Moon Seoul by Jonathan Hopfner

Hopfner outlines entertaining travel strategies for exploring Seoul, including A Walk Through History, Nature in the City Limits, and Seoul with Children.

Born near Vancouver and raised in Montreal, Canada, Jonathan Hopfner graduated with a degree in English literature from Dalhousie University in Halifax. He was first lured to South Korea in the late 1990s when he parlayed some early stabs at writing into a position with a newspaper in Seoul, launching a journalism career that has since taken him to Bangkok, Singapore, and Hong Kong. As interesting as all these places were, Jonathan was racked with nostalgia for the rolling mountains, bustling cities, and bold cuisine of South Korea, and in 2008 he jumped at the chance to return. The country's sprawling capital, Seoul, has been his home and a consistent source of inspiration ever since. Even after years of exploring its markets, alleyways and mountain paths--and regularly taking advantage of its around-the-clock dining and nightlife opportunities--he has yet to run out of new things to discover. Jonathan works for the Reuters news agency and has contributed articles on culture and travel in South Korea and elsewhere in Asia to publications such as Canada's Globe and Mail, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, and Wallpaper* and DestinAsian magazines. He is also the author of Moon Living Abroad in South Korea.
