Despite its nearly 52 million population, South Korea has a relaxed pace that inspires travellers to discover its bountiful beauty. While most visitors see only Seoul or Busan, one of the best places to connect with South Korea’s delights is its central-western, fifth-largest city, Daejeon.
Like most others, I probably never would have stopped in Daejeon had it not been for a two-week house/pet sit there. But I’m so glad the owners chose me. I not only discovered the uniqueness and charm of the city and surrounding region, but I enjoyed exploring its many sights, finding Korea’s only winery, eating way too many delectable Korean delights and getting addicted to Soju like a local.
