Introduction
* Destination suggested by Ryan (Staff at KTO Sydney Office, in charge of operations for Australia and New Zealand)
Ryan, a team member at the KTO Sydney with a passion for Korean culture, has spent four years in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do, fully immersing himself in the local lifestyle and exploring the region. His top pick for a Korean getaway is none other than Pyeongchang.
Ryan explains, “Pyeongchang in Gangwon is an ideal spot to connect with nature’s invigorating spirit. While it’s renowned for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and many associate it only with winter sports, Pyeongchang shines all year round with a variety of outdoor pursuits. You can take a dip in the summer waters or hike the green trails. What’s more, for those from Australia, the distinct Korean seasons provide a unique experience—cool off with gentle summer breezes when it’s winter back home, or enjoy Korea’s brisk winter when it’s warm in Australia. It’s a wonderful way for Aussies to enjoy the great outdoors and the varied climate that Korea has to offer.”
