A Letter from Seoul
I am the
Seouler
Seouler
I am the Seouler.
나는 서울러입니다.
Everyday Voyager
someone who treats their own city like a destination — turning the everyday into discovery, wherever they happen to be rooted.
자기가 사는 도시를 여행지처럼 대하는 사람. 뿌리내린 곳에서, 매일을 발견으로 바꾸는 사람.
Rooted, but restless — in the best way.
여행에서, 나는 가장 살아있는 나를 만났다.
It was my first time abroad alone — Macau, then Hong Kong. Somewhere in those unfamiliar streets, I found a version of myself I loved: curious, awake, unafraid. Then I came home, and within days she was gone. Back to the same routines, the same quiet dullness.
So I asked myself a question. What if the problem wasn't the trip — but the way I was looking at my own life?
Seoul is on someone's dream list right now. A place people long to visit but can't. And I live here. So I decided to stop waiting for the next trip, and start treating my own city like the destination it already is.
Live where you are, like a Seouler.
당신이 있는 그곳을, 서울러처럼 살아보기를.

I have gone back to my mother's family home every summer of my life. I had never once counted it as travel.
엄마의 고향집에 평생 여름마다 갔다. 그런데 나는 그곳을 여행이라고 세어본 적이 없다.
서울에서 보내는 편지, 당신의 메일함으로.
For anyone who lives here, dreams of it, or just wants to see the everyday differently.
