I'm Levi, I'm 16. I work almost everyday. I'm trying to save up because I want to travel Asia, to learn more martial arts.
I have a black belt in tkd.

Meaning nice to meet you and please treat me favorably.

You don't need to travel to learn more. I would continue training, read books and if you want apprentice as an instructor. You really learn alot more when you teach because then you know how much you don't know.

Two Korean stylists speaking Japanese to one another. What a crazy world we live in!

My advice is to get a college degree and go to Asia and teach English. I spent about five years in the region doing that (Singapore and Japan, mostly, with a lot of time in Thailand, Korea, and Malaysia). You make decent money, learn about interesting cultures and languages, and if you're lucky, you can train with some amazing people. If you don't have a degree, it's still possible to work, but it can be a little tricky to get a proper visa.

Thanks/ I was actually thinking about doing that. I am currently learning how to speak Japanese and Korean. I'm 16 right now. SO by the time I get through high school and college I should be fluent.
I should also be at least a 4th dan black belt in TKD by then.

You probably won't be any kind of 'fluent' until you've spent some time in the environment of the language(s) you are hoping to learn.
