About Uju Maps

Why did you start making maps?

This all got started when I discovered my love for oysters 🦪. I always assumed I didn’t like them, despite enjoying most other seafood. After slurping down a half-dozen with some friends, I was hooked — similar to how Anthony Bourdain describes it in his book Kitchen Confidential 😂. I quickly went on a hunt for every dollar oyster deal in the Boston area and created a Google Map for myself and other oyster loving friends!

Why Boston & Seoul?

I was adopted from Korea at 3 months old, grew up in MA and lived in the Boston area since 2014. I fell in love with Boston and it remains my favorite US city even after visiting almost every other major US city.

My first trip back to Korea and Seoul was in 2019 to reconnect with my Korean roots and heritage. Since then, I’ve been reunited with my Korean mom and many other extended family members. I visit them in Seoul frequently and have grown to consider Seoul my second home.

Both cities are unique in their own way and offer so much to locals and visitors alike. My hope is that these maps and resources will help others enjoy these two amazing cities as much as I do.

Are these maps and lists free?

All maps are free for my subscribers, but if you want a specific one, shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do 🙂. If you’d like to show your support with a small donation, feel free to buy me a beer (or coffee, or half-dozen oysters 😁). I greatly appreciate any and all support!

What if I have an idea for a new map or feedback on a current one?

Shoot me a short, friendly note at uju@hellouju.com please!

Will there be more cities in the future?

It’s something I’m thinking about! I would need help and support from others living in the area. If you’d like to help participate in making maps for your local city, reach out to me at uju@hellouju.com.
