The South Korean capital is a fast-paced city. While often overlooked by digital nomads, longtime expats love it
Seoul has fast, reliable internet and a widespread cafe and internet culture that make it easy to always have somewhere to work. The city is clean, efficient and punctual. So is the country’s rail system, meaning you can use your weekends and vacations to explore.
Besides that, few cities in the world can beat Seoul when it comes to nightlife. There are gigantic nightclubs where the soju flows, large party districts and singing rooms for the end of the night. This is also one of the safest places you’ll ever travel to. Oh, and the food is amazing.
However, South Korea is behind in accepting sexual minorities, and people of color report discrimination, though physical violence against either group is rare.
