Hello there, fellow adventurers! I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome you to this enchanting journey through Seoul’s best-kept secrets. My name is Mina, and I’m your friendly guide to the hidden gems nestled within the heart of this bustling city. As we set out on this exciting expedition, let me share a little about myself and the fascinating experiences that have shaped my perspective on Seoul.

 

Picture this: I once had the incredible opportunity to work in the heart of the Yeouido area, right within the iconic IFC building. Gazing out of its windows, I was treated to a breathtaking panorama of the Han River, its waters glistening under the sun’s warm embrace. This vantage point became more than just an office view; it was a daily reminder of the city’s dynamic beauty and the stories it held. 

Having worked both here in Seoul and across the ocean in the captivating city of Amsterdam, I’ve been fortunate to experience the magic of two incredibly diverse yet equally charming worlds. Amsterdam’s canals and the tranquil expanse of its lush green landscapes left an indelible mark on my heart. Sometimes, as I explore the vibrant streets of Seoul, a faint longing for those flat, serene views resurfaces, reminding me of the bridges between cultures and continents.

 

Seoul, with its electrifying energy, stands as a canvas where modernity converges with rich tradition. This city has a heartbeat of its own, a rhythm that beckons travelers from all corners of the globe. Yet, amidst the skyscrapers and neon lights, I’ve often noticed something intriguing. Many newcomers to Seoul tend to miss out on the hidden corners that truly define the city’s essence – the local hubs, the quiet parks, the quaint cafes where authenticity thrives.

 

Throughout this guide, my goal is to bridge that gap, unveiling the treasures that Seoul lovingly holds in its embrace. I’ve tailored our journey to encompass the heartwarming experiences that often slip through the cracks of a bustling itinerary.

 

So, fellow explorers, join me as we venture through the enchanting streets of Yeouido, dive into the artistic tapestry of Hapjeong, and embrace the spirited ambiance of Hongdae. Let’s immerse ourselves in the local culture, savor the delectable flavors, and discover the stories that make Seoul a true mosaic of dreams and realities.

 

From one wanderer’s heart to yours, let’s set forth on a delightful escapade to uncover the Seoul you didn’t know you were missing.

 

With warmth and excitement,

Mina
