we did a tour of Seoul, Busan, Jeju, Gyeongju, Sokcho in 5/6 people. First of all, the communication of the place is great, you can easily get everywhere, the signs are legible and it is difficult to get lost. the food is delicious and huge portions for a low price. a lot of nature and beautiful views. we felt safe and confident on the streets, people are nice and helpful

We felt very safe in Korea. And We could go out whenever we wanted. We stayed in Seoul. It is a city that is lively 24 hours a day and you can find everything you want.

Honestly I love this country as a tourist. If you are well prepared you won’t experience so many culture shocks - just spend some time doing a good research. The architecture (old and new) is amazing, food is great and overall I felt very safe there!

About me

Hi, I’m Haru! 🇹🇭 I’m from Thailand but currently living in Seoul, South Korea. I really love traveling—both around Korea and abroad—and I try to go on trips every holiday I get. I’m looking for friends to go hiking with every weekend (Saturday or Sunday). Hopefully, I can meet some new hiking buddies! I speak Thai and Korean, and right now I’m studying very basic German. I’d love to practice both German and English, and I’m also interested in language and cultural exchange. Looking forward to connecting with new friends! 🌍✨
