Join Kiki Keating for a journey through South Korea. In just eight days you will encounter many faces of a country that stands at a crossroads of ancient history and modern culture.
Visit temples that have stood for centuries, and palaces built during dynasties of ages past. Cruise past the skyline of one of the world’s most modern, taste making cities on the Han River in Seoul. Grapple with the difficult history of the
Korean War, today’s divided Korea, and the ways that the Demilitarized Zone aids in maintaining a tenuous balance.
Meet people who live outside the population center of metropolitan Seoul and discover a slower lifestyle on beautiful Jeju Island. Try almost every cuisine that Korea has to offer and encounter the natural beauty of the region, which stood before many manmade sites on your itinerary, and will last for millennia to come.
