See Korea Next Campaign

Using the hashtag #SeeKoreaNext the project highlighted Korea as a destination to think about traveling to next, when it is safe to do so.

Traverse worked with content creators to produce content to tell the world why Korea should be the next place to visit when the time is right. 

Covering Korea's incredible culture, history, cities, festivals and more we tasked content creators with publishing beautiful stories and crafting inspiring stories that they could share with their audiences.

Traverse and the Korean Tourism Organisation hosted a special virtual night that included a delicious cook-along, food photography class and a Korean-themed quiz.

Attendees were encouraged to post Instagram Stories about the event as well as choosing a Korea Zoom virtual background for the online event. 

Are you dreaming of travel like us? Even though some of the world is slowly opening up to tourism we know a lot of you are waiting to see what happens over the next few months before you travel again. Once things get back to normal we would love to go back to Seoul in South Korea.

Don’t let the fact it’s winter in Jeju Island put you off. Jeju in winter is a wonderful time to visit the island – less tourists and cheaper prices for all! I visited Jeju last winter – at the start of December – and had a great trip. I spent two days in Jeju City (you only need one) and then had four days to explore the rest of what Jeju Island had to offer.

But South Korea, in particular, has its own vast wealth of places where those looking to unwind, relax, and soothe their aching bodies or minds can go to escape it all.

If there’s one country’s food that has taken off on a global scale this past decade, it’s Korean food. Second only to kpop music, the cuisine of South Korea is one of the nation’s biggest draws, and rightly so. Korean food is varied, indulgent, experimental, and exciting. And when you visit South Korea, what to eat and where to find the best food are big questions to ask.

When planning a trip to South Korea, you must include the Southern city of Busan in your South Korea itinerary! Why? Because Busan is a coastal city with stunning beaches and walking trails but it’s also a big city with skyscrapers offering lots of options for shopping, street food and street art!

Today we’re sharing a list of fun things to do in Seoul because no trip to South Korea would be complete without a few days exploring the capital! This is a city of contrasts where you can wander through ancient palaces or zip up to the viewing deck of the tallest skyscraper in the country, quiet your mind during a temple stay or belt out tunes in a singing room, experience spicy street food in the local markets or treat your taste buds to sweet plum tea and rice cakes in a teahouse.

If there’s one thing I really like about Korea, it’s their cafe culture. Themed cafes in Seoul are wildly popular, and it seems that the wackier the idea, the bigger the clientele! What is one to do with so many choices? Why visit them all, of course! On our last trip to Korea, Sam and I set out to explore as many unique themed cafes as possible ranging from cat cafes and dog cafes to secret garden cafes and traditional tea houses.

Over the last few months, I’ve been thinking a lot about which travel destination I would like to return to the most, once it’s safe to do so again.

Out of all the countries I’ve been to, one stood out: South Korea.

I’ve just finished four days of driving in Jeju – it’s been great! Well, most of it. That full day of torrential rain kinda put a dampener on things, but still, it added the moodiness and drama of the island.

Autumn is in full swing on the beautiful island of Jeju, South Korea as dried orange leaves are set against the backdrop of the turquoise sea. I have left the explosive capital city of Seoul to arrive in the calm and tranquility of Jeju Island.

Every now and then, someone asks me if I’ve ever been to South Korea. “Yes, I have,” I tell them. “I spent three weeks in Korea.” “Then why is there so little of it on your blog?” Well.
