Have Done Will Do

Let me explain myself. My friend Sean and I had everything covered. We knew where we were, where the bus driver was going to pick us up and the time he was going to pick us up, too. Like I said, we had everything covered.

We were worried about the bus finding us and certainly didn't want to pay to high taxi fare to get back into town. We had two options: wait for the bus or hitchhike.

I've never hitchhiked in my life, but have always kinda wanted to. It's not on my Will Do list, but it should've been. I'm not sure why exactly but I always considered it a fun thing to do. I guess I'm attracted to the ambiguity of the situation. You never quite know what to expect. You never know quite exactly where you will end up. And, considering that I'm in Korea, its a pretty safe place to give it a try.

Well, after waiting for the bus for over 30 minutes, and realizing that it probably wasn't coming back our way, we decided to go with the flow and gave it the ole college try.

To our amazement, and after a only a few minutes, we were shocked that a car actually stopped. Even better, the two dudes were on their way to the top of the nearest mountain. They had their gear on and were ready for a climb.

Sean and I were ready for anything.




We scaled our way to the top of the nearest mountain and took some pretty incredible overview pictures of Jindo. Even better, we got to see the old Korean homes that surrounded the area. It felt as if we had went many years back in time.  Everything was incredible and awe inspiring. The fact that it was completely by chance made it even more so.

On our descent, and what we thought would be an easy ride back into the city, we once again stopped. This time we went to Unlimsambang--a historic site with old Korean homes and art.




Our day ended shortly after this. We got a ride back into town after we were originally picked up and headed towards Gwangju, our home town.

Sean went on his way to do what he does best--being a mysterious badass. I never know what this guy is up to.

I, on the other hand, went back with my beautiful girlfriend and ate dinner with her and her family, which is a story all of its own...

Currently on the bus and heading towards Damyoung with my beautiful girlfriend. 

A few friends and family members were curious about the magazine I was working with. So, to make it easier, I'm going to post here and let the world know!!

I gotta say, I'm pretty excited and proud about this.

A few days a week, I get to talk about sports on the radio. While I mostly talk about Korean sports, I do also cover international sports as well. My quick spot on City of Lights--the program name hosted by Michael Simning--also gives me the chance to promote community athletic events. This allows people the opportunity to meet others and be active.

I also promote community athletics through Athletic Supporters, which we also talk about on the radio. My time at GFN has been brief so far, but I love it. After my Gwangju days are over (who knows when that'll be), I look forward to staying on the radio and talking sports, community and travel.

The experience I have gained is invaluable, interesting and unbelievably fun!!

Listen to GFN!.

Tell me what you think.

I appear on the show at 6:45pm (Seoul time).
