Retro in Seoul: A Journey of Taste & Healing

A social trip, or social tourism, prioritizes engaging with local communities, cultures, and individuals over visiting popular destinations or leisure activities. It aims to connect with people, understand their lifestyles, and participate in local activities and projects.

Our main goals are to foster cultural understanding, promote sustainable tourism practices, and support the local economy, while also giving you a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
