Who writes this
Three years of living it, and writing down what worked.
Sapmanri is written from a small village in Gapyeong, Korea, where we have been living and recording rural life for three years. What you find here is first-hand: seasonal food and how we store it, things made by hand from what the yard gives us, the garden, and the routines that hold an ordinary day together. If a method is here, it is because we did it.
Discover the Essence of Slow Living
Sapmanri is a slow living blog rooted in the Korean countryside — in a small village in Gapyeong, where the seasons move quietly and every ordinary day holds something worth noticing.
We write about rural life, handmade crafts, home cafe moments, and the gentle rhythm of living close to nature. This blog is the written companion to the YouTube channel 감성찾아삽만리, where the same unhurried stories unfold on screen.
We believe that an ordinary day, lived slowly, is enough. Each post here is an attempt to hold onto that belief — through a cup of tea, a walk through the fields, a craft made by hand, or a cat sleeping in the afternoon light.
If you found your way here, you’re probably someone who feels the same. Welcome.
And if you read Korean: the Korean writing lives separately on Naver Blog. This site is not a translation of it — the two are edited as different channels for different readers.
