Deux Cremes - Dessert for Breakfast! Our first stop today was a dessert shop called Deux Cremes just down the street from our AirBNB on Garosu-gil Road. Suzy wanted to visit this place which was visited by a popular celebrity. Since it was so close, we figured why not have Dessert for breakfast?! We each ordered a slice of cake and I got smoothie as well! It was a very stylish spot and I can...

Gunsan We had a unique day planned today. We were going to make use of our Pyeongchang rail pass and take a train down to a smaller city along the west coast of Korea. Gunsan would be our destination today. This part of our trip was inspired by a Korean travel show called Battle Trip. On this show a K-Pop girl group went on a very cool day trip to Gunsan and we wanted to emulate their itinerary....

Gangneung Our plan today was to head back to the Gangneung and explore in and around the city since we didn't get much of a chance to do that yet.

The first airbnb we stayed at was actually on top of a...

We also had a K-Pop awards show to attend back in Seoul in the evening.  Since we already had a chance to watch a mountain event in the form of the half pipe. But we hadn't had a chance to visit the Olympic plaza area so we planned to...

First Few Days in Korea (Travel woes, Olympics and Golden moments!)

Flying to Korea All my bags were packed and I was ready to go to Korea! I'd like to have said that getting checked in and through to the gate went without a hitch, sadly this time it didn't! I'd like to have said that the airline caused this unneeded stress at the beginning of an amazing trip, but it wasn't. Unfortunately, this time it was all me. I made a silly mistake when booking and checking...

Planning for Korea

ByMinion-Chris January 31, 2018 0 Comments
In February, I'll be travelling with a friend to South Korea! This trip was something that'd we'd been talking about for over a year and as time passed it started to come to fruition. For my friend, he's been to Korea a few times and has continually grown very fond of their culture. I was super impressed when he learned how to speak Korean and how much he has familiarized himself with the...
