Korea Jewel Allen

With candid stories, vivid photography and mouthwatering recipes, take a journey through Korea with award-winning journalist, author and avid traveler Jewel Allen.

It's May of 2019. My husband Drew is back in Seoul after 30 years, when he served for two years as a church missionary. This time, he's brought me and our three children. Many of the buildings he used to pass are no longer here, replaced by gleaming high-rise towers.

The grandma who used to chastise young women with too short of skirts is no longer there. A building erected during the Japanese occupation is gone. The sidewalks now have a raised linear pattern to guide the blind. Smart little restaurants that cater to young professionals have popped up in place of dives. The Seoul Drew knew has changed, but the love he has for this special place hasn't.
