local_shippingShip to Me
Overview
Greeting Sunrises is a reflective travel narrative chronicling Michael J.D. Roberts' transformative 1,000 km journey along South Korea's coastal trekking paths. Driven to escape academic burnout and rekindle spiritual vitality, Roberts decides to undertake a long walk, choosing the country where he once lived and worked, and where he met his wife. The story of his trip blends the physical rigor of long-distance walking with cultural exploration and quiet introspection. Framed by the Korean Buddhist concept of Su Haeng, the narrative understands walking not as an achievement, but as a disciplined practice of attention and renewal. As he charts the Haeparang Gil and Namparang Gil, Roberts highlights Korea's innovative public spaces while celebrating its rich culinary traditions--from fiery Jjambbong to comforting Sam Gae Tang. Mapping a profound reconnection to self, community, and place, this unique adventure appeals to long-distance walkers, seekers of meaning, and cultural enthusiasts alike.
