Annyeong!

I guess it’s time to say안녕to Korea! You will have a life changing in Korea. There are plenty of places that you can visit in Korea.

1. Get naked at a Jimjibang

Alright, time to suit up… birthday style. Don’t be embarrassed; everyone will be wearing the same thing: nothing! Traditionally, this is where Koreans would go to get cleaned up for the week, but today, Jjimjilbangs have turned into a spa retreat. You can relax in the varying temperature hot tubs or splurge on an exfoliating body scrub.

2. Sing until our voice is gone at a Noraebang

Well, this one has happened quite a few times. Singing rooms — or noraebang — are everywhere in this country and are the perfect way to start (or end) the night with your friends!

3. Go clubbing in Seoul

Seoul is known for its wild nightlife, and it took us the better part of a year to finally experience it. Let’s just say, if we had the choice between clubbing and sampling a flight of micro brews.

4. Go camping… Korean style!

Camping is hugely popular in Korea, but it’s quite different than what you may be used to. Beach camping on Namhae Island with good friends, sunshine, sea kayaking, games, wine, and one tipsy banana boat ride, is a weekend we’ll never forget!

5. Watch the traditional dance at the Andong Mask Festival

The Andong Mask festival is perhaps one of the best festivals of the year, and is well worth the visit. 

6. Wander through the beautiful Boseong Green Tea Fields

This one jumps high on the list. Perfect rows of tea curve with the rolling hills, and fresh mountain air is abundant. You can enjoy green tea ice cream and churros while listening to the gurgling stream and chirping birds.

7. Glimpse North Korea at the DMZ

It’s pretty bizarre how little South Koreans talk about the country directly to the north. Sometimes I think people feel like they can’t help, so they pretend it doesn’t exist. The sad truth, which we discovered, is that less than an hour outside of the bustling, modern city of Seoul, people are living with so little technology, freedom, and knowledge of the outside world.

8. Explore the famous Jeju Island

Many Koreans profess this volcanic island their favorite place in the country. With stunning mountain views and turquoise waters, there’s no question as to why it’s so popular. It can ventured to waterfalls, hiked to the rim of a volcanic crater, and swam in a naturally formed “swimming pool” in the ocean. It was found that Jeju to be a mix of old Korea with aspects of the West. While it was charming and no doubt beautiful.

9. Cherry Blossoms

For just two weeks in April, Cherry Blossoms take over South Korea.

10. Eat fresh fish at Busan’s famous Jakgalchi Fish Market

The famous Jakgalchi Fish Market sits right on the water in Busan, and is where you can find some of the freshest seafood in the country. Even if fish isn’t your thing, walking through the rows of stalls selling the catch of the day, most of which is still swimming around in tanks, is an experience in itself. 

And guys that’s it and hoping that you will also have a great experience!
