Korea's Best Selling Author Has a Secret 🇰🇷

[@georgiakerr333]

Dan I love when you include random conversations with locals. I learn so much about culture, the language, the history, and so much more. I’m so excited for my trip to Korea in spring. I sent some of your videos to a group chat of other girls who will be traveling to Korea the same time as me. I’m sure they’re going to learn just as much as I’ve learned. I don’t want to experience Korea the way so many people do. At the surface level. I really want to immerse myself and learn as much as possible. I’m going for 3 weeks so I’m super excited to learn about Korea as a whole. It’s so tiring watching everyone just go to the same tourist spots. I really want to just wander and discover. That’s why I admire your videos so much. It’s so laid back but at the same time it’s super educational and fun. Love it Dan 🩷

[@whereisdan]

thanks for sharing my videos with your friends ! :D means a lot and thanks for the nice words :D

You're a true traveler, interacting with the locals and getting a small peek into their lives. I really wish I can come out of my shell and be more like you!

[@whereisdan]

You can, just go for it! Nothing matters. We're spinning on a rock, flying through the universe, no idea where we've come from or where we're going. Who cares? I don't. The only think we keep in this life and the next are memories.

I understand what you say about not being able to eat at those restaurants by yourself. When I am in Seoul, unless I meet up with my friend, many times I ended up eating KFC or Burger King near my hotel.

I literally grew up right there near the view of Seoul Arts Center at 14:27. Recently started watching your channel when you were interviewing the photographer, and catching up other videos ever since. I lived in Seocho go from 90 to late 90s, then moved to U.S. Made a first come back in 2019, and walked the areas for hours. I so remember that street from my childhood. Every buildings and stores are changed since it had been 20yrs, but that street and the Seoul Arts Center was exactly the same. From my last visit in 2019, I noticed north of the Han river is more rich in culture which I didn't know since I was in my teen. Therefore, I assumed you would be filming most in those area. So glad to show me the view. It makes me wanna go visit again. Fyi, I graduated high school near Flushing, Queens since it was mentioned in the video:)

[@whereisdan]

I made a video in Flushing Queens and we ate in a Korean restaurant 'WE RUN NYC'

[@포로리-h4s]

Your video made me think a lot of thoughts! Because I would watch one of middle ages korean guy opinions, and thought about reunification between north and south. Your video gave me inspiration. Anyway, thank you for showing up daliy life of Korea! 감사합니다! ❤

You cannot drive another person's car or autobike 'cause the insurance doesn't cover you unless it's rental one which covers random drivers. Plus, if you don't have a valid driver's license in Korea, the person who let you drive can get severely charged and will bear the entire cost of damage that might have resulted from your driving. 13:03 Ajossy made the right choice not to let you drive.

[@whereisdan]

ok

[@VideoGamesExplained200]

What’s good Dan. Been watching you from a while mate, I’m also from The North and you inspired me to go Travelling. Just went to Pakistan last month to Climb the legendary Himalayan Mountains. Honestly the view was something else. And I got to eat Pakistani Food, which honestly tastes the same as Indian food, but you can’t go wrong. Keep inspiring people to explore.
