Seoul, Korea (5D4N)
All those K-Dramas had us wondering—what would it feel like to actually be there?
Our first trip to Korea took us beyond the screen—into vibrant streets, cozy cafés, mountaintop views, and moments that felt straight out of a romance scene. From historic palaces to street food alleys, every day in Seoul felt like a dream you didn’t want to wake up from.
Day 1: A Uni Student Day – Picnic at Hangang River
We started the day exploring the scenic campus of Ewha Womans University, then walked to the lively streets of Hongdae, filled with youth, street performances, and indie shops. In the evening, we relaxed with a picnic by the Hangang River before ending the night under the glowing curves of DDP.
Day 2: A Day in Nami Island
We took a day trip out of Seoul to the beautiful Nami Island, famous for its tree-lined paths and romantic vibes. From bike rides to riverside strolls, the island felt like a scene straight out of a K-Drama. A peaceful escape filled with nature, fresh air, and photo-perfect moments. We also got to try out the Gapyeong Railway Bicycle Park!
Day 3: Traveled 600 years back to the past Gyeongbokgung Palace
We dressed up in traditional hanbok and got free entry into Gyeongbokgung Palace, where history and beauty came together. After exploring the royal grounds, we enjoyed a comforting bowl of ginseng chicken soup nearby. Then, we wandered through the charming Bukchon Hanok Village, before heading up to Namsan Tower to catch a breathtaking sunset over Seoul.
Day 4: Everland – Safari Zootopia & T-Express Roller Coaster
We took the 5002B bus (only 1.5 hours) to Everland, Korea’s largest theme park. Highlights included spotting giant pandas, a fun Safari World ride, and the iconic T-Express wooden roller coaster. Our adventure was cut short as Shan wasn’t feeling well, so we headed back early to rest up at the hotel.
Day 5: Seoul Citywalk – Life as a Korean
We spent our last day exploring the stylish streets of Gangnam, including Samseong-dong, Gangnam Station, Sinsa-dong, and the iconic Starfield Library. A rainy afternoon turned into a race against time—we got squished in the metroduring rush hour and nearly missed our flight! A chaotic but unforgettable end to our Seoul adventure.
