1-Day in Yesan: Splas Resort, Waterpark & Spa + Naepo Bobu Sangchon + Sudeoksa Temple + Yedangho Suspension Bridge [Sponsored by Trazy.com & K Story Tour]

Here's the 2nd installment of my 2 days/1 night Nonsan & Yesan from Seoul tour sponsored by Trazy.com & K-story! I already shared with you our fun 1-day Nonsan tour, after which we headed straight to Splas Resom in Yesan. We spent the night in this beautiful hotel/resort and then the next day, spent hours just chilling, relaxing & having fun at their waterpark and spa. One of the highlights of my whole Korea trip! We also visited a historic Buddhist temple & watched a water show at the beautiful Yedangho Suspension Bridge. Read on to know more...

1-Day in Nonsan: Sunshine Studio, 1950s Studio & Military Experience Center [Sponsored by Trazy.com & K Story Tour]

I have been to Korea before but I've never been outside Seoul, luckily this trip was filled to the brim with out-of-town tours so although tiring, it was super worth it! One of them was an invite I got from Trazy.com to come and join their 2-day Nonsan & Yesan tour from Seoul, of course I immediately said yes! I've known Trazy for years now (it's Korea's top travel booking site) so I was super excited to finally be able to join one of their amazingly curated tours. So without further ado, let's start our journey in Nonsan! Read on to know more...

Autumn in Korea 2017, K-Drama & Family Tour: Nami Island, Petite France, Garden of Morning Calm

Hello guys!!! I'm alive! Haha. I have more travel posts to share with you but I've been busy with this new Joshlia/Kris Aquino movie I'm styling (we only have a month left until our play date which is on June 13! Waah!) so singit singit ko muna in between. Here's another Korea post which I hope you guys could use as a guide when you're planning for your upcoming Korea trips! Anyway, my family and I took a trip to Nami Island and Gapyeong where Petite France and the Garden of Morning Calm are located. Some of my favorite K-dramas where filmed here! More about that later. We didn't book a tour but instead we explored on our own. I only relied on blogs and travel guides I read online. Success naman! More photos and stories below..

Hello, hello I'm back!!! Just came home from our 10-day Indochina backpacking trip and it was all sorts of awesome. Would love to share with you details from our recent trip but I will save that for later because as promised, I will finish my Korea posts and work on Krabi, Thailand muna. I did a poll on IG stories and most of you voted for these 2 places for my succeeding travel posts. Your wish is my command po! So anyway, here's another installment from my 15-day Korea adventure. After 1 week of discovering Seoul on my own (which was life-changing by the way), my family finally arrived! Hurray! Here are photos and stories from our first night and first day together..

Autumn in Korea 2017, K-Drama Tour Part 3: Samcheong-dong & Daehangno

Annyeonghaseyo!!! Orenmanida. I know my Korea posts are long overdue but I'm finally getting back on track with it! Had to put it on hold for a few weeks 'coz I had to prioritize some things. Anyway, here's Part 3 of my DIY K-drama adventure! As I've mentioned in my previous posts, last November I went on a 15-day Korea trip with Korea Tourism and then later on with my family. I was able to venture out on my own in between. Decided to use my alone time exploring the city by going to different shooting locations from my favorite Korean dramas! On my 9th and 10th day in Seoul, I visited some locations from The Heirs< While You Were Sleeping & Goblin! Photos and stories below...

Autumn Alone in Korea 2017: Pre-Planning Tips, Visa Application & Hongdae

I have already shared with you the first part of my autumn in Korea trip. Since I was only granted a single entry visa, I decided to do the media familiarization tour with KTO and Cebu Pacific and then just stay behind until my family arrives-- 7 days later. So I literally had a week ALONE in Korea. A country I have never been to. I was a bit scared but also super excited at the thought of discovering a new place all by myself. So guys, eto na!!! I'm finally sharing with you the first part of my solo travel in the land of oppas, unnies, kimchi, Samyang, soju and 10-step skin care-- Korea!!! But first, some pre-planning tips including budget! Yes, you can travel to Korea without draining your bank accounts. Photos and stories below...

Ladies Special Korea Tour, Day 1-2: Arrival, Incheon Hotel, Everland, Hwaseong Fortress & Dongdaemun Design Plaza

Annyeonghaseyo!!! Last month, I finally got to live one of my travel dreams-- visit Korea and experience autumn for the first time!!! There was a lot of praying and decision making that came with it, but I'm so glad everything worked out the way it should in the end. I ended up staying for half a month or 15 days in Seoul, South Korea! It was super unexpected and a spur of the moment decision, but it was one of those things that I felt was really meant to happen. One of the best decisions I have ever made. Read on to know the whole story...
