  • Revenge Travel: Winter in Seoul 2022

    Revenge Travel: Winter in Seoul 2022

    Revenge travel is a thing nowadays especially after being stuck at home for more than two years. As the world slowly opens, more and more places are becoming hotspots for revenge travel. One of which is South Korea. Last October, South Korea recently lifted its COVID-19 testing requirement making it an easy decision to come back and spend winter in Seoul.

    As long as you have a visa and have registered for Q-Code, you can enter South Korea. However, getting a visa is still not that easy. Visa appointment schedules are always almost full and I’m the only one that was granted a multiple visit visa in my family. I will not get into the nitty gritty of visa applications kasi di ko din naman alam. Haha! I’m just saying that getting a visa is not as easy as before so allot more time and manage your expectations.

    Here’s my Seoul Winter 2022 itinerary. Baka lang ma-inspire kayo with my outfit and poses. char!

    I’ve been to Korea three times since 2016. The first one was when my friends and I had a memorable autumn experience in Seoul and Sokcho. I literally have tons of videos in my hard drive. I didn’t get to edit them on time and share them to you last year so here’s a short teaser of the first Amiciness Goes on a VL: Korea episode. Hope you enjoy!

    Have you ever been to South Korea? What was your favorite autumn destination? Sound off in the comments section below.

    A Visit to “Viva Polo”

    I visited EXO Chanyeol’s Italian family restaurant “Viva Polo” last April in Seoul. The food’s really, really good! Every bit of it is worth all the Won in my wallet.

    Hunting Down “Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo” Filming Spots in Seoul, South Korea

    ,

    I was stressed the week before and during Holy Week so I did something crazy: I booked a flight bound to Seoul, the land of Kim Bok Jo , the next day! Okay, it wasn’t all that crazy. It’s just crazy for my pockets. I was crashing a Korean spring trip of my friends (who booked their tickets last year btw). Not having time to regret my decision, I had to go home straightaway and pack my bags!

    My friends were going to Nami Island and considering I’ve been there three times already, I passed and decided my trip to visit all the filming locations of the latest Korean drama that I fell in love with: Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (Korean title: 역도요정 김복주). Exploring the city alone was no problem but the fact that no one was there to take my picture made me second guess my decision. All’s good. *tears*

    Here are just five of the best Kim Bok Joo filming spots that I found. Enjoy!
