Oh Hey That One Time I Went to South Korea

Right. Remember that time I went to South Korea, like, half a year ago? No? Well, maybe it’s because I haven’t shared anything about it until now (freelance work is tough). And since the travel blogging universe doesn’t need another travelogue about what I did someplace you may or may not have been to, I’ll keep the description short, so that you can enjoy all the pretty photos (hover over them for more info).

From the epic Gyeongbokgung Palace and the moving War Memorial of Korea in Seoul to the really strange Teddy Bear Museum and the posh beachfront of Busan, South Korea is a magical place. It’s by far one of my favorite countries in Asia, and I cannot wait to go back. The people are kind (learn some of the language before going for an added bonus), the food is fantastic and the weather is wonderfully chilly in Autumn.

I even found straight-up Roman gelato in Busan, and that ain’t bad.
