Cleaner & Greener


This past Saturday Lauren and I were able to join a group of other foreigners and set off on a wilderness trek. The trek was in the county of Inje, which is in the Gangwon-do province located in the north east part of the country.

The bus ride was approximately 3 hours (heavy traffic due the Korean Memorial Day holiday) to Gangwon-do. We hiked for (our estimation based on speed and time) approximately 4km in and reached a flat rocky area where we stopped for lunch and spent a few hours enjoying the scenery and socializing before making our way back down to the bus. The trail lead us along and thru a shallow and very cold river - it was quite refreshing.

The area was gorgeous. It was such a rejuvination for our 'Seouls' to be out in nature and breathing in the fresh air. We were blessed to have the escape and look forward to another outdoor adventure we have planned at the end of this month.
