✈ About Hong Diary Travel

Hi, I’m Hong.

A traveler, storyteller, and hidden-gem hunter based in Busan, South Korea.

Ever since I was young, my dream was to become a travel writer. That dream never left me, and Hong Diary Travel is where that dream comes to life.

I travel across Korea and beyond — by ferry, by plane, with family, solo, and sometimes with just a backpack and no plan. From luxury hotels to hidden local restaurants, from extreme adventures to practical travel checklists, I cover it all.

This blog is my travel diary. Real experiences, honest reviews, and everything you need to make your trip unforgettable. Whether you’re planning your first trip to Korea or your tenth adventure in Asia — I hope you find something here that inspires you.

Happy travels, Hong ✈️
