I've been a lot of amazing places in my life, but since many of these trips occurred before the inception of this blog, I haven't shared them here before! This post is part of a series I plan to write about some of the destinations I've visited that have not been published on Adventures in Aubreyland.
One place that has a special place in my heart and heritage is South Korea. My mother was born and raised there, and I lived there for five years as a young child. My father was stationed there with the Army, so we spent time in both Daegu and Seoul in the '90s. When I graduated college in 2007, my mother and I went back for a week or so to tour the country and visit family.

I do not speak Korean, but I can read the alphabet and understand some. My mother and I took a bus tour (with hotel overnights) of the eastern and southern coasts of the country, visiting temples, "heritage" villages, eating Korean food, and more. We visited Mokpo, Buan,
Boseong Green Tea Plantation,
Seomjingang Train,
Jeju-do, and more.
