Korean Podcast | Is Travel Only Valuable If You Grow?

Travel is often framed as something that must bring personal growth, cultural understanding, or big achievements to be worthwhile. But what if that’s not the full story? In this episode of The Jung Studio Korean Podcast, we question the idea that joy without “productivity” is wasteful.

We discuss the many ways travel holds meaning—from simply resting and enjoying the moment, to standing in awe of nature and history, to experiencing cultural differences that change the way we see daily life. Sometimes the most valuable part of travel isn’t transformation, but a subtle shift in how we appreciate the ordinary.

✨ For learners, we’ve prepared a detailed worksheet including transcript, essential vocabulary, a quiz, and answer key. Please check the above!
