Hello friend all around the world.
Hm.. what do I say to this grand opening? Maybe, I start with talking about my story.
I am Juno, born and raised in Seoul, Korea. For those who don’t know where that is, try this
..
got it? 
I named my blog “Runaway Juno” after my name, but I am not actually ‘runaway’ from anything.
Since I took a first step into the world of ‘backpacking’, I knew this is going to be a big part of my life. And, I was right. If you are meant to be with something, there’s a sign you can’t describe it by words. That is travel to me.
Recently, I became a career breaker. Escape from the cubic farm, I am living my own life as a full time traveler and a full time blogger. It’s a tough job! Two things at the same time… but, I’m loving every second of it.
I opened Runaway Juno for sharing, learning and keeping up my dream of traveling the world. Because it is a part of my life. The joy, thrilling moments, excitement, adventure and most of all, the life.
I have to thank so many great bloggers out there now. They taught me, inspired me and made me intimidated a little but most of all I really appreciate to them. You know who you are!
Well, what can I say.
Let the journey begin!!

I like the map- now I know the correct name for the “East Sea”! Love the redesigned site and look forward to following your adventures
@Leslie
Yeees! It’s East Sea! So remember that! haha
Thanks. Still many modifications to do though. But I think it’s better than before!
Hi Juno
I have never been to south Korea and am planning to go on a trip next march. I am into photography, landscape basically and would be grateful if you could suggest some places which will be a landscape photographer’ delight. I am an amateur. Thanks.
Hi Juno
Greetings from China. I’ve only ever met one Korean female backpacker in all my travels (Sumatra, Indonesia, 1998) so nice to see another woman breaking tradition from the group tour mentality.
I’ve spent much time in Korea over recent years; and love it. Especially Seorakan, Seoul, & all the small southern islands.

Hi Sarah
Hope you like Korea-
Thanks for the kind words.
I just visited your blog, you’ve lived here for a long time!
Travel safe- and keep in touch.
I don’t remember my very first flight or second flight. The 1st was when I was 3 and I flew to Panama with my family to live there, the second was when I was 7 and I flew from Panama to Kentucky when we were moving again. The first flight I remember was from Virginia to Austin. My sis and I were flying alone to spend the summer with my aunt and uncle and cousin for the summer, I was 12 and I remember being really impressed with myself for flying alone and taking care of my little sister!

Thank you! Glad you like it.
Hi Juno,
Travelling is my passion too.. All the best in your journeys to come..
안녕하셰요 주노!
In preparation of launching my own blog this coming July I´ve been searching online for some popular travel blogs. I was really thrilled to find a blog from a Korean traveler amongst the top of the list. I´ve taught English in Korea for several years and it´s my home away from home. I´m likely coming back again in the fall as my 18 month backpacking trip is soon coming to an end. Anyhow, my website is just getting started and I plan to launch it officially in July. In the meantime, I´m gathering my photos and posting lots of videos on youtube. One of my most recent videos is taking the train in India: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYPniMRrSMY
Anyhow, glad I found your site and I will be coming back more often to check out your latest posts.

Enjoyed your blog. Kinda miss Korea. And I certainly don’t meet many Korean backpackers though I do notice Korean a whole lot more in the movies. Yes Man anyone?

Thanks Steven. Were you in Korea? Hope you enjoyed the country. Which part were you in?
I didn’t meet many Korean backpackers either. Proud to be one of not many. And I remember Yes Man. He did good!
Yep, I was in Korea for a year doing what most other backpackers do in Korea do: teaching English. Absolutely loved it. Even made a movie with my class that played the Made in Busan Film Fest. Sure, by the end I was ready to try something different, but I’m happy I went to Korea and not some other country. I lived in Busan but was able to travel all over Korea. I’m really considering going back.
