“NOT AN AD BUT YET
Feel myself lucky enough to find @kelly.today and her travel guide where she not just shares really useful travel tips but also warns about such things which are not normally spoken aloud on official visit-Korea sources. So once again – a huge thanks Kelly.”

“These are all the best tips for travelling in South Korea! I must admit I feel hesitant to visit unless I have a native Korean friend bring me, but this informative post would help me feel much more prepared if I ever went without one. Thanks so much for sharing such valuable insights as always!

Who am I offline?

Kelly is a bit of a daydreamer who loves sharing her passions—travel, lifestyle, fashion, and beauty—with like-minded individuals. You’ll often find her seeking out new places to explore, DSLR in hand. In her free time, she enjoys curling up with a book, chasing sunsets, or relaxing at a café. She also runs a weekly newsletter with an exclusive community of over 6,000 subscribers, where she shares more about her travels, career, and life in between.

If you want to follow her adventures, the best place to do that is on Instagram and her Substack newsletter.

How did it begin?

It all started in 2021. I had just begun my postgraduate studies, juggling part-time jobs and grappling with the feeling that a traditional 9-to-5 life wasn’t for me. This led me to explore opportunities to work abroad, and I stumbled upon teaching in South Korea. I had heard amazing things from friends and university professors about the experience—immersing yourself in the local culture, meeting like-minded people on similar journeys, and having the freedom to travel more.

Fast forward to 2022: after a lot of planning and earning my qualification to work abroad, I moved to Incheon, South Korea. Since then, I’ve transformed my passion for photography and visual storytelling into something more. In my free time, I share my stories, tips, and guides online, growing a community of over 65K followers.
