About me
I'm John, a proud local in Korea with a unique blend of experiences. Having spent about 6 and a half years in America, most of my childhood unfolded in the enchanting city of Seattle, fueling my love for exploration and travel.

Currently, I wear multiple hats as an English teacher and a tour guide, offering a holistic perspective on Korea's rich history and attractions. In my nine years here, I've discovered that the true essence of Korea comes alive through the stories and insights shared by the locals. Join me for an immersive journey where every step unfolds a new chapter in Korea's vibrant tapestry. Let's explore together!
My Offer
I'm passionate about two things: enjoying good drinks and meeting new people. If you're looking for a buddy or someone to give you a personalized tour of Korea, you've come to the right person. I'll be your guide through the vibrant streets of Seoul, particularly in the lively district of Hongdae. Get ready to experience how the locals hang out, and I'll throw in a bit of Korean traditions to make your journey even more memorable. Let's make some unforgettable memories together!

Platinum Guide Services by Marie

A friendly local and a wonderful guide. We are very pleased that we booked John while we were in Seoul and we highly recommend him for your trip. One of the best parts of our trip was having him show us around.
