ENFP -( Extrovert / iNtuition / Feeling / Perceiving ) Hello~ I'm MAERI KIM who was born & grew up in Seoul, Korea. I have lived in the Philippines for 6 years(2013-2018). While I was staying there, I was working as a private guide for Koreans. Due to the COVID, I've been back in Korea. Being a tour guide was the most suitable job ever I had, so I've got a tour guide license in Korea. I love to meet new people and love to have new experiences. I respect other cultures and love to learn about them. Family-friendly: I have 2 children - a girl who's 20 years & a boy who's 17 years. So I can handle unexpected circumstances such as baby crying, yelling, or urgent visits to the toilet. ;) And I'm living with my parents aged 70s. I can adjust the itinerary if my clients are seniors. All my tours can be customized upon request according to your group size or interests. Feel free to message me. Tourist Guide Certificate & Lisence (2016') certificated understanding K-culture Program (2023') No smoking inside the vehicle

Overview of your Seoul tour

Explore the vibrant Cheongryangri Market, divided into 9 sections offering an array of experiences, from Ginseng & Korean Herbs to Fresh Produce and Meat. One of my personal favorites is the Seoul Yakryeongsi Herb Medicine Museum. Here, you'll immerse yourself in the world of oriental medicine and herbs. Don't miss the chance to indulge in an herbal foot bath (available from March to October) or unwind at the Traditional Tea Cafe for a soothing experience. If you are a Starbucks lover or not, don't miss the Kyungdong 1960 Starbucks branch, which will transport you back to the 1960s. You'll find The Youth Mall, which consists of 20 malls operated by young owners. You can enjoy your meal there if you don't prefer traditional types of restaurants, such as Fried Chicken Alley. Whether you're in search of fresh fruits or the best ginseng at a wholesale price, Cheongryangri Market offers a multitude of experiences. Join me and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and flavors of Seoul!
