Today, we're taking you on a journey through one of the most fascinating and dynamic countries in the world—South Korea. From the bustling streets of Seoul to tranquil temples and breathtaking peaks, South Korea offers a rich tapestry of experiences that blend ancient history with cutting-edge pop culture.

Whether you’re a foodie eager to discover authentic Korean cuisine, a history buff fascinated by the deep past, or someone looking for spiritual enlightenment in the mountains, this episode has it all.

Joining me today are David Mason, a renowned expert on Korean culture and spirituality; Joe McPherson, a food lover and founder of ZenKimchi; and James Jin, an incredible guide who knows how to craft the perfect Korean adventure.

We’ll explore everything from Korean spirituality to the latest in K-pop, share some unforgettable food moments, and uncover the real Korea, far beyond the typical tourist paths.
