A deeper appreciation for Korea
What an amazing and deeply impactful experience. Learning about the history of Korea made us appreciate the beauty of our travels so much more. Our tour guide, Moon Young, was also the absolute best. You can tell she is passionate about the tour and was funny yet insightful. I'd highly recommend you do this during your visit to South Korea - in fact, I almost think it should be mandatory to really appreciate everything. So good!
