So I immediately began researching Daegu. I looked for blogs that could provide some insights for what to expect. But I couldn’t find any that were very helpful. Moving to South Korea came with the expectation of exploring Asia. I decided to be the research I was looking for. Here, I share some valuable travel tips and ideas that I have learned while living in South Korea and traveling across Asia.

Out here by myself on the salt flats in Utah, with the sky turning orange and pink at sunset, I love making the water splash and seeing the clouds at my feet. It`s pretty amazing. It gets me thinking about where I`m headed as a content creator – there`s a lot of room to grow, but the exact way forward isn`t totally clear yet. #saltflatselfie
