Hi, I’m Mia.
I live in Gangnam and spend most of my time exploring Seoul.
Over the years, I’ve visited countless places. Some were beautiful, some were popular, and many were recommended by others.
But only a few became places I quietly returned to again and again.
This website is my personal collection of those places.
Every place here has earned its place through my own experience. I pay for every visit myself, return because I genuinely want to, and recommend these places only because I would confidently send a close friend there.
Not every place I visit appears here.
If a place no longer feels right, it quietly leaves my collection.
I don’t try to find the “best” places in Seoul.
I simply share the places that have remained part of my life.
Whether it’s a beauty studio, a café, a restaurant, or somewhere else, every place in this collection has one thing in common:
I’m still returning.
I hope this collection helps you discover places you’ll want to return to as well.
— Mia
