Hi, I’m Laura Jung. I’m a writer and creative from Seoul currently based in New York City. But I’ve also heard I’m an influencer or a tastemaker. My world bridges many things: fashion, beauty and travel, but also the cultural and culinary, so I’m bringing them all together here on Substack.
What is Digestifs?
Digestifs is a weekly newsletter about the expanse of life and my reflections while in the midst of it. It’s about making sense of those experiences common to all of us, or the things I am lucky to be granted an inside view of by way of my career.
Digestifs is an extension of my online presence through a highly personal form. I write personal essays, critiques of culture, shopping and travel recommendations, a little advice--all in the spirit of memoir.
The essence of Digestifs, and the inspiration behind the name, really, lies in my tendency to mull about a lot of things. I never just simply experience things. I'm curious and ever growing, discerning and opinionated. Digestifs captures the contemplative phase after returning home from the chaos of the outside world: pausing and processing before moving on with (hopefully) more clarity.
My goal as a digital creator in this highly saturated space has always been to inspire people to live their best lives. Whether that's been to wear a more daring outfit, or plan the most culturally enriching trip, I have always wanted my community to seek a life that is as beautiful as it is freeing, as aspirational as it is achievable and as rich as it is pleasurable.
Who is Digestifs for?
The ever-curious, worldly and considered person. Someone who, too, navigates life with much reflection and deep digesting. The Digestifs reader enjoys slow mornings and sultry contemplative evenings but packs a lot in between.
