What we’re about

Welcome to "Your Story Abroad" (YSA)!
Having spent 10 years as an expat in bustling cities like Hong Kong and Manila, I truly understand how precious weekends are when living abroad. You work hard all week, and you don't want to waste a single Saturday or Sunday. That is exactly why I created this group—to make sure you experience the best of Korea while you are here.

Are you tired of spending every weekend in Seoul? Do you want to explore the hidden gems of Korea but don't know where to start? We are a lifestyle community for everyone—expats, students, travelers, and digital nomads. Whether you are here for a month or a year, we turn your weekends into unforgettable stories.

🚴 Meet Your Leaders (The Experts) We are serious adventurers who know Korea inside out.

  • Cho (The Explorer): An triathlon triathlete who cycled 7,000km across Europe. Having lived as an expat in Hong Kong and Manila for 10 years, Cho knows how valuable your weekends are. He founded this group to help you escape the city and recharge in nature. He has summited Mt. Fuji, trekked Annapurna, and knows how to plan the perfect journey.
  • Jay (The Racer): An active MCT (Masters Cycling Tour) athlete and a hiking master who has conquered Korea's major peaks. He ensures every trip is safe, technical, and fun.

🌟 What We Do (Weekly Adventures) We organize various activities to enjoy Korea's nature:

  • 🚴 Cycling: From the Han River to cross-country trails (4 Rivers Path, East Coast Line).
  • 🥾 Hiking: Conquering majestic peaks like Seoraksan, Jirisan, and hidden local trails.
  • 🌊 Summer Vibes: Swimming in the crystal-clear valleys of Gangwon-do, Canyoning in Inje, and Kayaking.
