About Globetrotting Korean
Hi. My name is Seongyeon Hwang – a.k.a. Yeon – who are passionate with traveling (at least of now, the other day you may find this site closed) and one day aims to travel at least 150+ countries in my lifetime, before I go into a wheelchair.
The purpose of this website is mainly to reflect my overall adventure. Yes, you can call it as, a “diary”, and I aim to write where I have been and what I witnessed, what I ate, and what i felt, as genuinely as possible, since I have a serious forgetfulness (no joke). Ah, and to practice my English skills. (also no joke)
But I also like to give raw new information to others, which often does not exist in Google and even our ai agents like ChatGPT or Gemini find it hard to answer. Information that can only be known by being there, by meeting with locals. Because i still beleive, that even in this world where every single bit of places are already explored, exposed, and easy to find on the internet, there is still a place left to explore, hidden, undiscovered, where no one has yet left his or her trace.
I am not a polyglot, or an experienced adventurer, and I am definitely not a good writer or photographer. I am just a random Asian who travel from time to time spending all my payroll and regretting in a flight returning to Korea. But it will be memorable if my post can help even one or two travelers who cross the same path I crossed.
