If traveling was free, you would never see me again. I always wanted to travel, but money is always my obstacle. With this exciting opportunity to stand a chance of winning a FREE trip to my dream destination, I think my calling to South Korea is probably going to happen soon.*crossed fingers jaebal~~

With all 10 tempting destinations, I don't know which one to choose 😍

#MyTravelokaEscapade bring me to my Oppa hometown jebalyo 제발요!

Why I choose South Korea?

If I were to start travel the world, I will choose South Korea as my first travel destination. Why? My addiction to Korean entertainment has always make me wanted to go to South Korea. It's been more than 10 years now that I only watch and heard of how beautiful South Korea is. So, I wanted to experience it myself ; get a taste of their culture, their food and errr... I want to breath the same air like my oppa ? (lol, joking)


What I'm going to do in South Korea?

#1. Visit Attraction Places

There a lot of amazing places I wanted to go in South Korea. If I were to list all the places I want to go in South Korea, it would be insanely a long entry. Visiting all historical attractions in Seoul will definitely appear in my itinerary. Be it the palace, the fortress, the shrine or the tomb. I want to visit them all!  I always interested in the history of Korea. Reading about Taejo of Goryo or Taejo of Joseon in Wikipedia and watching abundance of historical drama  will never be enough for me. Walking back into history of Korea with my own two foot will be AMAZING!

If I'm not mistaken, Ji Eun Tak and Kim Shin in Goblin (Kdrama) coming back from Canada through this gate.

It would be a great experience for me to be at Gyeongbokgung Palace myself instead of just watching it in a drama, right? This is the biggest and most important royal residence during the Joseon Dynasty which was built in 1395, served as the home of Kings of the Joseon dynasty, the Kings' households, as well as the government of Joseon. I will walk in the palace dressed in hanbok and uttering some lines from drama The Moon That Embrace The Sun to match my royal-character-theme on that day... Pigun mamaㅋㅋㅋ Damn I start imagining things!

Travel back in time to the 1890s, by visiting the Folk Village Museum is what I definitely do in South Korea. I would love to experience hands on activities at Korean Folk Village.

Mt Hallasan, Jeju

If possible, I would like to add Jeju Island to my itinerary too. Jeju is certainly full of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. I love history and I love nature. So, Jeju is another gems for me to be explored. Let's go!


#2. Try Korean Food



“Food” is one of the good way to experience the real ‘taste’ of one country. I am not a fan of Korean food but I am not a picky eater either. My friends who visited Korea always give me different feedback of how tasty the food is. Maybe I have to try the real taste of Korean food cooks by the native? I want to try Royal dining experiences. Where else I can be treated as royal if not at Korea?

Street food that always features in Kdrama never fails to make me drool. Tteokbokki, hotteok, bungeoppang!! Now I really want to eat this! I will definitely go for halal Food Hunting while in Korea. I want to eat to my heart contents. Royal dining experience? Street Food? I WANT TO TRY BOTH!

I want to taste thissss.*** Literally drooling  while typing this

#3. Blend with locals


Han River always being highlight in any K-Drama! Cycling along Han River would be another great activity to try while being in South Korea! Again zety the drama queen *flips hair* Another thing I would like to try is going to cinema. The experience of going to a Korean movie theater is what makes it unique. The experience of buying movie ticket in a foreign country, watching movies with the natives is a thing I want to try.


#4. Cafe hopping

Another fascinate things about South Korea is their cafe! Strolling the street of Seoul and do some cafe-hopping while writing a blog sounds good right?

LINE Friends Store and Cafe in Insadong, Seoul. Too cute to resist. A must in my itinerary.

#5. Be a kid again!



I expect it to be extremely fun and unforgettable experience! I want to spend a day at Everland Themepark and be a kid again!


Its seem like I already have itinerary for this trip. Well, I've been dreaming of it since forever. So much things to see, so much things to do in South Korea. So, Traveloka can you please bring me to South Korea?
