Bali in Mangwon It’s no secret that Bali is high on my list of places to sink my teeth into once my final contract in Korea is complete. I had no idea I’d get my wish so quickly (and literally) this Chuseok vacation! Bali in Mangwon is a “Surfer-made Balinese food & drink” stop a…

Seoul-stagram Goals: 씨스루 C.THROUGH Cafe
Itaewon to Noksapyeong I moved to Kyunglidan (Kyungridan?) at the beginning of March, 2017. Having spent so much time up in Uijeongbu I haven’t meandered the backroads of the hill between Noksapyeong and Itaewon. There are so many incredible little surprises along those backroads! We took a perfectly sunny Sunday in Seoul and set out to…
SeoulFood: CraftBros Tap House & Bottle Shop (Apgujeong Bar)
Finding a spot in Gangnam where you can relax and catch up with a friend can often be overwhelming. South of the Han there are SO many cafes, restaurants, bars, clubs, lounges, and hofs that making a decision can be infuriating. If you’re looking for an after-work hangout, CraftBros Bottle & Tap House is a great Apgujeong…
Seoul Secrets: Trick-Eye Museum 서울 트릭아이미술관
The Trick-Eye Museum Seoul (서울 트릭아이미술관) is a great place to spend an afternoon. We checked it out on a Sunday, but it would be the perfect place to have a little fun before dinner, drinks, and party-time any day in Seoul. We went to The Trick-Eye Museum in Seoul before venturing over to Pakito Taberna Espanola and had…
Great Spring & Summer Date Spots in Seoul
The blogs I read before coming to Korea all had one particular common post that kind of irks me now that I live here. The majority of them stated that a single, straight woman over the age of 21 or 22 would have a tough time dating.
…and they’re off (-track Horse Racing at Walkerhill)
Let’s Run: A case where going “Off Track” is a good thing.
The new facilities at the Sheraton Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul, which opened Friday June 3rd, 2016, are clean and quiet. This is a far cry from what I would have imagined having been to some of the casinos throughout Asia. A few juicy details to note before jumping into the nitty-gritty.
Candidly Kate: Where to Teach in Korea
In a country the size of Indiana, you would think that the two largest cities would have similar lifestyles. After spending a year in Busan I thought I have conquered Korea enough to hit the capital. Could I have been more wrong?
The Bucket List: Round II
On Saturday I participated in a press tour organized by the municipality of Seoul in collaboration with the Korean Food Foundation. Seoul Bloggers and Photographers went for a meet, greet, walking tour of the old city, and lunch. I’m so incredibly honoured to have been invited. We had a wonderful day with a great tour guide and I managed to cross off even more places I had been hoping to visit. Having lived in Korea for a year, I’d like to present Round II of my Bucket List, this edition being all Seoul. As I’ve already managed to visit many of the places on my initial list, I’ll give a little information and/or an opinion on each, and then list the remainder at the end. One thing’s for sure – it’s never a dull time living in Seoul!
Itaewon: For Cocktail Lovers?
We could see a number of spots we had never explored, one of which was Fountain. The stone staircase looked like it could be a really cool spot, but we were meeting at Ramie’s so we didn’t immediately stop in.
