South Korea
In South Korea, I immersed myself in a fusion of tradition and modernity. Seoul's bustling streets, vibrant markets, and ancient palaces reflected the city's spirit, while the lively energy of its people added a personal touch. Busan's coastal beauty, bustling fish markets, and tranquil temples offered a delightful mix of vibrancy and serenity. In Gyeongju, the ancient sites and rich history provided a fascinating glimpse into Korea's past. These photographs were taken in May and June 2023.
