The Foreigner Who Keeps Coming Back
Travel has always been my escape from the rat race — and honestly, I enjoy the planning almost as much as being there. Researching destinations, mapping routes, finding that perfect neighbourhood restaurant. Korea first came up through a friend who'd been living in Seoul and told me I needed to come see it for myself.
I'd barely traveled internationally. In 2006, I landed in Seoul for the first time — the subway was a revelation and the food was unlike anything I'd ever eaten — and the Korea obsession began in earnest.
I went back, and kept going back. Over the years I've worked my way through Seoul, Busan, Gyeongju, Jeju, the Andong hanok villages, Jeonju's bibimbap alleys, and the East Sea coast — chasing the food, the history, and the cities that never seem to slow down.
I'm not a travel blogger. I have a regular tech day job. But Korea keeps pulling me back, and I finally decided to put everything I've learned into something useful — a site with real local knowledge, honest prices, video content from the places we've actually been, and an AI trip planner that builds itineraries from our years of experience.
It's the resource I wish had existed when I booked that first Seoul flight in 2006.
