Radius App

For a lot of prospective international students, the top destinations are the only places they look when it’s time to pick where to study abroad. But there’s a whole world beyond the usual five.

Take Mark Mark Balneger, who ended up in South Korea by chance and calls it one of the best mistakes of his life because he didn’t plan any of it. Every country he picked was full, so his school offered Korea instead and he said yes on the spot. Ten years later, he’s still there and loving it.

In this episode of In My Radius, Paul sits down with Mark Balneger, who’s originally from the Netherlands, but now calls Korea’s home. Mark heads market development at Better OS, and he’s spent over ten years building a life in South Korea.

They talk about why the top five study abroad destinations aren’t the only path, especially for students from emerging markets, and why the smart move is to take the emotion out of the decision and look at the facts and options.

The conversation explores the real cost comparison between Korea and the big five, the honest challenges of settling in as a foreigner, how students can build employable skills, and how connecting with peers or alumni online is one of the best study abroad preparation strategies.

If you’re weighing study abroad options beyond the popular destinations, then this one’s for you.

If you’re one of the people that think lack of money is enough to stop your sturdy abroad dream, congratulations! 🥳
