KOREA: WAYWARD SUN!
... that likes to do things on a whim i.e.: not book hostels in advance, take rides from strangers and truly attempt to integrate into the culture, if you will.

The first test was after I arrived in Seoul, the capital city and home to over 10 million. Heading downtown with a backpack on and no ...
