SKIING/SNOWBOARDING TRIP WITH ADVENTURE KOREA

ICE FISHING FESTIVAL

Just two months ago, leading travel guide Lonely Planet named ice fishing in Korea as one of its 7 wonders of winter, putting it right up there with the Northern lights in Canada and the hot springs in Yellowstone national park. Unlike these two natural phenomena though, ice fishing is relatively new to Korea. Held […]

GEUMSANSA TEMPLE STAY

I wanted a relaxing weekend and that’s exactly what I received. This past weekend I joined Adventure Korea’s Geumsansa Temple Stay. It was just what I needed. I have been stressed at work lately and needed a break from the city, so off to the temple I went! When we arrived at the temple I […]

ULJIN BEACH AND VALLEY TRIP

Summertime in Korea can be awful.  I’m from Los Angeles, so Korea’s winter and summer seasons are hard for me to handle. The last weekend in July, I decided to venture out of Seoul.
