Despite my appreciation for solitude, I’ve never travelled solo before and wasn’t sure how much I’d actually enjoy it. I enjoy my time alone but that’s always different when you’re in a new environment where you don’t speak the language. However, the flights from Seoul are so cheap from China and I had winter break, so I decided to book a somewhat last minute trip in the new year.
I had been to Seoul before with CANDANRAN, and knew it was a fairly safe city where I could get by with minimal Korean (ie. just “hello” and “thank you”). I had less than a week to plan it all, but I managed to work out a busy-but-flexible itinerary and booked a hostel, data SIM card, and bullet train to Busan. I guess that’s the perks of travelling in the winter.

So I set off for a week and had a bit of fun.
