This guide tells you how to get there and what to expect, and throws in some tips and side stories, too.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tintin Aga
📍Philippines
Beach lover and K-drama fan here.
I’m generally a budget traveler, but I don’t mind splurging on one sumptuous meal or an overnight stay at a starred hotel.
I love taking photos and making music videos out of my travels.
I love beach sceneries, but for some reason, mountains and meadows appeal to me, too.
I can make recommendations/detailed itineraries for the best Korean drama shooting locations or the top destinations in South Korea depending on the season. 😊
