YongChan Choi (You can call me Yolly) Premium Heritage, Outdoor, Culinary Specialist "From the beautiful scenery, to the deeper vibe and soul of Jeju." * 🏛️ The Jeju Storyteller (Culture and History) - Former researcher at a local history foundation. - Specialized storyteller of Jeju's deep cultural identity and the 4.3 Uprising. * 🚲 The Outdoor Explorer - A deeply experienced trekker and cyclist explored every hidden corner of Jeju. - Cycled Sea to Sea (C2C) route in the UK on a Brompton (2025) and walked the entire Camino de Santiago French Route (2026). * 🍳 The Local Food Expert - Certified Chef (Craftsman Cook) with a sophisticated palate. - Curator of Jeju’s authentic local flavors, dedicating to sharing the island's rich culinary narrative and seasonal treasures. Hello! I’m a certified English-speaking tour guide on beautiful Jeju Island, South Korea. I offer customized private tours for travelers who want to see the real Jeju. Before guiding, I worked at a local history foundation. I led field trips and gave talks about Jeju’s past, especially the Jeju 4.3 Uprising. Because of this, I know Jeju’s history and culture very well and love sharing them with my guests. I also love outdoor activities! I often hike up Mount Halla and many smaller volcanic hills (oreum). As a passionate cyclist, I’ve ridden all over Jeju and found many hidden spots. I’ve also traveled overseas with my bike, so I understand international travelers well. Plus, I’m a licensed cook and a real foodie! I love finding great places to eat. Jeju has so much good food—not just famous black pork and seafood, but also great local dishes and world foods. Whether you want a hike, a history walk, or a local food tour, I keep my tours fun, easy, and flexible. I look forward to meeting you and showing you the best of Jeju!
