Annyeong Digital Nomads Korea community!

It’s summertime!

We went hiking by Hongjecheon falls (in the middle of Seoul!), strolled in Seonyudo’s glass house, partied, and ate great food. 

It’s always great food with us 😋

In this newsletter, we’ve got:

• 🌊 News about Busan Workations: there’s a new 1-week ticket in town!

• ☀️ Inspiration for the best things to do in summer in Korea…

• 📆 and fun with our events calendar.

🤗 NEWS

🌊 Busan Workations: you can now book 1 week only

Quick recap for those of you who don’t know: we’re organising Hoppin Busan 2025, a series of workations in Busan from August 18 to October 24. 

There are 4 workations, 4 themes, 2 weeks each. Coliving, coworking, activities & fun are included. You get to join a like-minded community with a flexible schedule:

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

• 🌏 Asia Excursion - Sep 1–15
  Connect with nomads from Japan & Taiwan at the Asia Workation Alliance Forum

• 🎬 Startup & Film - Sep 15–29
  Attend BIFF, FlyAsia, Bounce, ideal for creatives and founders

• 🇰🇷 Korean Language - Oct 10–24
  Learn Korean, cook, dance, and slow travel

Until now, we had some eligibility requirements. Most of them are gone!

We’ve been working to make things more flexible.

Now you can join:  

• For 1 week at a time

• Even if you are working in Korea 

• All 4 workations, if you want (you could only join one before)

All the details on pricing, accommodation, and scheduled activities are on the Hoppin Busan 2025 page👇

PS: For Hoppin Busan 2024 Alumni, we’ve got a special party planned during the summer workation on August 22! Don’t miss the date 💚

☀️ 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.
