On our final day in Jeju, we woke up, got ready and had our last serving of homemade abalone porridge (전복죽). We seriously couldn’t get enough. After that, we packed our bags into the car and thanked the owners of the pension for a wonderful stay. This was quite possibly the most hospitable place we have ever stayed at. We wished we had had more time … Continue reading Jeju-do (Day 3): Cafes, Sushi and Flying Home
On our last day in Jeju, we decided to stop off at a cafe to plan the rest of our day. For the two days prior to that, we kept driving by a cafe so pink, it would make Barbie proud.

After the Korean War, Jeju-do became a popular honeymoon destination for newlyweds (and remains one today). Though it’s not as common now, many … Continue reading Jeju-do: Loveland (제주러브랜드) **NSFW**
Jeju-do (제주도), Korea’s largest island, is the most popular domestic holiday destination. It’s full of beautiful beaches, lush countrysides and forests along with amazing local cuisine. Taking a mere 1hr 10min to fly there from Seoul, it’s the perfect getaway for anyone who wants to vacation on a budget. Flying with a Dog (Domestically) Traveling is great, but for the boyfriend and I, it’s so hard … Continue reading Jeju-do (Part 1): Flying with Pets, Car Rental & Good Eats
