Hello I am Imseong and you can call me Chris. Thank you for visiting my beautiful country. I used to teach Korean history and geography to teenagers. A few years ago, I had a chance to visit Australia and I got a lot of questions about Korea from people in various countries. I wanted to let them know not just an abstract saying of my country being beautiful but also its rich history. That is why I decided to become a tour guide, and studied to get the license. Since then, it has been over 9 years of working as a tour guide. So far I have met hundreds of people from various nationalities. I found out that I like meeting new people and having a conversation with them, sharing the experience of our daily life, history and abundant traditional culture as well. How much have you heard about Korea?  There is a Korean proverb,    "Better to see it once, than hear about it a hundred times. " But I can tell you "Better to see and hear than to see only' Pun on your questions, wants and needs including local daily life experience. All tours are customized and I will accompany you to bring fun and excitement to the destination of your choosing.

In Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace of Joseon Dynasty(1392-1910) you can stroll around wearing Hanbok, Korea's traditional clothes and we can understand the transformations of the nation since the Korean war, the center of the democratic movement and traditional lifestyle as well.
