Leipzig, Germany

When I made the move from Germany to Korea in 2021, my life took a thrilling turn. From day one, I've been sharing this amazing journey with my Instagram community, as "Next Stop: Korea." Living the city life in Seoul, I've become the go-to buddy and your guide for friends and family visiting but also organized trips and planned itineraries for some of my lovely followers. So, if you're looking for tips on the must-see spots, those hidden gems that don't make the guidebooks, and the best of what Seoul has to offer, I've got you covered! But hey, as much as I adore Seoul, I'm all about encouraging travelers to explore beyond the city limits. Think the beaches of Busan, the coastal charm of Gangneung, the culture explosion in Jeonju, and the paradise vibes of Jeju – I've been lucky enough to explore over 40 of these fantastic places, and my Korean adventure wishlist is still going strong! :D Fast-forward to 2023, and I officially became a Content Creator for the Korea Tourism Organiza

Seoul quickly became my favorite city! There are so many things to do, from visiting the palaces to sipping coffee in the prettiest cafes I’ve ever seen, stroll around the parks or hike the mountains for wow views! I did months of research and created this guide with 100+ locations for myself to explore Seoul and now I’m sharing it with you! 😍 This Map guide includes: ‌-Best places to see ( palaces, villages, buildings, libraries, museums, temples and gates, parks and hikes, cherry blossom spots & more) -Where to eat ( places I tried myself, cafes & street food markets) ‌-Shopping areas The best part? When you tap into each location you will find a Naver map link (google maps doesn’t work in Korea, so you will need to download Naver Map but most of the locations are in Korean) so you can easily get directions. I did all the hard work and searched for the locations on Naver Map, so you don’t have to. You will also find a travel guide with some useful informations at the end of the guide. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE🤯 This Map guide DOESN’T cover: -nightlife -stays NB. This is NOT a PDF but an interactive guide, don’t forget to download Thatch free app to get easier access. Any question?
