I’d recommend not bringing too many things — just one backpack. Bring a small amount of cash (you can spend it at the seafood market — they have amazing fresh and dried seafood 🙈). The T-money card works there, so you won’t have any problems getting around. 🙂

This trip was one of my best memories from my first journey around Korea. I highly recommend it — and that’s how my day went! 🌿 Beautiful views, great weather, delicious food — and most importantly, it’s all affordable. Through these trips, I discovered a different side of Korea — not just the skyscrapers and historical landmarks, but a country with truly breathtaking natural beauty. 🌸
