Upcoming Walks

Slow-moving experiences in Busan.

Small groups. Intentional pacing. Routes shaped by weather, season, and observation. All experiences require a short introduction before joining.

Each walk is a scheduled edition of one of our Creative Walk formats — shaped by season, weather, and the people joining that day.

Dates

Founding Group — June 2026

The first two walks are open to a small founding group at no cost. We're building something from the beginning — and we want the right people in the room for the first one. Participation requires a short introduction.

Walk Formats

One-Day Signature Walk

Slow full day · approx. $25–35 USD

Our core experience. A slow-moving day through Busan — walking, local transportation, long pauses, and night movement through the city. Extended breaks throughout. Meals are informal and separate.

Two-Day Immersion

Two days · approx. $60–80 USD

An occasional deeper experience for smaller groups. Two slower days connected by shared atmosphere, changing light, weather, and revisiting the same parts of the city. Accommodation and meals arranged individually.

Midday Pause

During warmer hours, we slow down even more.

Sometimes this means sitting together in a café for a long, unhurried conversation. Other times it means taking simple food to the waterfront — resting in the shade, writing, sketching, or quietly watching the city continue without us.

Sometimes we eat together. Sometimes people wander briefly on their own before regrouping. Meals are intentionally informal — a small local restaurant, convenience-store food near the water, or coffee during the hottest part of the afternoon. Everyone orders and pays individually.

There is no pressure to constantly move.

The pauses are part of the experience.

What to Bring

All June walks are full-day experiences in Busan's summer heat. A 3-hour midday rest is built into every day — come prepared for it.

Your own lunch and snacks

The midday break is 3 hours — plan to eat during this time. Food can also be bought nearby along most routes.

Water — minimum 2 litres

June in Busan is hot and humid. Bring more than you think you'll need.

Ground mat or rest pad

A lightweight mat, picnic sheet, or foldable pad to sit or lie down on during the rest period. Something you can spread on the ground.

Sun protection

Sunscreen (SPF 50+), a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses. Essential for June.

Comfortable walking shoes

You'll be on your feet for most of the day. Sturdy shoes for mountain walks, comfortable shoes for coastal and urban routes.

A detailed preparation list — including route-specific items and clothing recommendations — will be shared with confirmed participants after introductions are reviewed.

Dates are subject to change based on weather, group formation, and seasonal conditions. Confirmed participants are notified directly. New dates are added as groups form.
