South Korea
Where traditional villages overlook skyscrapers, where technology doesn’t intrude on tradition.
Best time to visit
Best time to visit South Korea is from March to May for a beautiful spring. September to November for vibrant fall colours. Summers are very hot and humid.
Money saving tips
My best saving tips are to rent an Airbnb with a kitchen and eat breakfast at home and rent a hanbok for free entrance to a few places.
Suggested budget
The daily suggested budget for South Korea is $40-70 USD, assuming you’re staying in an Airbnb or mid-range hotel, eat mid range and use public transport.
Favourite thing to do
My favorite memories are renting a hanbok, eating Korean BBQ and having the classic chicken and beer. Stay in Hongdae or Itaewon.
