❄️Travel to Jeju in Winter!❄️

For my first ever solo trip this winter, I decided to go to Jeju. I was a bit hesitant at first considering how most people talked about the unreliable public transportation and suggest getting a car to get around, I would say it really is better to experience it for yourself first. Public transportation is not difficult, it’s actually quite convenient considering how the bus stops are broadcasted in English and there’s plenty of signs everywhere. Each bus stop has an interactive map that shows you which bus is approaching and the relevant stops. It’s touch screen and you can easily change the language to English. For any Korea related travels, I’d recommend these 3 apps: Kakaomaps, Kakaotaxi and google translate! Kakaomaps gives you the exact way/ stops in order to go to the place you wish to go. However, the bus stops are in Korean and without google translate, I really wouldn’t know where to get off so please have these two things ready. On the first day of my solo trip, I went to Osulloc, a tea museum. I would say it’s not as immersive of an experience as one would expect but the architecture and the overall ambience of the place was nice. It really helped how the weather and climate in jeju is quite pleasant. It’s family friendly and they have a cafe that sells great delicacies, as well as souvenirs made with the tea from the fields. Innisfree is also nearby so you can make a quick stop for some authentic and organic goods from their beauty store as well as their bakery (where I got hallabong + mandarin jam! Really good btw, recommend!) Will post about snow and hallasan hiking soon :D #solo #jeju #Korea
