Hi, I'm Theo. A few years ago my partner Mia and I packed two backpacks, left home, and never really stopped. We're full-time travellers: we pick a place, live in it long enough to know it properly, then build the guide we wish we'd had on day one. Korea Vibe is our South Korea edition, and it is one we keep coming back to, season after season.
We write for everyone
We travel a little differently every year, so we write for every kind of trip. Whether you're a family riding the KTX with kids, a couple chasing cherry blossom, a group of friends bar-hopping through Hongdae, or a solo traveller on your first big adventure, you'll find picks here that actually fit. We only recommend places we've been to and things we'd send our own friends to.
What you'll find here
Detailed guides to South Korea: the cities, from Seoul and its palaces to Busan and the beaches and volcanic Jeju, the temples and heritage towns, the food and the markets, Korean barbecue and street food, nature and the seasons, getting around by KTX and metro, culture and K-culture, ready-made itineraries by number of days, and the practical stuff too, money, etiquette and when to go. Every guide carries current tips and honest answers to the questions people really ask.
How we work
We keep the guides updated and show the last update date on every one. When something changes, an opening time, a new line, a place that closed, we fix it. Spotted a mistake? We'd love to hear about it.
Full transparency
Some links on the site are affiliate links. If you book a hotel, tour or rental car through them we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That's what keeps the guides free, and it never changes what we recommend.
