Same with you, at first, I was hesitant to travel to Korea since I heard that it is quite expensive but who can refuse the beautiful sceneries (instagram friendly lol :)), cheap cosmetics/skin care products (super!), romantic views, and mouth watering food the city can offer right. Seoul is really a must try destination!
Budget: Php17000 only!!!!!

Accommodation: Soo Guesthouse located at Jung-gu Seoul Korea. Cheaper than getting a hotel room. Visit their website or email sooguesthouse@gmail.com. The place is so nice! very clean and spacious plus the owner is so hospitable. great location as it is near train station like 5 minutes walk, across the street is Myeongdong (shopping destination) where you can find a lot of cosmetics/skin care products. also,It is a walking distance also going to some tourist attractions like N Seoul Tower where you can take a panoramic view of the city, lock your love locks, and other attractions. There are a lot of convenience store also outside the place so you have nothing to worry. All are within your reach.
Flight: Cebu Pacific! I only got my roundtrip ticket for Php4000++
Where to go:
- Everland - biggest theme park in Korea. they give discount to tourist. Just present your passport or print discount ads from their website. Entrance fee is KRW48000. There are a lot of rides. similar to disneyland, the korean version! Try T Express,the best wooden coaster! iikot ang bituka mo sa sobrang taas! i also try Horror House! sobrang nakakatakot sa loob and the instructions are in korean! takbuhan talaga at sigawan sa loob! super fun! there are a lot of activities inside. Must see also is the Zoo Adventure where you can have an encounter with tigers, giraffes, bears. Don't forget to watch the parade of lights and the fireworks display! worth the wait.
- Nami Island - very romantic place..this is where the TV soap/show Endless Love shoot some of their scenes. Best time to go here is during Autumn for me where the leaves turn into red/orange. picture perfect!
- Namsan Tower/Love Locks - take pictures with the famous N Seoul Tower and the love locks. Take a rest with the cool breeze while seeing the view of Seoul. Cost is only KRW8500 for roundtrip cable car ride. Open from 10am to 11pm. Best time to go here is 5PM!
- Hanok Village - where you can find traditional korean houses. Take subway and alight at Anguk Station
- For Catholics, visit Myeongdong Cathedral (open from 9am-9:00PM)
Here's my Itinerary:


I will definitely go back to this place again! I want to buy more skin care and optical items, its cheap here. Rayban for as low as Php4000!!!I bought a lot of specs for only Php1000 including the lenses. I went home with a lot of freebies from Skin Care brands like laneige, skin food, tony moly, etc! very cheap!!! that is why koreans have good skin. hahaha Next time I will go here, I'll try to experience their cherry blossom season. I'll let you know guys :)
