Staying in the Bukchon Hanok Village will transport you back to the Joseon Dynasty. Located between Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace in northern Seoul, this traditional area will make you feel worlds away from the bustling skyscapers of Seoul. Hanoks are traditional Korean houses built from wooden structure and soil baked tile roofs. Many today…

I’ve moved to the city of Suwon which is located about 1 hour south of Seoul. It’s home to just over 1 million residents although it feels like a lot more and it’s famous for the Hwaseong Fortress (to come in another post!). It’s the last remaining walled city in South Korea and also home…

Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference Robert Frost It always seems that society thrusts a map in the hands of everyone dictating what they should do. It’s the acceptable path to take. Why would you possibly need to…

This post was inspired by a post from Nomad Online where Agnes wrote about her 5 life lessons. I always think these life lessons are so true they sometimes hurt and are a great way to learn from others instead of learning the hard way. Here are my 10 life lessons that I’ve learnt so…

Empty streets during these times and over the summer holidays let me able to stroll around more. I had not really noticed some of these places below before. Really noticed. There’s something so retro, haunting, glam and hidden. I guess these places are now historical after having played such a big scene within Sydney in…
