If you are traveling soon to Korea and want to know how to get around without breaking the bank, the best way is to learn from our kababayans living there. They know the best travel hacks!
Which is exactly the case with Karla Obispo, a Filipina teaching and living in Seoul. Karla loves to travel around whenever she has the time, and shares her travel tips for others to enjoy as well! Gapyeong and Nami Island are famous spots for being used as locations for countless Korean dramas, and now you can live your K-Drama dream there now as well.
Here is what Karla shared with us:
I recently watched a short video about the 50,000 won challenge in Seoul. The girl was able to use her money to buy a couple of clothes and a pair of shoes. Since I value experience more than material things, I made a 50,000 DIY budget trip to Gapyeong City. 50,000 KRW is around 2,130 pesos.
