Meet Zoe R.

"Korea was very welcoming. Even when people do not speak English, most of the time they try to help as best as they can. There is also so much to do that is easily accessible, like pop-up stores in Seongsu, idol birthday cafes in Hongdae, hiking up countless mountains, and exploring palaces and older traditional neighborhoods."
