Seoul is overwhelming.
Let’s just go get lunch.
I live here.
Seoul is for everyone.
My programs are not.
Some people come to collect — 60 spots, 7 days, done.
That’s a real trip. Just not mine.
I’m for the traveler who arrives excited, then quietly wonders:
“How do I actually feel this city?”
and Seoul starts to make sense.
Sound familiar? I wrote something about this. →
Born in Seoul.
I know both sides.
I’ve been the person without a local — wandering European cities, figuring it out alone. I know what you’re missing.
Then I spent years in Seoul with European friends. Watching what they missed. What no algorithm could give them.
That became this.
🔌 Unplugged Seoul
Seoul without your phone.
A film camera. A card. No GPS. Just Seoul.

One day. 634 years. By the end — it makes sense.

Honestly? You don’t need me right now.
TikTok, Instagram, Climate Card (unlimited Seoul public transport pass) — Seoul is very doable solo. Gyeongbokgung, Myeongdong, Hongdae — Google will take you there just fine.
If you ever want what comes after that — you know where to find me.
Come eat Saturday. No commitment.
You didn’t come to Seoul
to spend the day guessing.
Small groups. Once a week. Sometimes they fill in a day.
