Heading to Korea? Here are the 22 best souvenir picks across traditional crafts, K-beauty, food, and pop culture, with where to buy each and practical shopping tips.
Ahopsan Forest is one of the best half-day trips from Busan. It's a privately owned bamboo forest and it looks like every K-drama set you've ever seen.
Continuing where Galmaetgil 9.1 finished. A moderately tough hike on a mountain famous for it's bamboo forest. (Which you completely avoid if you stay on the path lol)
Seagulls and tales await on Busan's Galmaetgil 9.1! From scenic villages to countryside hanwoo, join me on this 9km journey of bridges, blossoms, and an old friendly grandpa.
The best national parks in South Korea for hiking, from Bukhansan near Seoul to Jirisan in the South. Specific trails, difficulty, and how to get there.
