Honey Trail

Hi. It's Lee from Seoul!

Certified tour guide / Certified Korean language teacher

Certified Korean cook (Craftsman Cook, Korean Food)

​Hi, I'm Lee, founder of Honey Trail, a travel agency in Korea, a Seoul-based tour guide.
Born and raised in Seoul, I've lived in five different countries - Canada, the US, Australia, Russia, and Germany - and traveled to over 40 countries.

I studied Business in Seoul, including a year-long exchange program in the US, and completed my MBA in Sydney. After finishing my MBA, I wanted to pursue a career change to become a professor, leveraging my field experience.
I worked as a market researcher, research analyst, and marketer at major companies. It was a highly paid, stable job - what many would call a good life.

But I’ve always preferred being in nature over an office. I hiked Kilimanjaro solo, Annapurna Base Camp solo, Olympus solo, Everest Base Camp, Fuji, the Alps solo, Patagonia, Aguna, and many other mountains worldwide. (By “solo,” I mean literally alone or with a hiking guide, as some countries require one.) I've also led a hiking club for over five years and usually travel overseas more than five times a year to hike their mountains.

Here are some of my highlights
2017 Japan, Fuji 2 days (3,776m)
2017 Nepal, Annapurna Base Camp 6 days (4,130m)
2018 Tanzania, Kilimanjaro Stella Point 6 days (5,656m)
2019 Nepal, Kala Patthar (5,644m) / Everest Base Camp 9 days (5,364m)
2022 Switzerland, Alps Vues du Mont Blanc 4 days (2,970m)
2022 Greece, Olympus 2 days (2,918m)
2023 Mongolia, Altai Tavan Nogd Base Camp 7 days (3,100m)
2025 Chile, Patagonia W Trek 4 days

2026 Aguna, Indonesia (3,042m)

In 2021, I started Honey Trail to combine what I love most: hiking, food, and sharing Korea. Now I hike more, enjoy great meals with travelers, practice calligraphy everyday, and I am definitely happier than before. 💕
If you visit Korea, please contact me! I’d love to show you my hometown, especially if you love culture, nature and good food.
Hope to see you in Korea! 😊
