My Travel Story

by: Lalet Go Travelling Start Date: Sep 12, 2024 - End Date: Oct 11, 2024
Hello, fellow explorers!
We are Leticia and Laura, two travellers with a deep passion for cultural immersion and meaningful connections. For a while now, we’ve been on a slow nomadic journey, with our latest adventures taking us to the beautiful landscapes and vibrant communities of Busan and its surrounding areas in Korea. We’re not just here to see the sights; we’re here to truly experience life through the stories and wisdom of the people we meet along the way. 
Our travels through Korea, particularly in the Busan region, have taken us through diverse and vibrant landscapes—from the lively streets of Haeundae to the serene temples nestled in the mountains. But it’s the people we’ve met along the way who have truly enriched our experience. We’ve shared meals with locals, learned new skills from artisans, and listened to stories from individuals who embody the spirit of resilience and creativity. These connections have deepened our understanding of Korean culture and the rich heritage that thrives here.
We want to continue this journey, delving even deeper into the cultures we visit by embracing a slower pace and building meaningful connections in Korea. Our goal is to immerse ourselves in the daily lives and stories of the people we meet, documenting the rich cultural exchanges and shared humanity that we experience. This isn’t just a travel journey—it’s a journey of connection, understanding, and discovery, with Korea as our current canvas.
What Makes Our Campaign Unique:
1. **Slow and Meaningful Travel:** We believe in taking the time to truly experience each place we visit. In Busan and its surroundings, we focus on connecting with local communities and understanding their way of life, from the vibrant cityscapes to the peaceful coastal towns.
2. **Celebration of Human Connection:** Our journey is centered around the stories and experiences of the people we meet in Korea. We aim to highlight the diversity of perspectives, traditions, and wisdom we encounter, showing how these connections enrich our understanding of this fascinating region.
3. **A Journey Without Boundaries:** While we’re passionate about sharing our experiences, our focus is on the journey itself rather than on making specific promises. We’re committed to documenting our travels authentically, allowing our supporters to share in the discovery and connection as it unfolds.
How You Can Help:
By supporting our campaign, you’re helping us continue this journey of discovery and connection in Korea. Your contributions will go towards the essential costs of travel and living as we immerse ourselves in the rich cultural tapestry of Busan and beyond. We’ll share our experiences with you through updates, photos, and reflections, inviting you to join us as we explore the beauty and diversity of the people and places we encounter.
Meet Us:
**Leticia**
As an extroverted photographer, I thrive on capturing the vibrant essence of each place we visit. Whether it’s through my camera lens or in conversation, I’m drawn to the stories and experiences that bring Korean culture to life. My love for food, coffee, and outdoor adventures often leads me to the heart of local life in Busan, where I connect with people eager to share their traditions and perspectives, whether it’s in a bustling market or a quiet seaside village.
**Laura**
I’m the quieter half of our duo, with a passion for reading, desserts, and health. My reserved nature allows me to observe and absorb the rich cultural tapestries of Korea, finding beauty in the details, from the intricate designs of traditional hanbok to the peaceful rhythms of temple life. I’m particularly inspired by the stories people share with us, reflecting on the lessons and insights they offer, and capturing these moments through thoughtful writing.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we can celebrate the richness of culture, the power of human connection, and the discoveries that transcend borders.
