. 🥰

[@NataliaGarza]

Yessssss I love my coworkers~~ I'm so thankful that I joined a company where my coworkers and I have strong "friend vibes" ❤ I was really nervous about what kind of coworkers I'd have back before I actually started working~

[@haejeegwon9774]

Most people refer to long working hours, overtime working, and stress when talking about Korean work culture. It's changing a lot, but honestly, it's still some true. bcz Basically, Korea has only human resources. Light and darkness coexist in everything in this country. Of course, there is a lot to think about in terms of labor productivity. But there are still times when this world risks darkness for light. Yeap. Take care 😊

[@NataliaGarza]

Ahhhh yes~ I didn't bring those things up because I thankfully don't experience them at my company~ I've only ever had to work overtime three times over the past 8 months and never for longer than an extra hour~

[@SomedayKorean]

Hahaha I can't even imagine using my kitchen that little... as a fellow 집순이 I mostly eat at home, and it's mostly super basic one-pan meals like 김치볶음밥. Actually, home-making it is not that much different than what you did for the frozen one... just throwing some ingredients into a pan and stirring it! I'd be down to watch your first adventures cooking it 😆

[@tranquilbakergentletraveller]

Yes, please, to the shopping and grocery haul video!!

[@NataliaGarza]

Hopefully I will film one soon!!!!

[@Jenny-f9g]

I didn’t know rice was packaged like that, I thought it was ramen at first. I’m glad you are not too stressed Natalia!! And yea I have a feeling Korean culture on collectivism contribute to the difference in work culture in contrast to America

[@LUMI_MBB_STAY]

Ahhhh so jelly of the Skz photo cards!! This was so cool to see thank you for taking us along on some of your days!

[@literarilylaura8144]

I'm looking forward to the working in Korea mini series 😊 love your videos Natalia!

[@NataliaGarza]

Haha I look forward to sharing more about working life here~~ ❤️

[@haesal27]

Yes!!! I would love a grocery haul/cooking video! I'm in Korea right now and it's day 4 of Language school tomorrow! We have an activity every Thursday so tomorrow after class we are going to Namsan tower! It will be my first time seeing it:)

[@김민재-b4s1n]

김치gimbap and 김치fried rice. Such a 김치 girl~ btw, good to see you 유정님^^

[@NataliaGarza]

ㅁㅊㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@jasminewilliams1673]

Please do a grocery/food haul and explain what foods are. When I shop here in Korea for my family of 4….sigh. I don’t know what anything is still!

[@bearcr242]

와~ 나탈리아 가끔씩 보고 좋아요만 눌렀는데 디시와서 본 나탈리아는 너무 멋지게 변해 있네요~~!!^^ 한국어 공부하던 학생에서 한국회사에 다니는 멋진 직장인이라니 너무 멋집니다~!!!!^^ 난 언제쯤 영어를 잘해서 나탈리아 말을 쉽게 알아들을까요 ㅎㅎ 직장생활 잘 하시고 지치지 말고 항상 행복하고 즐거운 한국생활이 되기를 기원합니다!!!^^

[@Godbepraise]

Loved this video~ and yes completely down for a grocery vlog/haul!!

[@NataliaGarza]

Hopefully I can do the grocery haul soon~!!

[@yonitasingh]

Grocery haul, let's go!

[@NataliaGarza]

🍎🍐🍞🥓🥑🥞🥒🫐🥖🍓🥪

[@katherinearthur]

I'm up for both the work series and the grocery haul 😊😂

[@JohnCiaccio]

Congrats on your success! Your living my dream! 😊

[@cz5981]

this is so interesting! thank you for sharing

[@cz5981]

i'd love a grocery haul!!

[@AmIReally_Here]

0:07 Nataliaaaa are u a STAY? 😭💕💕💕💕

[@visaport_for_you]

Realistic and honest 👍

[@thinhnguyenphuoc2114]

Love your vibe throughout the video, can you rcm any website or channel where to see learn about marketing in Korean

[@magicineverydaylife]

I love vlogs like this 🥰🥰🥰

[@NataliaGarza]

I'm glad you liked it~ 🤍

[@amandar3467]

Fascinating! How did you choose your "Korean name"?

[@NataliaGarza]

My Korean name is based off the Chinese name my Mandarin teacher gave me back when I was in high school! Before I came to Korea as an exchange student, one of my Korean friends told me I NEEDED a Korean name. So he took the Chinese characters and then gave me a few different variations of Korean names that included at least one of those hanja~

[@maquilleMOI]

Love this vlog.

[@NataliaGarza]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🤍

[@karlamercedesespinozamite8782]

Can u recommend books to study marketing? I love Ur blogs!!!!

[@Slaykidshoo]

Wait you’re a stay actually???? Omg that reason makes me love you even more 🩷

[@JoleenBardowell]

Than you for sharing I really love your videos 🫶🏽✨

[@user-ik1qj8ni4o]

*I just watched a dance cover by Maverick of New Jeans “Cool With You” and I swearrrr I THOUGHT THE GIRL IN THE BEGINNING WAS YOU LOL. U should take a dance class and vlog it though. That would be fun 😆*

[@NataliaGarza]

OMG I SEE IT~!!! AHAHAHA

[@aunggebi]

Just one minor correction. It's called "차장님". Thank you for the video.😀

[@NataliaGarza]

Thank you~~

[@user-ik1qj8ni4o]

*how did you get ur korean name though? Like.. who names you lol. Do you get to pick it urself? Or is there like a match up to natalia- like to each name in English I mean?* *it was super interesting listening to ur work stuff 😄*

[@paulwalther5237]

You look great 😊

[@janelle.loves.languages]

That is such an odd mix of relaxed (dress code) and strict (lunch time). I thought it would be more like Japanese work culture for some reason but nope.

[@NataliaGarza]

Indeed! It's interesting what my company is/isn't willing to be flexible on haha

[@sarahbryan7125]

What keywords would you suggest to find jobs in Korea? Hopefully that apply regardless of occupation

[@ashley_smith]

I don't understand people having so much caffeine. I have two cups of tea during my waking hours, totaling 140mg caffeine. I don't go beyond that to avoid having a headache. I see other people down cup after cup after cup, and no protein to help them stay awake. All it seems to do is cause a lot of bathroom breaks....

[@andy5251]

Caffeine has no effect on me and I wish it did because when you shut the mid-afternoon slump in work it can really help😂

[@quangnguyenduc8862]

Could you pls tell me what are some requirements for this job. Because i gonna apply marketing job next year in Korea ㅇㅅㅇ

[@halameri6697]

Cooking show..가자!

[@NataliaGarza]

LOL look at my oil and rice mixing skills 😂

[@gabciafangirl7691]

OMG SKZ

[@madisontadros]

I'm even more curious as to what company she (you) work(s) for now lol

[@maquilleMOI]

How many hours do koreans work for daily. Is there a good work life balance?

[@NataliaGarza]

Mmmmm I can't really say. I can only speak to my experience at my company... That said, I rarely work overtime

[@thewildaly]

are you a STAY?

[@NataliaGarza]

Mmmm I wouldn't necessarily call myself a STAY, but I've definitely started listening to more of their music recently~
