Individuals, couples, families—I’ve been guiding international hikers across Korea for 15 years. I know this terrain inside out: how to move, where to stay, what to eat, how life really works beyond the cities. This isn’t a side job. It’s my life’s work. My connection to Korea goes deeper than guiding. I’ve published six books on its mountains, and before COVID-19, my work took me into North Korea to photograph the Baekdu-daegan. Those images became exhibitions across Korea and abroad—from Pyongyang to Kyoto to New Zealand—capturing the peninsula as one landscape, one story. I’ve also worked with MBC Korea on two documentaries about those journeys, and I’m well known within Korea’s hiking community. My trips are multi-day, fully guided adventures: traveling by SUV, hiking new peaks each day, staying in different towns, eating well, and discovering a side of Korea most visitors never see. You’ll get experienced, professional guidance—and something far more personal than a standard tour. Check the South Korea Hikes tab in the menu bar. See my career details here.
