Day 11 – Suwon Fortress and Korean Cultural Village This was one of my most anticipated day trip to Suwon and the Korean Cultural Village. And also finally getting to dig in the Korean Fried Chicken experience (which didn’t turn out too well) Suwon Hwaeseong Fortress 수원 화성 First began with the train trip to…
Day 9 – Shopping Craze and B-Boys! This was one of the simplest day – just shop, eat, and repeat! I had a little craving that day and was thinking a lot about this Nakseo Pajeon that had raving reviews on many blogs out there. It was a little out of the way, outside of…
After the hectic week of running across South Korea for sights, finally, I headed for vibrant city, Seoul, and my final destination! I had a total of 5.5 days here. But for this first part, which is just a half day itself, I felt like I had stuffed plenty of stuff which is a little…
Next up, Jeonju Hanok Village! Headed there from Gwangju, I had a one night stay in the village of traditional structure and immersed into the old cultural feels! Along the way, was all about indulging in food, people watching, and randomly hopping into open museum and such.
In the city of Gwangju, I hadn’t much sightseeing to do, but only included a visit to Songjeong market, some watching-out for architecture along the way. My main focus was actually on the 5.18 Gwangju Uprising event. Additionally, on my trip so far, I had gotten 2 similar recommendation when I spoke to travellers or…

Still based in Busan, I would be going on a day trip to Jinhae – famed for its abundance of cherry blossom and scenic takes – a place you surely can’t miss in the Korea’s Spring Festive. Another highlight at Jinhae would be temple visiting – I was very much excited to go for Sammilsa…
In this post, we continue on from our journey from Cheongdo to Busan where I would stay for about 4 nights. First day of Busan I had initially planned Gamcheong Cultural Village, Busan Racecourse Track, BIFF square, Gukje Market, Bupyeong Market. Things did not go as expected – but I had an unexpected additional visit…
Here is the first part of my 14 days solo travel to South Korea in late March to April 2018 – gonna start with exploring Daegu! Daegu is quite a very laid-back city, and you may wonder what are the things to do in Daegu? I had only a short stay of 1.5 days and…
