Interview | Herald Biz
I was asked recently by Herald Biz, a rather large Korean media outfit, to comment on both my blog and that recent blogging trip I went on put together by The Korea Tourism Organization. I’ve translated a segment of it below for your viewing pleasure.
UPDATE: Apparently Naver also featured the piece on Friday.
A group of thirty bloggers from all over the world recently enjoyed an all-expenses paid trip to Korea’s east coast (October 14~October 16). The group has been voluntarily promoting Korea through photography, articles, as well as music. The trip was part of a contest put together by The Korea Tourism Organization. Winners were selected from a pool of over a thousand submissions.
Canadian blogger Gregory Curley launched his site Hermit Hideaways as a way of sharing his travel experiences. He is largely attracted to Korea’s food culture and thinks the country as a whole has a great deal to offer travelers.
“In addition to its incredible landscape, there really is a lot to experience in Korea such as temple stay programs, hiking tours, traditional markets and bustling nightlife.”
His work has also been acknowledged by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. His slogan “Infinitely yours, Seoul” was selected for the city’s newly revised global campaign.
