About

Simon and Martina

Who We Are:
We’re married and both certified Canadian teachers. We moved to South Korea to teach English as a second language. We love it here!

Our Website Goal:
Eatyourkimchi prepares you for living in Korea and loving it. We’ve been making movies since Day 1 of arriving in Korea in May 2008. Our goal is to document our everyday normal life in Korea and show others why we love Korea. For the people that aren’t in Korea yet, we want to prepare them for all that awaits. For those that are here, we hope to help them quickly adjust to life and culture in Korea.

What We Can Do:
Eat Your Kimchi has now over 16,000 followers in the social media sphere: YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Podcasts. Our numbers are growing every day! If you like our style, our audience, our Web 2.0 suaveness and want to work with us, head over to our Contact Page and send us a line.

About Martina

Martina Likes:
Manga, anime, K-dramas, J-Dramas, doodling, reading books, photography, fresh coffee, cute stickers, bizarre stuffed animals, all vampires, all forms of noodles, cold milk, all pies, all berries, colouring, movies that are so bad they’re good, umbrellas, listening to music, flip flops, tattoos, Simon, and Spudgy.

Martina Dislikes:
Smoking, sugar in coffee, Tiramisu, high heels, majority of cookies, the sound of unwrapping popsicles, getting her pant legs wet, people who bud in lines, knapsack sweat, and the following totally unsexy words: sack, puce, leotards, unitards, casserole, moist, crusty, and when people say they are “fleshing” out an idea.

About Simon

Simon Likes:
Marcel Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time,” playing or watching basketball, reading, writing, Ranch Dressing on everything, website development, HDR photography, naming his pets in unison (Muffins, Cookie, Cheesecake, and Pudding), Macs, unpopular music, dancing without shame, gourmet cooking, Strongbow Cider, Engrish, and being married.

Simon Dislikes:
Smoking, sweating (either his own or other people’s), gyms, most commercials, Christmas wreaths, socks, burning his tongue, the sound of wood pencils on paper, shopping (especially Walmart and Dollar stores), over cooked seafood, hippies (sorry), being hungry for more than 10 minutes, and starless nights.

About Spudgy

Spudgy Likes:
Martina, his “chom-chom” toy, licking your hands or face, eating gum (bad dog!), carrots, attention, walks through the park, being carried when he is tired, taking long and luxurious naps, spitting in your face when you least suspect it.
Spudgy Dislikes:
Being alone, being hot, fetching, complying, luggage (he thinks we’re leaving him), riding in cars (probably because of his car accident), plain bones, being washed and then having the air conditioner on, when you eat a sausage and don’t share it with him, the pen that you’re writing with right now.
