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.
