Hi, I’m Benny, your local host here in vibrant Seoul. What I love most about Seoul is its unique blend of old and new. Walking through the palace gardens, where the royal family once strolled, filled with culture and history. I can’t get enough of the bustling downtown energy, where modern skyscrapers and historic landmarks stand side by side. The narrow alleys of traditional markets are another favorite of mine—I can never resist the delicious street food and the lively atmosphere. I know Seoul like the back of my hand, especially neighborhoods like Insa-dong, Myeong-dong, Hongdae, and Chongno. From markets specializing in antiques, clothing, and handmade crafts to unique cafes and one-of-a-kind restaurants, I can show you the spots that make Seoul so special. Let me show you my favorite corners of this vibrant city. See you soon
