My name is Mark, I love traveling, a former archaeologist and a huge history nerd. I am originally from Europe but I moved to New York City 15 years ago. I have been living in Seoul for close to two years now. I really enjoy exploring this city and at this point I know hundreds of cool places to visit or see in this city.
