Talk a walk down the Olle Trail of Jeju Island and you come across Oedolgae Rock (외돌개). We set off on our first day towards the Seogwipo Port and Oedolgae was one of the sites we stumbled on. Erosion has slowly left this rock standing as an island alone – probably why its name means ‘Solitary Rock’ or ‘Lonely Rock’. 😭 Kinda sad to think … Continue reading Oedolgae Rock (Jeju)
Street Art in Pyoseon, Jeju alongside the main street leading to Pyoseon Beach. Liv loves the colors in the waves – these gem tones are always eye-catching! I’ve never seen waves you could actually ride before – hoping to see them before we leave! Continue reading Rising with the Waves of Jeju
We recently moved to a new location, and went in pursuit of coffee and necessities shopping this morning. Ended up in a small town Pyoseon (표선) about 45 minutes away by bus. Stumbled on this neat little second-story coffee shop by the folk village stop. Directions ⛱️ You can take several buses from Jeju International Airport (I recommend using KakaoMap in English). Bus 121 is … Continue reading Kkatte Coffee – Jeju Island
Life as a Corona Virus Nomad With both the US listing China 🐼 on threat level ‘don’t go‘ and our employer recommending ‘stay away until further notice‘ . . . the message seemed pretty clear even for those of us who sometimes miss the signs. 🧐 So once our Dongdaemun hotel (review coming!) reservation was expiring, we turned our eagle eyes to something much. . … Continue reading Destination: Jeju Island!
Jeju Island is an ocean paradise – and a tourist paradise for those wanting to travel Visa free. Americans are blessed – our passport gets us into many countries visa – free. Usually for periods of 30 – 90 days at least as long as you have a ticket out of the country to show. Other nationalities are not always so fortunate, and even the … Continue reading Jeju Island Suspends Visa-Free Entry

What is your favorite thing to do on a dreary, cloudy day? One of ours is to visit the local museums, treasure chests of days gone by and memories and a passing mind. We’re both history nerds and proud of it! We’ve been to the Seoul national Museum several times on past visits, but the place is ginormous. Over 6 years, we have almost seen … Continue reading Seoul National Museum 🏛 (3rd Floor) & Camera Testing!
Thanks to the spreading CoronaVirus, we have been informally banished to Seoul in CoronaVirus exile. Prayers for all those effected! 🙏🙏🙏 We are sojourners at heart, but the extension of our two-week vacation into a month+ extended stay came rather unexpected. Now we are working to keep the stress and worry at bay by finding cheap yet fun activities to entertain our time with. With … Continue reading Yeouido Park and the Han River
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists… it is real… it is possible…it’s yours.” ~ Atlas … Continue reading The World is Yours and Everything Within It
