Dear Love,

It’s been some time since I’ve written to you.

I haven’t forgotten. You are still in my heart and dreams.

But life doesn’t always go just as we predict.

Well, I couldn’t be with you this fall, but I’m sending my mother to you instead ( via a Korean Drama Tour)! 

Please be good to her.

This is her first solo trip completely away from her family, so she’s very nervous. 

Try not to be too spicy …

too cold

…or too weird.

Please Ms. Ajumma, be abnormally kind vs your normal pushy and rough self. 

Patbingsu, I know it’s not your season, but she’s going to come looking for you anyways.

Fall, just continue to spread your Technicolor love across the landscape, while also bearing the seasonal fruits I’ve fallen for.

Korea, just continue to surprise her with your quirky and charming self

… And pretty please, send her a hot Hallyu (aka Korea’s Hollywood) star sightings so she’ll bring back stories and smokin’ photos for her GRRRL TRAVELING daughter… whom ironically, must live vicariously through her at the moment.

Let her experience all the reasons, which make me love solo travel and you!

Until,

GRRRL TRAVELER
