Journeys: Soul of South Korea

Journey through South Korea’s vibrant contrasts, where ancient traditions meet cutting-edge cities and serene islands. Start in Seoul, a buzzing metropolis where centuries-old palaces stand in the shadows of glass towers. Step back in time to Gyeongju's hanok villages, then soak up the coastal beauty and laid-back charm of Busan. Fly to Jeju Island for a deeper look into Korea’s natural wonders and cultural resilience. Meet the legendary haenyeo — elder women who free dive for seafood using techniques passed down through generations — and savour the ocean’s bounty they bring to shore. Along the way, roll up your sleeves for a kimchi-making experience, wander a UNESCO folk village, and take in South Korea’s rich heritage from every angle.

This journey is for travelers who want a broad, curated overview of South Korea rather than focusing on a single city. It balances urban exploration in Seoul with ancient history in Gyeongju and the unique natural landscapes of Jeju Island, offering a complete picture of the country's diverse soul in one seamless trip.
