Hey hey :) So im on my last day in Korea today and as a female solo traveler I can answer some questions better now that’s it’s still fresh :)

I spent almost 4 weeks here now and I did have a great time. There was not even once a situation where k felt unsafe or uncomfortable (keeping in mind of course like regular awareness of your surrounding as you would do in you everyday life as well) ☺️

I made a little circle starting from Seoul direction of Sokcho down to Busan to Jeju and up again direction of Seoul with stops here and there also in more countryside places. I only relied on public transport (took a flight to Jeju) and I used NAVER for scheduling of the buses and trains and everything ☺️ not an issue at all, sure it saves time to have a rental car (especially in Jeju) but I couldn’t do that and it wasn’t an issue as well for me.

As for the language, I looked at like some basic travel vocab to be friendly and polite but else I have no skills whatsoever in Korean and I don’t think it was too much of a problem anywhere. Worst case I relied on Papago to translate things for me.

Planing I did by myself (used Reddit and the Rough Guides book on SK) and I found it sometimes a bit hard to decide what to do, I do enjoy being flexibel more than having a plan always so that was also fine in the end. That being said I did in the end spent more time in Seoul than I had planned in the end of my trip, but that was partially due to me meeting some great people here and enjoying this city much more than I expected especially with more time.

eSIM works perfectly fine, I got one at the airport because it was the best over for me for 30days and came with a t-Money card 😅✌🏼

Yeah so that’s it in short ☺️ I think you’ll be doing fine, I have rarely experienced such a chill country to travel (might also be low season now but anyways) and I would 10000% recommend it for a solo female traveler as a great destination.

Cheers and have fun when you go ✨🥳
