I am a certified tour guide with fluent English, knowledge and enthusiasm to share Korean people's past, present and future. Please join me in exploring Korea from its antiquity to the present! I can arrange chartered van or mini-bus with a driver if you want a private vehicle. I believe this is safer and more fulfilling as you can have my full attention even on the road. For most of walking tours, I go with bus, subway and taxi. I believe the public transportation in Seoul is a must have experience! ************ Tour Guide Experience************ * 2024/May Staff Delegations(CoS) of the House of Representatives invited by Korea Foundation (industrial sites/government agency visits) * 2024/May Samsung VIP customers from MENA (cultural tour/government agency visit) * 2024/Apr Logistics support for an art tour conducted by Limelight/Austrailian tour company (art galleries/cultural tour) * 2023/May Samsung VIP customers from MENA (cultural tour/government agency visit) * 2015 ~ Present Tourguide for cultural and industrial field trip organized KOICA(A governmental agency dedicated to providing grant aid programs of the Korean government) * Shore Excursions - Volendam, Seabourn Sojourn, Millenium, Nautica, Amsterdam, EUROPA (both for the cruiseline agency and private tour) Apr/2019 - Dallas Assembly Seminar & Extension for 60 pax Aug/2017 - SAT1 TV(German TV) Kock Undercover filming tour May/2017 - On-site coordination for one of the client of American Express Meetings & Events Apr/2017 - Vogue Netherland tour organized by KTO, visiting hipster places in Seoul Apr/2017 - Korea Cruise Travel Mart FAM tour organized by KTO(Korea Tourism Org. ) Apr/2016 - Lecture on Korea culture for Hyundai Construction and Engineering Global Talent program from Feb/2016 - Yonsei University Exchange Student culture tour-DMZ Oct/2015 - OECD Ministerial Meeting Daejeon 2015 World Science and Technology VIP Tour May/2015 - 10th International Freight Conference Tour Apr/2015 - World Water Forum Technical Tour * Interpreter Experience - several meetings with North Korean defectors Apr/2017 - Korea Cruise Travel Mart Nov/2015 - Global Infrastructure Cooperation Conference Liaison for the Minister of Ministry of Urban Development and Housing/Ethiopia.
