Solo travel
I spontaneously went on a short trip to Jeonju alone. At first I felt a bit lonely and unfamiliar. But I ended up really enjoying the trip. I had some time for me, the city is rather small and calm what was also very nice. Ans the city has to offer a lot of culture and a rather calm vibe.
