South Korea is such a beautiful country, and I still have so much to explore! After graduating with a degree in Environmental Science, I became really interested in learning about environmental movements here. Last month, I discovered an environmental NGO (non-governmental organization) in a nearby city by searching on the internet. NGOs are groups separate from the government that are usually non-profits and focus on humanitarian or social issues.
For Earth Day, I joined the group to plant trees in a city park! Initially, I was a bit confused because the event was in Korean, but luckily, some of the participants knew enough English to help me out. It's important not to feel discouraged by language barriers when traveling because there are many other ways to connect with people. A smile and a helpful hand can go a long way!
Now, let's dive deeper into this unique country and discover how South Koreans interact with their land!
