Ginger Smith

Originally from Kentucky, Ginger moved to Korea in 2019 with her husband and their lovely pets Beanie the Shih Tzu and Chipper the childhood cat. They enjoy cycling and hiking, and finding the sometimes hidden vegan foods of Korea. While living abroad they have been blessed with twin girls who are now toddlers. Ginger studied Merchandising, Apparel, and Textiles at the University of Kentucky and is a licensed nail technician from Summit Salon Academy. Ginger has been a ghostwriter for multiple blogs and is working on one of her own. On her blog, Cottage on Pumpkin, Ginger shares about her family’s travels, crafting projects, cooking and preserving food, and DIY renovations as they build their dream house and homestead. As an author on South of Seoul, Ginger uses her decade’s worth of experience as a vegan to help others navigate the challenges that come with having dietary and lifestyle differences in Korea.
