Good morning from Seoul—this vlog is basically my “first-timer’s guide” to what to do, what to eat, and what I’d honestly skip if you’re visiting for the first time (especially if you love food like me). We hang around Yeouido/IFC Mall, I do my Olive Young restock (the stuff that’s way more expensive in the U.S.), and I even try their skin scanner. I also found a Thai massage for about $50/hour… and let me tell you, it was the only relaxing part because they were really getting the knots out. I take you with me to Costco Korea to see if it’s actually worth buying skincare in bulk (spoiler: some of the prices shocked me), then we eat our way through Seoul—Hongdae dakgalbi for about $12 a person, Gwangjang Market (touristy, but a must for first timers), live squid, and the famous 75-cent sticky rice donut that tastes like deep-fried mochi/churro. We also hit cute cafe streets, the Kyobo Book Center, a palace stop, Namsan Tower (pro tip: the restroom view is elite), and end with districts like Seongsu and Myeongdong while trying to beat subway rush hour. I wrap it all up with what felt worth it, what wasn’t, and the easiest airport bus ride out.
