First Solo Trip!

South Korea | Sep 16 - Sep 30, 2024

It was my first solo trip, and I chose Korea (Seoul, Busan, and Jeju Island) as my destination. The trip lasted two weeks. It was my first time working with the KimKim agency, and Jessica was my travel agent. She did an amazing job planning and suggesting activities that I would not have thought of doing if I had planned it on my own. She was quick to respond to my needs, especially within the three months’ notice before my departure. Jessica was very accommodating and made changes to the schedule as needed. I liked how the itinerary included a little bit of everything. She organized a variety of activities, from popular tourist attractions like Bukchon Hanok Village, Haeundae Sky Capsule, and Nami Island, to outdoor adventures such as paragliding near Busan, hiking at Bukhansan National Park (highly recommend), and fishing on Jeju Island. All the drivers and guides were punctual and accommodating, ensuring that I was taken to and from the airport, hotel, and my planned activities. Before leaving for my trip, Jessica provided a thorough outline not only of my itinerary but also a mini cheat sheet with what to expect in Korea and useful phrases to learn. Learning these phrases was very helpful, and I used them daily at restaurants and cafes.
