Hi! I’m Shelley, the woman behind the words.

I'm a coffee loving introvert, who quit the grind years ago... to live life on my own terms. Traveling & being an expat has changed my life in all the very best ways - and I hope the words and images here inspire you not just to dream, but to actually set forth on an adventure of your very own.

In Seoul, I found not just a physical home, but also a home for my heart, soul, and spirit as well. So, while I traveled extensively and independently to 61 countries around the world, I focus on South Korea travel content here. Follow along, comment and ask me all your burning Korea-related questions. Let’s connect!
