In terms of the lantern festival, I'd also recommend the one on Buddha's birthday(Yeondeunghoe, lantern lighting festival. usually in May and it's National Intangible Cultural Heritage and Intangible Cultural Heritage of the world as well).
Thank you very much and happy new year.
Thank you so much @BegaW! That is an amazing suggestion. I'll pin your comment on this video for others to see as well! Happy New Year! 🥳
Wow such beautiful landscapes!!!
There's a lot of beauty to see in Korea eh @marcomorales920!
Great content. Keep it up 🎉
Thanks so much @i.am.brinjal!
As usual, lots of great advices and ideas. Looking forward to traveling to Korea thanks to your suggestions. Cheers from Marrakech.
Thanks so much @patrick.arnoux! Hope you can check out Korea some day!
This is such a good video full of information and great visuals! You guys are my go to channel for authentic Korean travel and food! Keep it up, I’m you’ll get more subscribers in no time 🙌🏾
Thanks so much for the nice comment and praise @IrakozeLIVE! 😊
Very nicely presented where to go in different seasons in Korea.
Thanks so much for the nice comment @mariojsworld!
Thank for the video. This is entertaining and informative. It is going to be useful when I plan a visit to Korea.
Thanks so much Howard! Hope you have an amazing week! 😁
Awesome video! Love Korea, the people and it’s spirit of joy❤️
Thanks a lot Mom! ♥It's really a beautiful country with things to do for every season!
I really like this new video series of travel tips and ideas. I'm still figuring out when to do my second trip to Korea and am thinking March/April or Sept/Oct (again), but this time without my bicycle. Your videos are so helpful for my planning. I was thinking March/April, but the pollution and fine/yellow dust is a bit discouraging. Am I right in thinking most people wear masks when outside during this season?
Other topics for videos could be ...
a) What areas within cities are most interesting to stay in ... Seoul, Jeonju, Busan, Jeju, etc. Although it's easy to subway around, having interesting things to walk to around or near your hotel or for an evening stroll always seems a bit more fun. My first trip I stayed near Myeongdong, which was great but now I know it's a bit more on the touristy side.
b) Exploring markets like Gwangjang was one of my favourite activies. Knowing your favourite markets in cities around Korea would be great.
c) Favourite one days hikes around Korea, perhaps with help in how to get to and from the trailhead. In Seoul, I did the hike up Inwangsan Mountain and it was one of my best days.
d) I know you've covered some of this in your other videos, but help with the logistics of getting around places once you get off the train or leave the airport. For example, to explore Jeju Island for a week or two, would you just use the bus system, or would renting a car be best? I already know I'll miss my bike when I go to Jeju for the first time.
e) Food you should try when you're in Korea, with the Korea spelling and options you might be presented with on the menu. Perhaps even food that might be best to avoid, at least initially :-)
Anyway, just a few ideas. Looking forward to future videos.
Thanks so much @northice! I'd come in the Spring this time if you've already been in the Fall. It's not polluted every day, but there can be strings of 3-4 days in a row of bad pollution just so you know. People wear masks when exercising, but most Koreans don't wear them when just walking around outside (less than 50% I'd say).
Thanks a lot for the video ideas too! I saved them as potential topics for the future, and I'm in the middle of filming a "Where to Stay in Seoul" video where I've been filming all the different neighbourhoods to show how they actually are instead of just describing them to the camera, so hopefully it turns out okay! Doing them in other cities is definitely something we can tackle in the future too.
Hope all is well, and take care!
It's so unfortunate how fall doesn't last very long. Easily the most comfortable and best season here.
Totally agree @doug2731, although as a Canadian I can't explain because fall was extremely short there! Haha. I love fall time though!
Great video!
Thanks so much Thoan! Hope you're doing well!
@@lostthenfound Busy but doing well. Might ride this Chuseok holiday
명산과 서울 구경 잘했어요 ~~~❤
감사해요, 기숙님! 새해 복 많이 받으시고 2024년도 행복과 건강이 가득하길 바랄게요! 😊
서울 여의도가 보이는 한강이 멋집니다. 무주 역시 겨울에 스키 타기에 좋은 장소 입니다.
한강이 아주 멋있죠! 그리고 무주는 눈이 올 때 정말 예뻐요! 가을에도 예쁠 것 같아요.
We’re going in first week of may hoping still have cherry blossoms 🌸
Oh nice! First week of May is a good time for sure. From my experience it'll be too late for cherry blossoms, but there will be a lot of beautiful flowers and the weather will be perfect! All the best with your trip!
Thanks for the Info! I hope to visit Korea in 2025 with my husband 🙏🏻
Thanks a lot @gabyjoa! Hope you can visit here and have a great trip together!
💛
hello ! thanks so much for all your videos. It's really helpful.
I plan on coming in September. I was wondering if there is any specific event/activity to not miss during this month ? Thanks !
Thanks so much @xclanorigins really glad that the information was helpful! In September the biggest event is Chuseok which is like Korean Thanksgiving. During the holidays from the 16-18 all of the admissions to the palaces will be free (at least they are traditionally), so if you are around then I would go during those days. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but here are some festivals going around the country that you could check out if interested: english.visitkorea.or.kr/svc/contents/infoHtmlView.do?vcontsId=136567
I love your channel. Why don't you guys start a Korean travel concierge service for foreigners? Most Korea travel videos are made by foreigners. But you two have inside knowledge of traveling Korea. Use Canadian connection. Nobody wants to plan trip logistics in a foreign country. You can customize trips for cycling, hiking, food, etc, all the things you guys are already passionate about. Just an idea.
Thanks so much @peacew6! If the full time CZcams life doesn't work out for us, this is something we have definitely considered for the future.
@@lostthenfound Do both. CZcams can be your marketing tool.
Hello love your videos. Will be coming to Korea the end of the year for work and was wondering is it best to bring a bike or buy one in Korea?
Hi there @everestmims8770 thanks a lot! You can easily buy a bike here off of Karrot Market (second hand buying/selling app) from people who live nearby ($200+ for something decent), or buy brand new from a Trek/Giant dealer. I would only bring your own bike if you can't live without it and plan staying here long term.
Perfect timing, as we are travelling to Korea in October! Curious about the other videos in the series as well, will they come out in September?
Also: what is easiest way to travel to the starts of hikes in more remote areas?
Oh great @JoostVanHillo! October is the absolute best time to come in my opinion! The next video will be released on September 24 about where to stay in Seoul, as these videos take me a long time to make (I'm traveling around Seoul every day filming right now).
If you're trying to go to a really remote hike, it would be best to:
1) Use Naver Maps to find out exactly what transportation goes there. From Seoul, you will usually take an intercity bus (kobus.co.kr) or train (letskorail.com) to the nearest bus terminal or train station to the hiking trail.
2) Once at the bus/train station, you will probably have to take another bus to get there. It will most likely be a village bus (마을버스) which doesn’t come very frequently. You can check the Bus Info on Naver Maps in advance how often they come. You can check the exact schedule online usually but it involves a lot of searching in Korean unfortunately. You can try searching “(bus #) 버스 시간표” in Korean if you want to try. Or else search in English and a travel blog might pop up or something that’s helpful.
3) If the village bus doesn’t come often enough, you will have to take a taxi. There will almost always be a taxi stand nearby a bus terminal or train station. Use Kakao Taxi app if there isn’t one.
Saw 2 videos. I see time n dedication. Visuals, editing, sound 10/10. If i could invest in youtube channels, id invest in this one. Keep going and in a few y this channel is gonna reach 1m subs without a prob. Thanks for the clear informational videos. Ill continue watching now ;) /vincent
The vids i saw were this one and the places to stay. Saw recent vids dont have much views. Maybe the contents diff idk. But i like the news-type-of-style but still personal with clear informational. Havent seen ur latest vids either, yet
What the channel generates may not be of any relevance anyways, just wanted to elab on prev post. Be well
Wow thanks so much for the nice comment @rudhagvincent! I think that these guide type videos tend to get more views because they are common topics that people keep searching for. I'll definitely be making more of them in Seoul now that the weather is nicer out (7 day itinerary, what to eat, 25 things to do) so stay tuned for the future!
CZcams Algorithm comment 👍
Haha thank you @ONCEbittenTWICEshyshyshy 🤣
What are you recomond as a beter season to visit koria...Just one season..Or I would glad if you do a vedio about that..
@manuth2008 my absolute favourite season is the Fall time here, but Spring would be close second (more pollution though).
@@lostthenfound Tnx
12:23 where is the bridge please and the waterfall after that???😍🤔🌉
That area is called Gangcheonsan (강천산) and it's close to Sunchang (순창). It's a really underrated area to visit, and I don't think many tourists go there. If you come to Korea for a longer trip I'd definitely recommend checking it out!
Here's a Naver Map link by the way:
