South Korea

Why we love South Korea

Seb once lived and worked in South Korea as English teacher. While this was for just under a year, he spend lots of time traveling up and down the country, visiting its temples, mountains and exciting bustling cities.

Brighde had the chance to visit in 2022, as part of an invitation from the Korea Tourism Board, who wanted to explore the possibility of hosting vegans! 

We figured it was time to add it to our growing destination portfolio.  South Korea isn’t usually high on people’s list of travel destination, but we think this should change!  

South Korea is currently a highly sought-after destination due to the “Korea Wave” phenomenon, which has sparked a significant fascination with their music, movies, television, and language. We are eager to delve deeper into this cultural phenomenon, and to show our travelers what makes this place such and exciting destination!
