Welcome to Korea Travel Diary! Hi there! I'm a web designer and travel blogger currently living in Seoul, South Korea.

What began as a personal blog for Korean readers has now grown into a space to share the real Korea with curious travelers and culture lovers from around the world.

This isn’t just another tourist guide — it’s a collection of authentic stories, local reviews, and practical tips from someone who actually lives, eats, and travels across Korea every day.
