About me
Hello,

I'm a Seoul native, born and bred in this vibrant city. During my teenage years, I spent some time in the UK, broadening my horizons. My academic journey led me to major in Urban Sociology at Seoul City University. In 2014, I embarked on a fascinating bicycle journey through South East Asia, immersing myself in diverse cultures.

My professional background reflects my diverse interests - from being an independent reporter to an NGO activist and now a PR consultant. I find joy in meeting and conversing with new people, exploring different cultures, and appreciating animals. Personally, I'm happily married and identify as an atheist, though I respect all religions.

Thanks Baruem! Fabulous... by Luis

Thanks Baruem! Fabulous afternoon chum around in Seoul with views of lots of the landmarks, lots of architecture inside and out, with a couple of great bars to finish up with. The perfect taster for a return trip to South Korea. I loved it.

Host was super amazing! by Susan

I had a great time exploring the city with Baruem trying out some typical Korean food and drinks. Appreciated that we avoided touristic places and went where locals go!
