Hi, I’m Melissa! 🌏I’m an expat living in Seoul, South Korea for over four years. My journey started with a semester abroad during my Master’s Degree in International Tourism, and I never looked back. Korea’s vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and endless hidden gems have captured my heart, and now I’m here to help you explore it like a local!
Why trust me with your Korean adventure?
- With a Master’s in International Tourism, I’ve honed my skills in itinerary planning and destination research.
- I’ve spent years exploring Korea’s cities, islands, restaurants, cafes, and festivals, uncovering insider tips you won’t find in standard guides.
- My travel style is all about immersion—whether it’s trying local street food, wandering through random subway stops, or discovering hidden alleys full of surprises.
What sets my guides apart? Each guide includes:
- Personal notes and recommendations based on firsthand experience.
- Interactive maps for seamless navigation.
- Essential details like opening times, directions, fares, and even Naver Map links to make traveling in Korea a breeze (since Google Maps isn’t reliable here).
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning to discover more, my guides are crafted to give you an authentic and stress-free experience. Let’s explore Korea together and create unforgettable memories! 🌍🗼️
