Hi Living in Another Language readers!  I'm Casey and I blog over at True Colours, documenting my love of travel and all things Paris.  My husband, Nick and I do a lot of traveling for work and for fun and while I'm writing about our adventures, he's documenting them with gorgeous photos, many of which I share on the blog.

I'm so excited to be here today guest posting for Amanda, whose blog I recently found and have fallen in love with.  So thanks for having me!

I've traveled to a lot of places and many have touched me deeply, but perhaps one place very close to home for Amanda that's been a big part of my life is South Korea.  I work for a company that has an office in Seoul and I've visited many times for work.  In that time, I fell in love with the Korean people, with the lovely city of Seoul and the gorgeous landscape that South Korea offers.

For me, Korea was a place of self discovery.  I happened to travel there numerous times while in my early twenties, a time when I happened to be in a long distance relationship (with Nick who became my husband), and at a time in my life when many things were in flux.  Korea taught me so many things and my time there will always be a treasured memory, but perhaps the most important thing it showed me during my time there was love.  I was welcomed so lovingly into the Korean culture, treated with so much respect and felt totally comfortable and safe.

I've said before that Seoul helped heal my soul, pun intended, in a time when I needed it most and Korea for me was and is a place of deep connection, a country that is beautiful inside and out.  So today, since this is so appropriate here on Living in Another Language, is my ode to Korea, a place that changed me and helped me find myself along my journey around our world.
