Things to do in Seoul, South Korea - Tour Recommendations
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- If you would like to explore South Korea faster, I have an answer for your - tours! One frustration while exploring South Korea is that, though public transportation is clean and very available, it takes a while to get to your destination especially if it's outside of Seoul. That's exactly why I decided to team-up with with Trazy and K Story Tours to show you some of the tours they offer around the outskirts of Seoul, South Korea. That way, you can explore more of this beautiful country and not waste so much time transiting there.
You might recall me mentioning the company Trazy in my SIM Card video! Well, on their website (Trazy.com) you can also book activities to do in Korea! Though this trip was sponsored, I was so excited to work with a company I already loved so much!

Which place would YOU visit!? 😍
Also, where should I travel to next? 🤔
Happy to finally get another video up ~ I’ve missed you guys 🥹🫂❤️
한국은 고속버스 시스템이 좋습니다..고속버스 터미널을 통해 작은 도시들을 구경하는 것도 아주 좋습니다..
1.고속버스 터미널 2.기차 3.비행기
한국 친구에게 부탁해서 한글 자막 달아달라고 해보세요..분명 효과가 있을겁니다..
왜냐면..한국인 입장에서 외국인들이 한국 여행하는 것과 흥미로운 것들과 리액션이 엄청 재미있기 때문입니다..
그런 시각에서 본다면 매건의 영상은 너무 좋은 방식의 영상이기 때문입니다..화이팅!!
I love Nami island 🇰🇷
Oh my goodness SAMEZ~~ 😍
No sleeves on cold drinks in the US but…I am a weirdo and don’t like how much my cold drinks “sweat” when I hold it so I always nab a sleeve 😂
Hahaha I guess this is your sign to come to South Korea 😉🤭
But really, thank you for informing me because I was starting to wonder if I was going crazy hahaha
(The sweat is annoying now that I think of it... 🤔)
This is one of the best video vlogs you have done. The DMZ had been on my list all this year....so will definitely go and visit in April. ❤️
Awww… thank you friend 🥹❤️🫂
Yes! Totally recommend the DMZ - especially the observatory~
GM Megan, TY for your videos, heading up to the DMZ today! Today is my birthday, interesting tour that I am anticipating (visiting Korea as a plus one- wife is in an global pharmaceutical conference). Your videos has helped me w KETA and the infamous T Money card... Keep it up, has helped me and my wife!!! Staying in Incheon, from Zionsville, Indiana. Alex
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 😍🥳🎉🎊🎁
I hope you have a lovely trip and I’m so glad my videos have been helpful for you and your wife!! Much love from Seoul~ 🫂✨
Hi, Megan.
I find your video randomly on my UA-cam Home and I wanted to say thank you so much!!! I will go to Korea April next year (I know it's still long way to go hehe) for solo trip, but the thing is I'm absolutely blind with Korea (not even a big fan on kpop except SJ and f(x) lol). Found your videos is such a big biggg help for me. Thank you so much!! 😭
Awwww I'm so glad my channel has helped you out! 🥹❤️✨ There's no such thing as "too early" when preparing for a trip (if you're the planning type especially) especially because there's a lot about traveling overseas that is intimating! I do hope you have a lovely and trip that my videos continue to be helpful for you~ Much love 🫂
Another wonderful and informative video sis! ❤️🫶 Nami Island is a truly a wonder to behold 😍✨
Thank you love!! PEAK FOLIAGE~~ 😍🍂
Glad to see and hear from you and your videos again Megan, missed you heaps.
The scenery of those places are so good and I especially liked the one with the lake which you mentioned about the mining that caused the water to appear. Also the one with France looks really good and I like how you posed in those photos.
Again I'm glad to hear from you again Megan and it's an incredible vlog.
Awwww dear friend 🥺🫂❤️ One day I can't wait to give you a big hug IN PERSON!
The lake is SO beautiful and I love how it kind of... just formed on it's own. So stunning~
Much love as always!!
@@MeganOsten you're welcome Megan and yeah I can't wait to give you a big hug in person too. I agree with the lake forming on it's own.
Thank you Megan for sharing this tour of Nami Island, I loved its weather and the autumn forests are wonderful.💖👍
I'm happy to share!! Much love and thank you for commenting, it means a lot to me 🥹❤️✨
I'm planning a visit, arriving on new years' eve and I just binged all your channel. If I had done that earlier I would've chosen a better time to visit 😃 But my vacation days are already set in stone. Coming from the hot Arabian deserts, never experiencing sub-zero weather (Celsius). I'm having second thoughts. Do you recommend changing the destination?🤔
Gotta say the work you do is amazing. I learned so much and feel less anxious and more excited for the trip. Definitely the best channel for info about South Korea 💯
SO. It will be cold. For sure cold cold. However, it's hard to me to give an answer because I do love Korea and think each season has it's own beauty to it! If you're coming around Christmas/New Years the Christmas lights are really beautiful! I do think Spring/Fall are better seasons but you can make the most of your trip with the right mindset ❤️
By the way, you are SO sweet! Thank you so much for saying these kind words, it means a lot to me 🥹🫂✨
@@MeganOsten I will for sure go during spring/fall in the coming years.
I would appreciate if you do a winter in Korea video🙏: things to do, places to go. I didn't find enough info to make up my mind. Either because it's off-season or there isn't much to do 🤧
Megan! You have the best YT channel for Korea! Do Christmas decorations go up in certain areas in Korea?
You're so kind 🥹❤️ Thank you!
And YES! They're actually already starting to go up because they don't celebrate Thanksgiving here. But once it's December - ALL of the lights~~
I wanna go everywhere! Thank you for the tour and the history lesson!
Hehehe you’re welcome 😊✨
Its amazing, I like the calmness while watching this video. Seoul is so gorgeous and you are lucky to be here. great video. I am fan now
I feel very blessed to call this place home. Thank you for your support 😍✨
Hey Megan, thanks for sharing especially on reflecting how bless we are! Not many of us has that privilege to slow down and reflect, each day just zoom pass, often we are so caught up and failed to see the beauty of God's creation. We should take stock and reflect. And sometimes going on a vacation gives one that opportunity! Thanks for sharing!
great vlog! loved the commentary and conciseness
Thank you so much! 🥹❤️✨
Wow! These are some really beautiful and fascinating places to visit. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for sharing your trip! stay safe!
I went to Nami last month. It’s so amazing.
By the way, Love your video!
I’m so glad you got to see it!! 😍✨
& thank you 🥹❤️
Autumn in Korea is pretty 한국의 가을은 예쁘다
Yes! It really is! 네~ 정말!!
Hi, Megan. So nice to meet you here. During I looked for a English native speaker in order to practice my listening I found out you at last. I went to Nami island around 10 years ago with my beloved wife and enjoyed it so much. Watching your video reminds me of it. BTW I'm gonna practice my English with you video. Thank you so much. I have a question. My English is poor, but your speaking speed is faster than other Americans. Right? Have a wonderful experiences in Korea.
Good to see you back, we missed you.
Missed you all as well 🥹✨
Happy to be feeling like myself again but I will never forget the lives lost in Itaewon 😔❤️
This is an awesome video! Trazy and KStoryTours must have several great tours as South Korea is soooo beautiful! ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed! 😍 Lots of lovely tours for sure~ (I still can't believe I saw North Korea AND Nami Island at peak fall foliage)
Thank you for letting me know of Odusan Observatory. I got to visit with my kid soon.
Yes yes! I highly recommend 😊❤️✨
Totally enjoyed this video 😍😍
Awww yay! I’m so happy to hear this 🥹❤️✨
Just booked the Nami island and Garden of Morning Calm :) thank you!
Beautiful island
Really appreciate all your vlogs. We are heading back there in march. Would love a video on customs/traditions or regulations/laws that are different to most.
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed the vlogs 🥰✨
Good video idea! I’ll add it to the list ☺️
Safe travels!!!
Would be nice if you can make video how to go to Nami Island. 😊
Check the links in the description box and explore Trazy's website! They have bus options that take you there and they're very convenient! You can also get there by public transportation ( check my public transportation playlist for more information: ua-cam.com/play/PLjx0Th0cjFFboiAgG_JWnQH6soPRbBco9.html )
This was very entertaining. How can you not like jam ? It gives so much and asks so little 🤣
Hi Megan, loving your content, especially on exploring and navigating South Korea as I will be visiting near the end of the year. Just wanted to ask if you knew if there were options for foreigners to order food and pay using foreign credit cards (as I've heard some food deliveries require a Korean credit card or social security number). Would love to have the option of ordering delivery instead of struggling in the cold :)
Hi yes! Great question~ If you check the description box in any of my videos I have a link to an app called "Shuttle". If you use that link you get a little discount on your first purchase but that app IS foreigner card friendly! 😍 You will need a working phone number here in Korea though to set-up the account. Hope that helps ❤️✨
이뻐요. 딱내스타일^^
DMZ 아직 못가봤는데 가보고싶어요.
Lovely video! For the North Korea observatory, can you simply just show up here anytime or do we have to book in advance? We have limited days so it’d be great if it’s possible to go here and go at our own pace (and hopefully nice weather to see properly!)
Also, how do you get from here (I’ll be staying at Gangnam soon so from here :))
Loved the video.
I’m so glad 🥹❤️✨
한국에 와주셔서 고맙습니다~~~ 남이섬너무좋죠!! 영상잘보고갑니다.😍
Thank you for coming to Korea~~~ Nami Island is so nice! Thank you for the video.😍
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment~~ 😍🫂✨
Welcome^^ 환영합니다
I love your video!
Thank you 🥹❤️✨
Stacking wishes like broken bones in catacombs. Blessed like Michael Angelo’s dome.
You can’t see me cause it’s high art like in Pocheon. 😊
Hi Megan, lovely video! Which month was that dear 😊
FINALLY ~ A new video~
I’ve been there but that’s amazing view I’ve never seen before~ .
How long are you going to stay in Korea?
I KNOW! AHHH! It's been so long~~ ❤️
I live and work here full time so I don't plan to leave anytime soon 🤪✨
@@MeganOsten @Megan Osten Oh that's wonderful plan I ever heard haha, I would recommend " 파주 헤이리마을 "
I really wanted to recommend other places but it's kinda far away from Seoul.
However, If you have a long break in the next time, 울릉도(Ulleungdo Island) is quite beautiful place and it's a bit different from Jeju island.
Have a good night Megan~
Can u do a video on which places to go shopping which is not so expensive and also has some more sizes than S?
Hi! What month did you go in SK? Your video is nice!😍
Ur voice is sooooooo beautiful!!!
sooo great
Beautiful
Hi Megan, I bet you have much to do but have you ever thought about adding additonal guides to your shop? I enjoy your airport guide very much and Seoul has so much to offer for visitors (restaurants, sightseeing, tours). Covering these in additional guides (PDF) would generate synergy effects for travelers and would generate additional income. You could sell them single or a little bit cheaper as bundle. You have most of the content already in your YT videos. Just a quick thought. Love your videos.
I’m actually working on more! 🥹❤️ just haven’t had much time to these days but it’s happening 😄 thank you for reminding me of the importance of it!!
@@MeganOsten Haha 😀 Thx, great to hear 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Looking forward to reading them :)
Welcome to Korea ~~~ Pretty Megan ! 한국에서 맛있는음식 많이드시고 가세요 ....... 😊🥰😊
좋은영상 잘봤습니다 ㅎ
자주자주 올려주세요 ^^
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 네~ 🥹❤️✨
May i please ask in what month did u go to Nami? It look so nice
So nice 😍😍😍😍
Many many thanks ☺️
Hi Megan
Thanks for the vlogs
Would you recommend Nami for spring? Will be there late March
Nami Island is beautiful every time of year! Truly! ❤️✨ So the answer is always: yes~ 😉
@Megan Osten thank you
Do you think tween and teenager will find it amazing? Are there any good food on the island?
너무 이쁨
Any must go places for summer visit?
So why was the rocks stacked up? I can’t find the video 😅
👍👍👍
Is the camera that took this video an iPhone 11 or 12?
The quality of the video is very smooth and good. 😍👍👍
Yep! An iPhone 12! 😍
@@MeganOsten 답변을 해주셔서 너무 고맙습니다. 😍
I am traveling to South Korea and need to know how to pack my meds? I take several and wondered do I have to register them?
👍👍
☺️❤️✨
Challenge accepted for photo scavenger hunt.. Will be visiting Nami Island in March when I return to Korea
Hahahaha YAAAS! She loves a good challenge 🤣👏🏼❤️
lol I literally emailed trazy yesterday to ask if they would be doing these tours in Feb and they told me they don't do outing package deals 🙃
I think they just mean they don’t know that far in advance just yet! But check back later~ they have tours all year round ❤️✨
😊😊😊😘😘😘
What a lovely woman,,
You so pretty
Have question: how to find friends in South korea both Korean and foreighners ?
I host a friending-speeding event online about once a month so lookout for that! In the meantime, I really recommend language exchanges! There’s one in Hongdae called “You Are Not Alone” and you can find them on Instagram ❤️
Hi, there. I'm looking for a foreigner friend who gets along with me. I'm living in Bucheon and my job is in Incheon. If you are' not far from me we can be friends. ^^ I can't wait.

@@NeverGiveup-25 That's too bad. It's so far. I hope you to have good friends. And enjoy your Korean life.
