WTF Korea!

There were a lot of WTF moments when I decided to visit South Korea and spent 2 weeks traveling from Seoul all the way to Jeju island so I decided to make a video about those moments like:

1. WTF! The government invited me to speak about my nomad life on Jeju Island!? Hell yeah!
2. WTF! There's other things to do in Korea other than KPOP!? Like the numerous mountains to climb and amazing nature in Seoraksan and Jeju!? Who would have thought.
3. WTF! Why were there hundreds of people hanging out on the streets of Seoul on a regular Thursday? (Apparently it was a long public holiday, children's day and buddha's birthday)
4. WTF! Why do I continued to stumble upon these seemingly random parades, concerts, and shows everywhere at night in Seoul? I was lucky enough to be there during the Buddha's birthday celebration.
5. WTF! Live Octopus? Why so damn delicious!?
6. WTF! Why is the internet so god damn fast!? Uploading 4GB of video content in 15 minutes!? Holy shit!
7. WTF! Why are the street food so good and cheap!?

Seriously, I was never attracted to Korea as my travel destination because I think there was nothing to do except dwelling in cities (I hate cities) but apparently I was wrong. Seoraksan National Park is a hiker's haven whereas the Jeju island is filled with amazing volcanic rock formations.

On this trip, I also had the opportunity to meet fellow digital nomads (invited by the government as well) from all over the world and hung out with them on Jeju island. I am a solo traveler through and through but surprisingly I found myself enjoying the time I spent with these people more than I thought I would. They are all doing incredible things and there's a lot to learn from them.

There's so much energy, so much culture and so much untouched nature in South Korea and I hope you can feel some of it from the video. Enjoy!

Special thanks to J-Space (Co-working space in Jeju) and the government for inviting me to South Korea.
