Hiking, concerts, and kimchi
I really don’t want to be this person but…it’s the middle of September and it’s still topping 30oC and 80% humidity. As a Brit, that’s just really not on.I’m not kidding. It’s time for the hot weather to take a bow and bugger off until next year. Personally, I can’t wait until I have to …

My final farewell to Namhae
Today marks the last of my travels here on Namhae Island. I will truly be sad to leave here, it really has been the highlight of my trip for me so far and I think will remain so. This will always be my happy place in Korea. And as if wanting to send me …
