Vlogging and blogging about Korea

So, I'm going to jump on the vlogging band wagon and try to create both blogs and vlogs (video blogs for those who are not savvy of internet terminology quite yet) while in South Korea. For the most part, it's going to be for self-enjoyment and for friends and family. Nothing special or nifty. I've been watching a lot of vlogs from others about Korea and I noticed something was missing... Traditional Korean heritage and history! Most of the stuff seems to focus on modern Korean culture and food, but very few focus on the old and traditional, something I am very interested in learning about. It is a part of my ancestry, after all. I have many plans to travel around Korea filming and taking photos of traditional villages and ways of living of many South Koreans. We forget about those who live on farms and the not so Seoul-like villages and towns throughout the country. Hopefully, I can get some footage of stuff like that! 

Another thing I'd like to focus on is Korean wildlife and nature. I have always been a huge fanatic of animals and nature, ever since I was a kid. I was always obsessed with bird watching here in Florida, and just watching the trees sway in the warm ocean or lake breezes. The everglades, although seeming like nothing but a massive expanse of grass at first, is actually quite beautiful and alive once you see it up close. I hope to do something like that for Korea. It's going to be interesting watching and examining a whole new type of nature, because I am sure South Korea's nature and wildlife is radically different than from what we have here in Florida. 

Well, I thought I'd write this post so that I don't forget to do this, because knowing me, I'll get so distracted that I WILL forget. It's going to be my first time doing something like this, so I might not be the best at it at first, but I am sure that with time and patience, and the right equipment, I can make it happen :)
