I am Shin Ki-hwan, a guide and docent with 12 years of experience who creates travel and speaks of art. “True travel is not about seeing new landscapes, but about having a new perspective.” – Marcel Proust Travel requires skill, too. However, it is not a special skill. Simply moving beyond mere observation and looking closely with interest completely changes the travel experience, even within the same space. Every year, countless travelers head to the UK, but their travel methods are mostly similar. Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace... But the UK has so much to say that it would be a waste to stop at merely visiting historical sites or landmarks. Just like people, the UK tells completely different stories depending on which aspect you look at. The facilitator of this class, Docent Shin Ki-hwan, has visited the National Gallery and the British Museum as if they were his own home, conducted over 1,000 docent tours, and guided approximately 20,000 travelers through the UK. He is also a so-called "England geek" whose daily routine involves still enjoying the music of British musicians, checking the scores of the previous night's English football matches first thing in the morning, and keeping up with British movies and dramas. That is why he always strives to interpret and view England through his own unique perspective. England is a charming country that satisfies everyone's tastes across various fields, from the home of Shakespeare, the Beatles, and Harry Potter, to the roar of the Premier League, the crispness of fish and chips, and the romance of Big Ben. With Docent Shin Ki-hwan, England will surely feel different, and we will be filled with new stimuli. Let's create a gift-like time together, sharing a love for "travel" and "England," where we can not only deeply understand British history and culture but also fully bring the excitement of travel into our daily lives.
