[TEMPLE ADVENTURES] Beopju Temple should be at the top of anyone's travel itinerary
I've been twice bitten while visiting Beopju Temple before. In 2011, the batteries in my old camera ran out and then a lightning storm struck. Then in 2015, I visited the temple with a less-than-enthusiastic travel companion who wanted to wrap things up to see something more “exciting.” So this third time around this past summer, I made sure that the skies were clear, the bat...

I came to Jeju Island on Dec. 19, 2020. I was accompanied by my dog Miracle and the man I thought I would marry. On Dec. 29, 2022, I left, alone. During this time, I completed the Olle Trails, and healed three inner wounds I hadn't even realized I had.

[RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK] Braai Republic celebrates South African cuisine
A taste of Africa in Korea, Braai Republic serves South African barbecue, hand-made sausages and homemade meat pies. Way back in 2006, expat rugby players in Seoul started making biltong and boerewors (South African air-cured jerky and sausage) for their post-game get-togethers, which led to food festivals, online sales and then co-founders Roddy Bancroft and Chris Truternow ...

[LIFE'S OLLE TRAILS 11] Worrying about comments section chaos
Want to know another secret? I considered cutting the entire last section of this series, talking about IVF treatments. It seemed too intimate to publish. The face-to-face comments had stung, but I suspected the anonymous online comments would be a toxic typhoon of misogyny.
