Seoul, South Korea

About The Soul of Seoul

My name is Hallie and I have lived in South Korea since 2006. I've traveled extensively all over Korea and have even created and run my own tours, events, and more. I created The Soul of Seoul, a top website for all of your travel and lifestyle insight into Korea more than a decade ago to share what you need to know to see more and experience more of South Korea.

I have been featured on CNN, the BBC, and even showed Samantha Brown of "Places To Love" around in Seoul. I've written for Forbes Travel Guide, Lonely Planet, and The Korea Times. If you want someone helping you with your trip in Korea, it's definitely me. Let's get ready to see more of South Korea!
