[Travel in April 2025] It was a last-minute jio, and just like that – I found myself back in Korea this Spring! I honestly thought I wouldn’t be here during this season, which felt a little bittersweet since Spring in Korea has always been a yearly thing for me. But somehow, everything aligned perfectly… and…
[Travel in March 2024] It’s my 5th time in Jeju, but my first time staying near the Hyeopjae area — and I absolutely loved the change of scenery. We rented a car for this trip, so getting around was super convenient, even though our schedule was a bit packed. With limited days on the island,…
[Travel in March 2024] Trying New Stays in Korea – This Time, Back to Hongdae with L7!

[Travel in March 2024] Since our visit to Yongma Falls Park (용마폭포공원) didn’t quite go as planned (hello, dry waterfall vibes 😅), I wasn’t ready to give up on chasing waterfalls just yet!

[Travel in March 2024] Speaking of disappointments, I traveled quite a distance to Yongma Falls, excited to see the biggest artificial waterfall in Asia… haha. I thought this trip would make more sense compared to just visiting a café (which, yes, I also went to—for a particular reason that I’ll mention shortly). 😆 The walk…
[Travel in March 2024] If you’re a fan of Chinese cuisine, you’ve probably heard of Chef Lee Yeon-bok (이연복), the legendary chef who refined Menbosha (멘보샤) and made it a household name in Korea.

[Travel in March 2024] It’s natural to look forward to seeing cherry blossoms during a trip in March or April—it’s the perfect season with great weather (though still a bit chilly). But this year (2024) was tougher, with a significant delay. We didn’t catch any cherry blossoms at Sinchon at all—it was completely bare, haha.…
