Second SK trip in may
Hi all!
In may, i will be in south-korea for a second time. Back in 2023, i visited Seoul, Sokcho, Hahoe Folk Village, Gyeongju, and Busan. Now I will be in Daejeon for 5 days for work, and have a couple of days before and after. I like hiking and culture, and I will be doing everything with public transport. If anyone has any feedback on my itinarary, please go ahead!
Day 1: arrive in ICN in the morning. Train to Deajeon (arrive in the afternoon). Try not to crash from jetlag
Day 2: sightseeing or hiking in Daejeon
Day 3: also daejeon. Potentially running a HM
Day 4-5-6-7-8: work in Daejeon
Day 9: Gwangju (easy morning, travel, sight seeing)
Day 10: Gwangju (daytrip jeonju)
Day 11: Gwangju (Naejangsan National Park)
Day 12: Suwon (travel in the morning, sight seeing)
Day 13: Suwon (sight seeing)
Day 14: seoul (travel in the morning, sight seeing)
Day 15: Seoul (sight seeing)
Day 16: fly back
I will probably go to south-korea with my bf at some point in the future, who’s never been so we will probably explore seoul more then, so i’m not looking into too much seoul. I also don’t want to do foodie-things as i am vegetarian and previous experience in south korea wasn’t great in that regard
