went to seoul last february with my parents, didn't get to explore much of the city. was contemplating whether i should go back but this time on my own pero i was really anxious what other people would think seeing me eat and go out alone. your vlogs helped me get over my overthinking :> booked a flight for next month, wish me luck!

@tricie Жыл бұрын

Hi there! I'm sorry for the late reply, how did your trip go? In my case, Instagram and solo travel community threads were helpful for me but of course, always be careful when meeting up with new people! As for enjoying being alone, I treated my solo trip as a way for me to treat myself to do the things I really wanted to do that would make me happy - and at my own pace. Traveling with our loved ones is definitely so much fun, but seeing the world on your own, making new friends, and having that space for your own thoughts is truly a one-of-a-kind adventure 💝

Oh I was so nervous during my first solo trip, I was crying on my first night there 😭 But once you take the leap you'll feel so empowered and want to do it again! Seoul is such a safe city for solo travel and getting around is so easy. I think my best tip is that while you plan your itinerary of all the things you plan to do, it's nice to also have some days yourself to be spontaneous and wander around the city freely 💝

Very nice I'll be solo in Seoul myself in 3 weeks. I also will have to wait 7 hours to check in my Myeongdong hotel after I land. Don't know how I'll manage carrying 30 lbs of backpack all that time. I hope it's not too cold too as I'll be coming from India and not prepared for the dramatic temperature change.

@tricie Жыл бұрын

Hey there! You can definitely leave your luggage at your hotel, just ask the front desk - they should tag and keep it safe for you until you're ready to check-in. Best to do that so you can freely roam the city! Winter in Korea can be very cold, best to dress up in layers. UNIQLO heat tech is my best friend 🙈

Hi there! In this video, it was the fall season which was first to mid-week of November. The weather is perfect, it was the best kind of cool and some days were even still a bit warm for me. One thing to note is that the weather becomes drastically colder towards the end of the month! December-March is winter, late March to early June is spring, and June to August is hot/rainy. September-November is fall! ☺

Hi !! Your video is so great and helped me a lot in scheduling my future solo trip to seoul (i'll go on october for the first time and I can't wait 😅). I wonder something : did you speak korean or english during your trip? I wonder how korean people feel and react about talking one language or another. I'm currently learning korean and i'm wondering if it's better to try speaking korean with korean people or speak english till the begining. What's your opinion on that please ? I wanna try to speak korean but I don't want to seem rude or clumsy. Thank you !!! Have a good day 🤗

@tricie Жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching and I'm so glad this helped you out in planning your trip! Wow, the fall weather will be so perfect 🥺I'm also learning Korean so I took all the opportunities to practice whenever I had the chance, even with basic phrases like asking for directions, ordering food, or talking to taxi drivers. This helped boost my confidence in speaking and made me connect to the culture on a deeper level! You can definitely get by with English and a translator app around Seoul, but it's still helpful to know simple words. The locals are super kind and appreciate even the tiniest efforts to speak their language, don't be afraid to make mistakes because it's all part of language learning! You got this💝

I tried doing my first solo trip here without one and was surprised to find wifi everywhere (subways, restaurants, malls) but there were occasions when it didn't always work or I took a while to find a good spot. A sim with data is so worth it for the convenience of knowing you can access the internet anytime - for your maps, a quick google search, or giving someone a call. I wouldn't skip it :)
