As most of you know, this summer I have been working as an editor for The College Tourist, gathering our weekly writer’s roundup. But I’ve also had the opportunity to work on articles. My newest one went up earlier this week, and it’s all about my trip to Korea! If you’re not already sick and […]
South Korea Part 7
When I was thinking about blogging about our trip to the DMZ, I wanted to title this post “Run DMZ,” in an attempt to be clever (get it? get it!?). But this ended up being a pretty serious trip. The DMZ wasn’t something I had planned on visiting when I arrived but when the opportunity […]
South Korea Part 6
I know, I know, I’ve been home for two weeks and I haven’t finished my Korea posts. Summer makes me super lazy/a bad blogger but I’m getting through it! Like I said last time, week 2 was a little less stressful (and I got lazy with my picture taking) so posts are getting shorter. We […]
South Korea Part 5
Our second weekend we were back in Suwon, and decided to visit Minsokchon, a Korean folk village on the outskirts of the city. It’s sort of like a Korean version of colonial Williamsburg, with people dressed up in period outfits, traditional demonstrations and performances, and loads of touristy souvenirs. I’m not really cut out for farm […]
South Korea Part 4
Hello! I’ve wrapped up our first week in Korea. Our second week was mostly spent in Seoul bookended by weekends in Suwon. Week 2 was just as crazy a little less stressful and without as much traveling, so here is our first day in Seoul. Enjoy! Crazy murals like this are painted all over the city, […]
South Korea Part 3
I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July full of fireworks and great food! Now that the long weekend is over it’s time to jump back into my trip to Korea! Right after Gyeongju we jumped back in the car and headed for Busan, way down at the southern tip of the country and […]
South Korea Part 2
Hope everyone enjoyed my little style post this morning, but now we’re shifting back to travel for another post about my incredible trip to Korea! These are all going to be pretty photo-heavy so heads up! Sunday morning we were up bright and early and off to Daejon, about an hour and a half from Suwon […]
South Korea Part 1
Hello!! Sorry for the radio silence the past few weeks but I am finally home from my adventures in South Korea!!! This trip was AMAZING and it is going to be hard to put into words, but you can expect lots of photos! I had no time/energy to blog during my trip so I’m going to […]
June
It’s June, which means summer is in full swing! I can’t express how happy I am to be home for the summer, after what was an absolutely insane semester. Yesterday I reflected on just a few of the amazing things that have happened in just a few short months, and now that I’ve looked into the […]
