Slow Travel Inspired by
Korea’s
Jeju Island
Jarrod and Emma Hall, Hidden Lanes creators spent 9 years in South Korea, and during that time created video content and a slow travel guide to Korea’s Jeju Island. The journey was a walking or cycling route that included beautiful scenery, funky cafes, art galleries and nature. They made a film about the journey, that was featured in the Korean Expat Film Festival and World Bicycle Film Festival. They were inspired to make something similar for Indonesia where Emma’s family lives, as well as other slow travel vibe places in the world!
