When I was planning my trip to Gyeongju, I definitely overthought where to stay a little. But once I arrived, I quickly realized it’s actually a really easy city to base yourself in. It’s quite small, most of the main sights are close together, and no matter where you stay, you’re never too far from…
As I was planning my 10 days in South Korea, three destinations kept popping up over and over again: Seoul, Busan, and Gyeongju. I already knew about Seoul and Busan, but if you’re anything like me, you might not have heard of Gyeongju before starting your trip research. Still, with so many people recommending it…
If you’re planning a trip to Gyeongju, one thing you’ll notice pretty quickly is that this city feels very different from the rest of the country. While places like Seoul and Busan are known for their big city energy, Gyeongju is much quieter and filled with historic sites dating back to the Silla Kingdom, when…
If you’re planning a trip to Gyeongju, you’ll quickly realize this isn’t your typical city. It’s often called an open-air museum, and once you start exploring, that description makes a lot of sense. Instead of museums and galleries, the history is just… everywhere. Ancient tombs, temple ruins, and historic landmarks are scattered right across the…
Busan is one of those cities that’s perfect for a quick couple of days… as long as you plan it right.

If you love good coffee, cool atmospheres, and cafes with unreal ocean views, then you’re going to have a very good time in Busan. The cafe scene here is seriously next level. From sleek minimalist coffee bars to cozy spots perched right along the coastline, there are so many cafes in Busan where the vibe…
Busan really surprised me. It has the energy of a big city, but the moment you get near the water everything slows down a bit. You’ve got long sandy beaches, some of the best coastal walks, colorful neighborhoods, incredible seafood, and a café scene that makes it very easy to spend an afternoon doing absolutely…
Busan is one of those places that constantly surprises people. It’s a coastal city with one of the best urban beaches I’ve seen, an incredible café scene, fun nightlife, and tons of outdoor spots to explore. It’s the kind of destination that feels like a city escape without being stuck between endless skyscrapers. But because…
When I was planning my Korea trip, my itinerary originally only included Seoul and a visit to the DMZ. But with 10 days in the country, I knew I wanted to see more than just the capital. That’s when I set my sights on Busan, Korea’s second-largest city. Sitting right on the coast, Busan gives…
