Dear Traveler, Nomad, Couple, Family, Solo Adventure Seeker, Beauty Lover, Kpop fan, Friend Group I am Sam, short for Samara. I have been a kindergarten teacher living the heart of Seoul who decided to venture off into the travel industry. As a female expat living in Seoul, South Korea for almost 6 years I have carefully and spontaneously curated an endless list travel tips, beauty go to places, shopping hidden gems, hotels, and experiences. If you're looking to: - plan your dream trip to South Korea - visit Jeju Island - See your favourite Idol live in concert - indulge in the Korean cuisine you drool over watching on youtube - want to take a traditional folklore painting class, pottery, jewellery making class and more - go on a hike and enjoy a well deserved drink at the top like the locals do - treat yourself to k-beauty at the best skin care clinic - the best dinner spots, karaoke bars, and clubs or quiet nights enjoying a picnic overlooking Han River - and more! I have got you covered! I have got all the answers, APPS, and recommendations you need to help you get the best out of one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. During our consultation call we will go into detail of all the possible options to put together the best package customised to your liking. Living in South Korea all these years, I still get the "pinch me" moments because there's really nothing like Seoul. A Monday night often feels like a Friday or Saturday night. The endless options to choose from can sometimes even overwhelm me, so I am here to help build you the best package that will allow you high quality experiences in your limited travel time. Let's get chatting and planning. Sincerely, Sam

ABOUT
Hi, I'm Samara. I have lived in Seoul, South Korea for almost 6 years now. With a genuine passion for travel deeply woven into the fabric of my personal and professional life, my love for exploring new cultures has been a driving force throughout my career as a Kindergarten Teacher. My extensive travels across Europe, East Asia, and the United States, coupled with my innate curiosity, have not only enriched my own experiences but have also equipped me with a unique set of cross-cultural communication skills. I am excited to fuse my love for travel and turn it into a career. I have curated a journal of everything travel and beauty in South Korea, from Seoul, Busan, to Jeju and beyond. I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, East Asia, and the United States, planning and booking each trip independently. As a solo traveler, I have cultivated a unique perspective on the intricacies of travel, from understanding diverse cultures to navigating various logistical challenges. As a solo expat moving to a new country it can be a scary and lonely start. The benefits though are finding cute cafés, bars, restaurants and more on my solo exploring of my new home base. You may rest assured that my recommendations are not only safe but tried and tested by me personally. So whether you're on a solo mission, with your family or friends, you can focus on enjoying your time exploring your destination. Because your safety and ease of mind is priceless.
