Work With Me
Linda Goes East is a Korea-focused travel blog and content platform helping international travelers discover South Korea beyond the usual tourist checklist.
Created by Linda Dunsmore, a German-American travel creator, writer, and long-term Korea resident, Linda Goes East reaches an audience of travelers who are actively planning trips to Korea, looking for authentic local recommendations, unique stays, cultural experiences, food, shopping, family-friendly travel ideas, and practical travel guidance.
I partner with tourism boards, hotels, travel brands, lifestyle companies, restaurants, cultural spaces, and experience providers that are a strong fit for my audience.
Whether you are looking to promote a destination, hotel, tour, product, cultural experience, or service, I create thoughtful, SEO-driven content that helps travelers discover, trust, and book.
