Gazing out at Seoul’s towering skyline is like staring at a wall of windows

The view is beautiful, and I love finding patterns within the architecture.

In between filming Lost in Korea, I’ve spent more than two weeks wandering around Seoul.

This photo essay is my tribute to the stunning buildings that make it one of my favorite capital cities in the world.

GET LOST IN KOREA

In 2013, I was hired by National Geographic to film a TV show in South Korea … following my adventures as a travel blogger and photographic storyteller.

The single-episode show offered a mix of humor, tradition, adventure and stunning imagery; as I teamed up with Jesse Day: a Canadian entertainer who lives in Seoul and raps in Korean.

Here are the highlights from filming Get Lost in Korea …
