3 days in seoul | retail therapy in gangnam, korean bbq & bukchon hanok village

Welcome to my Korean Japanese travel vlog series! In this first episode, join me as I visit Seoul, South Korea. My three-week adventure through Korea and Japan started with a four day stay in Seoul, and I'm excited to share every moment with you.
During my stay in Seoul, I took leisurely strolls through the bustling streets of Gangnam, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere and indulging in some retail therapy. Wandering through Bukchon Hanok Village allowed me to admire traditional Korean houses and picturesque alleyways. Dongdaemun Night Market offered a diverse array of delicious street food. From traditional Korean dishes like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and hotteok (sweet pancakes) to international cuisines. My Seoul adventure wrapped up in a Korean tea house - which is a must try.
After these exciting days in Seoul, I embarked on the next leg of my journey to Japan, where I explored the vibrant cities of Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. Stay tuned for more vlogs capturing my adventures in Japan!

Stunning travel vlog! I’ve just spent 2 weeks in Seoul and there seems to be an infinite number of places to explore, eat and everything else in. Love the city!

Thanks Dan! Indeed, so many places and so little time to visit them all. Next time I will try to stay longer in Seoul to “feel” the city even better.

I just watched your video in Japan. It seems that you enjoyed Japan much more than Korea. Was Korea not your liking? I love Korea's drama and Kpop though!!

[@mynameskatrina]

Hm interesting question, thanks for asking! Generally speaking visiting Japan was more of a dream than going to Korea somehow, but I did enjoy Seoul a lot! 🫶 I wish I had more days to spend there and maybe visit other cities to better understand the local culture.
Are you thinking of visiting these countries?
