I'm a trilingual native Korean from Gwang-ju(South-west city). I love Seoul and its cultural advantages in fashion, literature, music, vintage markets and all kinds of un-useful but artsy, cool and exciting things. Very romantic at heart but also very practical as well. On the other hands, easy going and down to earth, friendly person who would put efforts to make your trip very personal, special and unforgettable. Looking forward to having great travel partners in Seoul

My major back in college days centered around Korean contemporary history, which ranges from North-South Korean conflicts, to a rapid socio-economic development for the last 60 years. One exciting thing I can offer to you about Seoul is the profound and complicated Modern Korean history and how that has shaped Korean people including myself. Among these turbulent days surrounding North-South Korea interaction, I am very confident that I can be the perfect host for a specific location - War Memorial Museum - a hidden gem that is only known to few tourists. The main motivation for being a local tour guide is not just money, but pure enjoyment from interaction with people of different countries! In this spirit, I am willing to do only few hours. Please don't hesitate to contact me, if you have any lingering questions about the tour itinerary!
