I make raw, unfiltered travel vlogs around the world.
Korean Fast Food is Next Level! (Way Better than America) 🇰🇷
Ever wondered what happens when you mix solo travel with a dash of spontaneity? Well, I found myself a date during my solo trip to Seoul, and it’s not even the strangest thing that happened. Join me as I dive headfirst into South Korea’s vibrant capital, starting in Myeongdong, the chaotic paradise of street food and skincare enthusiasts, before attempting to navigate a Michelin-starred dumpling restaurant.
💳 Travel with Wise & get your first transfer fee (up to £500 / $630) free : transferwise.com/c/olibarrett
Along the way, we’ll wander through Bukchon Hanok Village, where tradition meets influencer heaven, and stop by Gyeongbokgung Palace for a heavy dose of history and a light sprinkling of tourists dressed like royalty. Naturally, I’ll also tackle a serious topic-South Korea’s growing population crisis-before bringing things back to normal with a $40 homestay tour and a bite of Mom’s Touch, possibly the best fast food chain in Korea (or the world).
Yes, you read that right: I found myself a date during my solo trip to Seoul. It was unexpected, mildly awkward, and oddly charming-much like this entire adventure. If you’re here for travel tips, cultural insights, or just to watch me eat my way through Seoul, you’re in the right place.
Expect sarcastic British humour, touristic chaos, and just enough sincerity to make you think I know what I’m doing. Welcome to Seoul-hope you brought comfortable shoes.

당신이 내린 공항은 서울이 아닙니다 .인천입니다 또한 서울 공항이 아니라 인천공항입니다
동아시아인들은 보통 췌장이 유럽인이나 미국인들에 비해서 작죠. 췌장은 인슐린을 분비하는 기관인데, 인슐린은 체내에 당을 저장시키고 세포에 에너지를 공급시키죠. 이게 작아서 살이 덜 찌는겁니다. 물론 음식의 차이나 생활습관의 차이도 있을겁니다. 한국도 서구화되면서 비만율이 급증하고 있어요.
이런 시점으로 보니까 참 재밌네요
素晴らしい日本も外国人旅行客や移民のせいでもうすぐめちゃくちゃな国になります。😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Mom's Touch is a restaurant that sells chicken sandwiches as the mainstream. It's similar to Papaise. Of course, the chicken they sell there is also quite delicious. But as a Korean, I would like to recommend more major chicken brands in Korea. Like BBQ, Kyochon chicken, BHC. Each brand has a different representative menu, so I recommend you to get recommendations from employees.
Can’t stop watching ❤❤
日本に来ていただきありがとうございます!動画楽しんで見させてもらいました!次来ていただくときにちょっとした注意として日本人はあまりカメラを向けられることに慣れていないので許可なく撮影されることを不快に思う人がいたりします。特に高齢の方などは慣れてないことが多いので気をつけた方がいいかもしれません
If you want to take out leftover, you can just ask, they will pack it for you!!! I’m Korean.
하하 명동에는 현지인은 없습니다. 99%가 외국인 ,
아니 이거 한국어 번역을 누가해놨는지... 한국어 자막 켜고 보는데 분명히 부정적인 이야기가 아닌데 부정적인 뜻으로 잘못 번역된 부분이 많네요 ㅋㅋ 잘 걸러서 보세요.
Oops. Thanks for pointing that out! I use an AI assistant subtitler. Can you give me an example so I can see how that’s happening?
Good job!!

14:11 Gyeongbukgung Palace was built in 1395, twenty five years earlier than the Forbidden City of China, which was built in 1406-1420.

화장실의 위치는 사장님께 여쭤보면 다 알려줍니다~😂 참지마세요 ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ
올리 당신은 어디서 왔나요?

5:21 This Ma'am's English is amazing !!
일본이 훨씬 좋습니다. 한국은 일주일만 경험하면 그것으로 충분...........
13:38 저 분들은 한국인이 아니기 때문에 확신이 없는 것 같습니다. 가장 적극적으로 알려주신 분은 노선을 제대로 파악하고 있는 것 처럼 보여요. 저 분들은 한국어를 할 수 있는 중국인이예요. 현재 중국의 땅 가운데 원래는 한국의 땅이였던 곳이 있기 때문에 그 지역의 사람들은 한국어를 사용하고 중국에서는 그들을 소수민족으로 취급합니다.
이분은 영상 후반에 남자 둘 나올 때부터 그냥 아예 흥미잃은듯. 22:31에서 한국적 어쩌고 할때는 거의 자포자기 느낌
Like British accent
You blew it by not saying, "It's a Danang good one!"
20:25 If this is from your observation. I should say it is very accurate and sharp. People do pay too pay too much attention to what other people think about themselves and spend too much money and resources for this and it is influencing almost every where in person's life. It has pro: such as we have higher security and safety (Because people don't want to look like a low life scumback) and street is relatively safe and there is no robbery during the demonstration (Because your demonstration should be for the good of people and sacred) and people look good on the street as well and making people push to the limit when it some to work. But in same time, it is crumbling nation down from the deep inside by resulting lowest birth rate (your kid should be look superior otherwise you don't want to have a kid it includes intensive private education, huge spend on kid's clothing and items and big burdon on kids' expenses), so competitive (you don't want to look like a loser) and Hikikomori (People stuck in the room and never come our for years and years because they think they are loser and its better stay in the room then show your self our and looked down by people).
전 서울에 오랫동안 살고 있지만 올리님이 보여주신 여행 코스대로 여행을 해보고 싶어 지네요 ^^ 명동교자는 정말 맛있죠~ 😊 지금한국은 괴장히 추운 계절인데 날씨가 띠뜻할때 다녀 가셔서 다행이네요 ~ 좋은 뷰포인트를 보여 주셔서 감사해요 ❤ 구독하고 자주 찾아올께요 ^ ^ 자막을 정말 잘 넣어 주셔서 재밌게 시청했습니다

Stop banging on about dollars, you're a brit aren't you! Talk £s
If you are staying in Seoul or surrounding cities, you don't need an E-SIM in Korea. Wi-Fi is free everywhere.
31:00 That is incorrect information. Every restaurant in Korea has toilets. Ask the staff and they will guide you. And there are so many public toilets. There are always public toilets in the big buildings, or parks, nearby.
これから日本にいらっしゃる方にお願いがあります。日本語が分からないならGoogle翻訳などを使って下さい。店員は理解しようと倍の時間がかかり、他の客は終わるのをずっと待たされています😢混んでる時は困ってます。
Just finished the video! Great job showing off japan. I feel like you shown the things that i didnt have answers for, im going to japan at some point when i have the money! Thanks for this video and im gonna watch some more of your videos now!
우리나라만큼 화장실 가기 쉬운 나라 없어요ㅠㅠ일본, 대만, 베트남, 유럽각지..여행다녀본 결론입니다ㅋㅋ일단 화장실! 어딜가든 하다못해 커피전문점이든 편의점이라도 물어보면 어디에 화장실 있는지 알려줍니다. 음식점은 없는곳이 이상할 정도. 음식점안이든 밖이든 근처에 있는게 화장실입니다.
As a Korean, China seems like a reasonable ally to choose, being the second most powerful nation after the United States and geographically closer, making exchanges more convenient. However, China’s economy is currently collapsing, and the Chinese Communist Party has a tendency to eventually restrict other nations’ freedoms under the pretext of economic aid. The Democratic Party, which openly supports China, is now attempting to impeach South Korea’s president for being cautious of North Korea, China, and Russia. They are even seeking to impeach the acting president as well. This raises significant concerns. Since 1953, the United States and South Korea have maintained a clear alliance, and South Korea remains the last line of defense against the spread of China’s communist policies in East Asia. The South Korean people should acknowledge that the reason their nation has not been invaded by China thus far is thanks to the United States. It is imperative that they strive to achieve genuine freedom.
Thanks for your thoughtful perspective.

13:59 Can you masturbation ??? 🤣🤣
Mate they no exactly what the quality of their goods are , they don’t need you to tell them again and again, you get what you pay for . It’s almost a law of physics.
