Amy Thank You for providing this information very clean and clear easy to understand.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have a solo trip to Seoul in April and this video was so helpful and reassuring. I'll def have to binge your other videos sometime soon, too! I'm so happy I came across your channel! 💛
Ahhh I’m so excited for you!! I love Korea during spring time 😻 I’m glad that the video was helpful too!
This was so helpful, I loved it. Thanks for all the cool content that you post, it's always nice to listen to what you want to tell us :))))

Such great videos! So helpful! I'm doing a first time solo trip to Korea in October.
I’m so glad! Hope you have lots of fun!
hii~
love this video so much! i unknowingly smiled throughout the video because i can totally relate to the feeling of solo travels hahah^^
did my first solo travel in December 2021 to Korea and really enjoyed myself too~
can’t wait to go back again🤍

Hahaha thanks! I’m glad it was some new info 😅
I'm about to go on a 2 month trip to Korea in the Autumn, first time solo travelling to Korea as a Foreigner Korean, wanting to finally scratch the itch and see if I'd want to actually live there... the similarities 😂So glad I came across your videos!
Love it!! I hope you have a great time 💕 feel free to let me know if you want me to cover anything in particular about my travels too :)
Thanks for posting this ! I’m traveling there solo (Seoul-o?) next month !
have fun on your seoulo adventures!! Heheh 🤪
14:16 thanks!!
I'll be in Korea from around the end of March to May, anyone here who would like to meet? Feel free to write to me🥰
can you please list out the cafes you recommended.
This is very helpful for my korea trip next month! But one thing I really want to know is, as a fellow solo female traveler, did you feel relatively safe? I know you talked about how you almost got scammed and as a foreigner I guess we would be targeted more. I'm just worried about being taken advantage of or worse...
Of course you should always be aware of your surroundings and take necessary precautions but honestly i feel more safe wandering around Korea than i do in the US
i just left a comment on another viddy and started watching this and OMG U ARE A MONBEBE???? THE TASTE
😂😏😏😏
How long do you recommend a solo trip to Korea? I wanted to go there for two weeks do you think it would be possible especially with the quarantine?
Also, I have the new iPhone which doesn't have a sim card how would I get around that?
There’s no need for quarantine anymore for Korea, which is GREAT news! I think 2 weeks is definitely a good amount of time. I’ve gone for a week before and felt it was too short but at least left me with plenty of things to do for my next trip hehe. As for the new iPhones, they support dual e-sims so you can always get an e-sim from trazy or klook. If you’re there for 2 weeks, even a wifi egg would be sufficient I think
I’m only going to be in Korea for 10 days, will 1,000 pounds be enough? (1,200 dollars)
mm i personally think it is enough, but of course it depends on what you want to do, if this includes your stay, etc. i think i spent an average of $800-$900/week when i was there
Any suggesttion where yo stay ?
i usually stay around hongdae/mapo area since it's a bit more lively, but i really enjoyed staying in jongno area too. i would suggest anywhere near metro line 2 if you plan on using public transportation for your stay :)
@@AdventuresofAwkwardAmy thank you so much!
Hi, how long did you stay for?
I was there for two months - oct/nov 2021
@@AdventuresofAwkwardAmy I wanna go so bad, but my ass is introverted af. It looks so fun
@@anammajeed93 im introverted too! but i realized from my first trip - once you get to a certain point of no social contact, survival instincts kick in XD
