Tawny and I lived in the Korean city of Pohang for two years. Everyday was a chance to put someplace on the map. Every new corner was a bold adventure full of exploration and glory. We were riding our motorcycle on some back roads one weekend when we slipped through a wrinkle in time. Rounding a corner the paved road […]
Coiled around a mountain on the edge of the small village of Chilpo-ri, in South Korea, there is a dragon that eats more people than all the sharks in the world combined. This dragon lies in wait, mouth agape, waiting for anyone to walk inside. The locals call it Daewonsa, and it is the best Korean temple we’ve been to. […]
South Korea has a tradition of bullfights that is as long and time honored as the ones in Spain. With one very large difference, no one dies. A Korean bullfight features two bulls, released into a ring, that push against one another until one decides to run away. All the while their trainer is shouting encouragement to them over their […]
South Korea and Japan have started a new craze of cafes where one can go, get a cup of coffee, and seek companionship. Some cafes charge by the hour and some charge by the cup. When you first walk in it can be a little nerve-wracking. A dozen beautiful eyes all turn to appraise you when you walk in. At first, […]
With Valentine’s day upon us we wanted to write a post that would inspire love and affection. After trying and failing multiple times, we decided to leave it in the hands of our fellow colleagues and bloggers. We asked some of our favorite traveling couples to weigh in on the most romantic destinations that they’ve been to. Breckenridge, Colorado. (by […]
Alright. Alright. It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here. The Captain’s K-POP TEN. As most of you already know, my mister (aka Chris) has excellent taste in women. However, you might be unaware of his quest for pop perfection. If you want to catch a glimpse of the past pop princess prospects you can take a look […]
Chris and I recently came across a slew of videos that we made while living in South Korea. Some of them were great, some were horrendous. You can tell in most of the footage that we were still trying to figure out how to shoot, edit, and make our videos interesting. Our style has evolved since then, but we’re still […]
I love Korea. I love it more than scotch, more than cheese, and more than turkey on Thanksgiving. How do I know, you ask? Korea doesn’t have any of those things outside of shady black market deals, and I still loved it there. I even loved traveling through Korea. Recently, Tawny took a three-day road trip to Missouri from Seattle […]
One of the best purchases we made while living in South Korea was our motorcycle. It was actually my 24th birthday gift from Chris. For a whopping 500,000 won (roughly $450 USD) we were able to purchase our sweet ride from a fellow ex-pat and have free reign of our new home. Chris stumbled upon this old video that we […]
This photo was taken at a hapkido tournament that Chris and I participated in while living in South Korea. It was November 2010, and we had somehow been talked into competing by our hapkido master. We had only received our black belts a few months prior and were no where near ready to compete against students that had been practicing […]
