I am an American photographer who did freelance work while living in Seoul, South Korea for four years. I would often walk around the streets with my cameras and take in the sights of this lively city. I am pretty biased, but I think Seoul is the most beautiful city in the world! There is so much going on and so much life everywhere; there's never a dull moment. I hope you enjoy these few photos that I took during my time in Seoul!

Discover South Korea in style on this privately guided journey through the nation’s rich history and culture, visiting fascinating cities and green Jeju Island. Begin with four nights in the vast metropolis of Seoul, the capital, where you’ll be shown around grand royal palaces and ornate secret gardens, then led through bustling markets in search of the best Korean street food and handicrafts. Wander the streets of historic villages which stand in stark contrast to gleaming skyscrapers, the tallest of which you’ll venture up for an unmatched vista. You’ll also visit the Demilitarized Zone and a memorial to learn about the country’s recent history, as well as seeing how life was in the more distant past. Next take a train across the peninsula to Gyeongju, once the centre of the ancient kingdom of Silla and today known as the ‘the museum without walls’ thanks to its proliferation of temples, tombs and pagodas. A short way south is Busan, Korea’s second city, home to the beautiful sea-side Haedong Yonggungsa temple, rainbow coloured Gamcheon village, some incredible food markets and an infectious buzz. From here, fly out across the Korea Strait to Jeju Island for a final three nights. A dramatic landscape offering scenic hikes up volcanic cones, along tumbling coastlines and to idyllic waterfalls, it’s also home to cutting edge art galleries, its own unique culture and some delectable culinary specialities.
