FROM SURFING IN GANGWON-DO, to biking around an idyllic island in Jeonbuk, to picking persimmons in Jeonnam, I’ve compiled photos from all the trips I’ve taken as a way to thank Adventure Korea for all the opportunities they’ve given me to explore beyond Seoul this year. Adventure Korea trips are ideal for expats and backpackers on a budget, introducing you to many places that you’d never think of going. Without the help of Adventure Korea, I would have never known about bare-handed fishing contests and beaches with surfing. On each trip, I’ve met great people, and there’s always a soju-filled party in the evening. (Except for the templestay, of course.^^)
I hope these images inspire you to free yourself from your cozy dwelling on the weekends and discover all the beautiful places Korea has to offer.
