An Unfiltered Travel Guide & Photo Diary

Best of South Korea

Ready for a unique travel experience? South Korea fits the bill and then some. On this eight-day trip, you’ll see the highlights in and around Seoul plus visit folk villages, unique Korean temples, and the bustling markets of Busan. Learn about the sombre history of North and South Korea and take an excursion to the Demilitarized Zone separating the two. This is the perfect snapshot of a country coming into its own as a top travel destination.

For travelers who prefer a comprehensive survey over a single-city deep dive, this trip is ideal. While some may want to spend a week just exploring Seoul's endless neighborhoods, this itinerary prioritizes breadth, connecting the capital with the historic heart of Gyeongju and the coastal energy of Busan. It’s a highlights reel for those who want to see the whole country's story in one go.
