Annyeonghaseyo!*
*(Hello in Korean)
That was, and still is, 1 of the few Korean phrases I know before I went to Korea last year in August. Me heading to Korea would never have materialized then if not for a friend asking if we, my friends and I, would like to go as she can offer us free accommodation in Seoul. So, definitely a huge thank you to her! :)
Funfact: This is the first time in my 22 years of life that I travelled overseas with only friends. Seoul, it was a pretty huge milestone for me.

I spent a total of 13 days in Korea which means a lot of places were visited.

Let's start with one of the most beautiful places I've had the privilege of visiting - Namiseom Island
(or affectionately known as just Nami Island)

| Did you know? Namiseom declared its cultural independence as a self-governing country, Naminara Republic, in 2006 and has its own national flag, anthem, passport, currency etc. |
