London Diaries | Making new friends as an international student, latest skincare events & cafe dates

#connecting #connectingapp #커넥팅 #lifeabroad #unilife

Hello everyone!
This week is a post exam vlog of the london uni diaries. I've been back from some summer trips in europe and its finally nice to be back in london! london truly is my second home and i was so looking forward to curling up in my comfy and cozy bed.

This video's central theme is socialising as an international student. I attended a korean skincare pop up in london and went cafe hopping.

But more importantly, being an international student can be lonely sometimes which is why i partnered with the team from Connecting to introduce you to the Connecting app - a social media platform that allows you to talk to people anonymously that is a great way to make new friends and connections1

Through this platform I managed to talk to a fellow Korean friend (Agnes) as well as a Malaysian friend (Joshua) *these are their nicknames in the app. We discussed about MBTI's, uni life, cultural differences living abroad and many more! I've learnt the differences between korean and london students, and got to learn more about their notoriously hard college entrance exam!

It's so surreal having my first sponsor so here I utter the words (that I have been saying in my bathrom pretending to be a youtuber): thank you to connecting for sponsoring this video!!!

With love,
Li Yen
