Hahoe Folk Village in South Korea is an open-air museum AND a village where people still live in traditional houses that have existed for centuries. I walk along narrow paths between traditional houses, see laundry hanging, hear children playing, and smell cooking aromas. Back in time, but with wifi.
Travel to beautiful Thailand for a lovely yoga retreat. There is a huge range of yoga retreats on offer. Is it a unique jungle retreat or beach retreat you want? I have made a small selection of yoga retreats to help you on your way.
Seoraksan National Park is green and beautiful, and it’s the main reason most people come to Sokcho. You can do several hikes through nature here. And with the paved trails and many, many stairs, it’s maybe a bit less wild than I’d hoped, but still a welcome change from South Korea’s cities.
Seoul and food are inextricably linked. But let me be honest: after three days in Seoul, I can’t claim to have the best restaurant tips for you. That would take weeks, maybe months. What I can share? My first experiences with Korean food culture. The things I tried, the places I went, and especially what I thought about them. Read/eat and learn!
