Who we are
I’m excited you’re here at Korea Handbook. I first visited South Korea on a short trip, and it quickly turned into a lasting love.
From the neon-lit streets of Seoul to quiet hanok villages, every visit has left me wanting more.
My partner soon shared that love too, and together we created Korea Handbook to pass along the experiences, tips, and little discoveries that have made our trips so memorable.

Korea Handbook is for anyone curious about South Korea.
Maybe you’re planning your very first trip and want to know how to get a K-ETA or what apps to download. Maybe you’ve been before and want to discover hidden towns, mountain trails, or seasonal festivals.

Wherever you are in your journey, you’re welcome here.
