    I just want to tell you how much my husband and I enjoy your channel. Every night at dinner we sit down with one of your videos while we eat our dinner and watch your adventures in Seoul and elsewhere. I am especially enjoying your van series, and we LOVED your random subway adventures. We love how you always are able to find a little 'jewel' when you are exploring. We can tell you put a lot of love and thought into your videos, their editing, and the precious moments of your life spent together. I look forward to you expanding your channel and putting out more content, so we can keep enjoying our dinner moments with you. May your lives together continue to be happy and lovely. My husband is Canadian living in Ontario, and I am an American exported to Canada. Your dual culture marriage makes me happy.....

      @jeannettequinnbisbee4754 wow thanks so much for this nice comment and for your support! We're very humbled to hear that you watch our videos like that! I think we are going to try doing some random adventures in the van as well that will be similar to the subway series very soon too. Don't know how well it will go, but there are usually some interesting things to discover everywhere so hope we stumble upon more interesting things! All the best to you both with good health and happiness!

    This channel should be essential viewing for anyone planning on moving to Korea in the future.
    Seoul cafes and trending beauty products are good and all, but there is an entire, amazing country beyond that doesn’t get anywhere near enough attention online

    You are such a great ambassador for Korea. All your videos has always made me wanting to visit this country again although I have been doing so for the last 2 yrs plus 2024. Already planning for next year to finish all the official bike trials. Been following you from your series of biking the various ‘kangs’. While been a cyclists, who knows may just pick up trekking. Keep up you great work!

Happy cycling and take care eh!

It's such a fun hike, and I'm sure they fixed it but the very top on the cliffs used to be really scary because the guard railing was so short that it was really easy to fall off haha. Hope you had an amazing time!

    Love the bike trail in the middle of the highway, now that’s awesome 🤩 I totally agree, South Korea has beautiful mountains 😊 and yes I too am hopeful fingers crossed 🤞🏽 that one day the North and South agree to unite as did East and West Germany when the wall was torn down. Probably the many rock piles you encountered represented deceased family and friends that lived in the area years ago and it was a symbol of a memorial to them, that’s just my thoughts 💭. Thanks for sharing another great vlog 😊 sending lots and love to you both from NYC 🗽🇺🇸 to beautiful South Korea 🇰🇷🥰

    • @lostthenfound
      @lostthenfound  7 днів тому +1

      @classickdramaclips thanks so much! Korea has a similar chain called Spo Any Fitness and I think the membership is about 360,000 KRW ($257.47 USD) per year. Would be cheaper than our current method of using the public gyms every 2nd day for about 3,000 KRW ($2.15), but we often end up parking in places that aren't super close to them. The crock pot is also something we really want to try adding in someday! Would be awesome to try out some different stews!

    • @ICDeadPeeps

      I would highly recommend looking into Trazy. If it's your first time traveling to Korea, they make things a lot easier for English speaking foreigners by taking a lot of the logistical headaches/nightmares out of the equation.
      For example, it's incredibly hard, if not impossible, to reserve an Express bus online without a domestic Korean credit card without using a intermediary service like Trazy. They also offer both group tours and private (more expensive) tours all throughout Korea.

      @mach1neg thank you so much! Wow that's great to hear, and really awesome that you will be exploring the countryside too!
      We loved Geojin Beach (거진해수욕장) in this video which isn't too far from Sokcho (속초) that's also worth checking out to see Seoraksan National Park (설악산국립공원).
      Then on the South in addition to Busan I've heard Geoje-do (거제도) is amazing, and Namhae (남해) is definitely worth seeing.
      Midland we love Hwangmaesan (황매산) in Hapcheon-gun (합천군) which you can hike up the peak through the flowers to get some nice views. Songnisan (속리산) is also a nice hike with a cool temple at the bottom of it.
      West Coast check out the Gogunsan Islands (고군산도), Anmyeon-do (안면도), and I've heard great things about Byeonsanban-do Park (변산반도국립공원) but I've never been there.
      Hope you have an amazing trip!
