Life in South Korea Is Completely Different, and These Pics Tell You Why

Often when we plan to travel somewhere, we think of the most famous places that tourists usually go to. However, there are a ton of places around the world that are quite underestimated but actually are worth your attention. Therefore, we want you to meet this couple who have been traveling the world and documenting their adventures. Hammer and Guillaume share their adventures on their blog and Instagram. On one of their posts they mention living in South Korea.

This couple has been living there for 3.5 years. The whole idea of living in a country that continues to develop, but on the other hand remains a bit unknown was quite exciting for the couple.

Their fame is outstanding, and yes these countries are definitely in the must-visit list. However, there are quite some reasons to visit South Korea as well.

Scroll down below to see a list of reasons why you should give this country a visit. Let us know if you find something that South Korea has/does that you wish you had it in your country.
