Global Traveler – South Korea

Posted on by

I always thought being a travel writer would be the best job in the world. My Little Sis happened to marry a journalist and travel writer, lucky gal! He hasn’t traveled much lately and now does most of his research through phone interviews and such, but one of their first dates was in Tahiti. And on my sister’s birthday too!

You can’t say that didn’t have something to do with her being swept off her feet.

Recently, the BIL asked me for some reflections on my stint in Seoul as a technical consultant. I was giddy to be quoted! In my less than public persona, of course.

The article made me want to visit Seoul again and see how it’s changed in eight years:

Glamourous Life

love_kitI have Fergie’s song Glamorous in my head. I’m sitting in the Hard Rock Hotel for a company meeting and the room is pretty darn schmancy. The honor bar has a Wish Candle and a Love Kit right there next to the salted cashews.

Of course, I’m surrounded by Kleenex and sucking on cough drops. Sick again which is SO not glamorous. The nice hotel lady asked me what music I wanted playing in my room when I arrived and I laughed and said, “I have no idea. No preference.” So they ended up piping some Kurt Cobain. I really should have asked for something more upbeat.

I’m not hip enough for this place. LOL. Now if these were my young and wild days…but nowadays, I just want to be home with hubby to tuck me in.  Am I getting old and jaded?

P.S. I sent the manuscript to Gail! Twiddling thumbs now. Maybe I should live it up and celebrate a little since I’m in this hip venue.

Really, I just want to light that wish candle and hope that a new story idea comes to me.
