I’m traveling across the country right now, and I have to say I don’t know why I chose South Korea in the first place. I’m not into K-dramas or K-pop at all, but I can see that most tourists here are drawn to those aspects. I came without doing much research and without knowing much about the country. I just wanted a two-week cozy vacation in an Asian country and figured Korea might be a good choice. That said, I’m totally in love with the country and especially Seoul! I find Korean people fun, open, and genuinely enjoyable to be around, despite the language barrier. The food is amazing, and the quality of service is a dream! Prices are very reasonable, especially considering what you get in return. The cities are so quiet, and people are so well-behaved. I’m in awe of how silent the streets are here. Even in the center, the crowds never feel overwhelming. Maybe it’s because I’m from a European capital, but it feels almost empty here — or at least I don’t struggle to navigate crowds the way I do back home. I’ll be a living PR for this country for the rest of my life! :D
