I had a chance to act like a Korean princess, wearing a hanbok, in Gyeongbok Palace recently. This was something I was dreaming to do and I finally did it~ Where to Rent a Hanbok There are many Hanbok rental stores near Gyeongbokgung with similar pricings. The hanbok I wore was from Hanbokplus (한복더하기). To get… Read More Wearing a Hanbok in Gyeongbokgung
Petite France & the Garden of Morning Calm are both located in the Gapyeong area and can be visited on the same day as Nami Island. The easiest way to get to both places is to take the Gapyeong Shuttle Bus. It costs 5000 KRW for the whole day so it’s quite worth it.

Nami Island (남이섬) is definitely one of the most common day trips to make when you are in Seoul. The island got popular because of Winter Sonata, a Korean drama, that used the island as the drama set. Nami island is actually a separate republic from South Korea. They declared their independence in 2006 but don’t… Read More Day Trips from Seoul: Nami Island
After going to Gwangju and Boseong, on the last day of our trip, we explored Yeosu and Suncheon at the very Southern part of Korea. We woke up to a beautiful bright weather in Yeosu and headed out at 9AM. Here’s where we what we did that day.
After going around Gwangju on our first day, our group was sent to take the Boseong City Tour bus from Gwangju U-Square Bus Terminal. I think it’s really cool that there are such services taking visitors around other nearby smaller cities from a major city like Gwangju in a convenient and easy way. Boseong isn’t the… Read More Visiting Jeolla Province: Boseong
Our third WOW Korea trip this time was to Jeolla Province on the South-West region of South Korea. Our first destination was Gwangju City, around 3-4 hours away by bus from Seoul. Here’s the list of places that we went to in our day there:
Most of you have probably heard of Incheon – not as a city but rather as the airport you’ll arrive in if you are visiting Seoul. The airport is named Incheon International Airport because it is actually located in Incheon, a neighbouring city of Seoul. I went to Incheon City last week with my parents… Read More Day Trips from Seoul: Incheon
If you’ve ever been to Seoul, you’ll probably have taken the bright green metro line (line 2) at least once. This line is unique due to its circular shape and because there are many points of interests and attractions that you can visit by taking just this line in Seoul. I will be breaking the… Read More Going Around Seoul Metro Line 2
If you’ve been following my blog posts or youtube channel, you would probably realize that I make posts about my WOW Korea trips. I haven’t had a chance to actually write a post about what the program is all about because (1) I wasn’t really sure what was it about until I joined the trips… Read More About WOW Korea Supporters
Yangju is definitely not a popular day trip destination from Seoul, even amongst the locals. However, because of Rufustory‘s beautiful photos in Yangju’s Flower Garden (양주 나리공원) , I decided to make a short visit to the unknown city with a local friend just to take some photos and the Garden was definitely worth the trip.
