• ☀️ Summer Time Workation - Aug 18–Sep 1
  Beach life, community, reunion vibes

We've made changes to be more inclusive and flexible:

☀️ 7 Reasons Why You Should Come to Korea This Summer

You haven’t experienced all of Korea if you haven’t spent months listening to the soundtrack of maemi - cicadas - or… Waterbomb, THE Korean summer music festival! 

July-August might be hot and humid, with temperatures between 25°C (77°F) and 35°C (91°F), but it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.

The iced food! The camping! The swimming in mountain pools!

Read our new blog post with 7 ideas to enjoy in Seoul and outside the city.
