Receive Weekly Snail Mail from different corners of Korea
Join me on a 5-week journey through Korea in fall!
Each week, I'll send you a letter and little gifts, curated from a different, mystery part of Korea!
These are NOT fictional letters- they're written, by me (not AI), on my trip, about my trip (and other things related to Korea) specially for the members of this Snail Mail Club, and posted in real time, as I wander around.
Spots are limited because I’ll be packing, decorating, and mailing these by hand while traveling.
Snail mail isn't as scalable as Substack, unfortunately! But isn't that the charm of it?
Hosted by a Korea travel creator who has helped almost 300,000 people plan their Korean trips in the last year!
(This is my 10th!)
What do you receive?
You will receive 5 hand-packed, individually decorated envelopes, sent from Korea in October & November 2026 (1 per week.)
Each will contain:
- A letter sharing more about the part of Korea I'm in for the week: from recipes for regional specialties to local myths and travel tips for planning your own Korean adventure.
- 1-3 gifts (usually paper goods like stickers, stationery, postcards, bookmarks etc)
- A SURPRISE!
- A Korean recipe or craft instructions card
- A link to a curated Spotify playlist
Note: The letters will be a copy of my handwritten letter. 1 lucky member- a different one each week- will receive the actual handwritten version.

FAQs

A snail mail club is a physical mail experience- in which you receive something in your post box that is not an ad or bill! Instead of email or texts, you receive real, beautifully decorated envelopes that you can open, hold, and display.
It is called “snail mail” because it is a return to the slower joy of traditional mail (what people used before emails and WhatsApp!) There's the anticipation of waiting, the pleasure of receiving a real letter, and knowing someone in a different part of the world is thinking of you. (I should know, because I used to write to 100s of penpals!)
For Love Letters to Korea, you will receive 5 letters: 1 for every week I am in Korea, each sent from a different corner of the country! Each letter will contain little gifts to brighten your day, and make you feel like you're journeying through Korea with me,

Anyone who is:
- fascinated by the idea of receiving REAL MAIL
- interested in Korea
- wants to gift a friend or family member who loves K-pop, Korean dramas, or even Korean food!
-
Letters will be sent on the 8th of October, 14th of October, 21st of October, 28th of October, and 3rd of November.
Depending on where you live, the letters can take anything from 1-6 weeks to arrive! But isn't that the beauty of snail mail? Slowing down to just appreciate the journey of anticipating something!
