Things to Note:
Public Transit
Buses are quick and reliable in Seoul. Get a T-money card at a convenience store when you arrive and top it up with about 30,000 Korean Won (cash only). This amount should last you for most of the 3 days.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hey there, I'm Jess!
I'm a travel content creator currently based in Canada, but have been island hopping in Greece, lived in Seoul for a month, vacationed in Costa Rica, and taken countless round trips across Western Canada.
I’m a deep researcher and meticulous planner, it’s how I thrive traveling to multiple countries a year! To me, a perfectly balanced trip includes experiencing a few thoughtfully selected tourist highlights as well as veering off the beaten path to explore like a local.
I focus on creating guides and custom itineraries that include:
- authentic experiences
- local recommendations
- mindful tourist attractions
- modern yet budget conscious stays
My husband and I love to spend most months of the year exploring new countries, but when summer in Canada hits, we love to camp and take road trips across the country.
If you need a hand planning an unforgettable trip to Europe, East Asia, Western Canada or Central/South America—let’s connect! I'm here to make sure your next trip is an effortless experience, and one you'll always look back on fondly.
