Hello, I'm Dani born and raised in Korea. History, culture, arts, and stories are the things that interest me and also love traveling, experiencing new things, and meeting new people. Eventually, tour guide telling stories to new people was like a fate to me. I usually work as a private guide with agencies, however, I wanted to meet many others who come to Korea. I hope to meet you soon😁 ❕❗️Even the time slot you want is full, let me know when you want to join, and I’ll try to make a spot for you😄
