​Hi, it’s Lee, founder of Honey Trail, a travel agency in Korea, and a tour guide in Seoul. 😊
I was born and raised in Seoul and have lived in five different countries: Canada, the US, Australia, Russia, and Germany. I also 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, 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 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

A few years ago, I started my own travel agency, operating hiking and city tours. Most of my tours focus on food and hiking. Now I can hike more often, enjoy great food with travelers full of laughter, and practice calligraphy every day, which I also love.
I’m definitely happier now. 💕☺️
If you visit Korea, please contact me! I’d love to show you my hometown, especially if you love nature and good food too.
Thank you for reading. Hope to see you in Korea! 😊
