Help us shape the future of Mosaic Tours!
Me & Korea is gauging interest and feasibility in a new Mosaic Regional Tour, potentially launching in the fall of 2026. The tour would feature travel to a specific region in Korea, exclusively for Korean adoptees with a tie to that region, in the hope of further supporting birth family searches and forging a deeper connection with Korea. The tour would be open to Mosaic Tour alumni, as well as those who have not participated in any Me & Korea tours.
To help us gauge interest, please complete this survey about the Mosaic Regional Tour. In 2026, we are considering Daegu as our regional focus for the inaugural tour.
More details and a Q&A about the potential Mosaic Regional Tour may be found below!
Q: Who would the Mosaic Regional Tour be for?
The essential requirement for applicants of the Mosaic Regional Tour is a connection to the selected region—whether they were born, found, lived there, or believe their family members are from the area. This information will be provided in writing at the time of application. Depending on the number of applications received, a selection process may be necessary. In that case, factors such as the applicant’s background and how they may benefit from the tour will be considered.
Q: Would the Mosaic Regional Tour be open for Mosaic Tour alumni?
Yes, this program would be open to Mosaic Alumni!
Q: If an adoptee was not accepted to the annual summer Mosaic Tour, could they apply for the Mosaic Regional Tour?
If they are not selected for the Mosaic Tour, adoptees may apply for a regional tour in the same year. Or, they may choose between the two options in a given year. For some participants, the regional tour may be a more suitable choice.
Q: Would the Mosaic Regional Tour offer birth family search assistance, similar to the summer Mosaic Tour?
Yes, we will provide assistance with birth family searches. We hope to work closely with local media and community networks, particularly in conducting local investigations.
Q: Is the Mosaic Regional Tour the same thing as the Mosaic Family tour?
No. The Mosaic Family tour allows family members of adoptees to join. The Mosaic Regional tour, like the summer Mosaic Tour, is open to Korean adoptees only.
Q: This sounds great! Where can I apply?
We’re so glad you’re excited! The Mosaic Regional tour is only in the planning stages—specifically, we’re assessing interest level to determine feasibility. If there’s not enough interest, we may not offer this tour. The best way to express your interest and excitement is to participate in our survey, which will help us understand your needs and wishes.
Q: If there’s enough interest and the tour does take place next summer, will it become an annual tour in addition to the regular summer Mosaic Tour?
Yes, if successful, we would like to expand the Mosaic Regional tour to other regions such as Busan/Gyongnam, Choongchung, Gangwon, Jeolla, Incheon, and more!
