Travel Korea: A Start to a Shy Traveler’s Everyday Adventure, in Korea

My Bucket List To Travel Korea

It has always been in my bucket list to travel all over Korea but never dared to start. Other than the lack of time, I did not have the confidence and just had a lot of worries. I was always this “shy” type of person that made me hesitate to do a lot of things alone like traveling. I didn’t like this version of me but wasn’t enough to motivate me to really travel.

Maybe some can say that I am lazy and I couldn’t really argue with that since I never was able to start or finish things. I just have too many thoughts and before I could even begin something, I just start to panic and worry A LOT. But then, I heard from a friend that I should start writing if I had a lot of thoughts in my mind or do various activities that makes me forget about all the worries I have. Then I thought why not do both? As I said, I’m terrible at starting or finishing anything (this first post took me months before even starting to write it) and so, it took me a lot of time and bravery just to even post my first ever blog. But by doing this, I hope that it can give a little courage to people who also never got the guts to start something they always wanted to do just because they personally think that they’re not good enough.

Why Korea?

I’ve always loved Korea. Korea has this combination of beautiful beaches, mountains, buildings and etc. but despite being Korean, I wasn’t able to see most of it since I spent the majority of my life abroad. I would visit when it was vacation season and go to beautiful places with my family but I knew it wasn’t enough.

In 2020, during the pandemic season, my family moved to Korea for good. Although I had a lot of time, I wasn’t able to go anywhere because of the pandemic. And as time passed, I became more and more used to this new lifestyle I had and slowly forgot about the bucket list. Until the January of 2024, while talking with a friend, he suggested me to try to write a travel blog about Korea. That gave me a push to think about it and finally write about it now, in which it is almost 2 months to 2025 (As stated above, I’m terrible at starting anything 😅) But I really want to congratulate myself for posting my first ever blog! Better late than never! 🤣

My Personal Goal for my Travel Diary: “Me on Travel, Korea”

For this blog, I want to use my advantages (being Korean and knowing both Korean and English), I want to reach out to people and share the beauty of Korea. I want to share with you all my experiences while giving you all the information I can get to get there. Though I may not be good at planning the trips ahead, I love to share and that’s what I want to do here! I want to share all the things I’ve learned from visiting the place and write all the detailed information you need to know before visiting or even during your visit. This blog, “Me on Travel, Korea”, would like to share on the whats, wheres, hows and etc. I will recommend places to go throughout all the different seasons. I will be also sharing with you what many different types of food the place is famous for and recommend you to some restaurants. I want to make this blog not only a place where I introduce you my adventures in Korea but also a place where you can ask me where in Korea you want me to visit! I do really hope that it would help you when planning your visit here!

And so my journey begins! Hope you all join me in my adventure to Korea!
