Small Budget Traveling to Seoul, Korea

Blossom in Seoul, Korea 2025 (23-28 April 2025) 🥰😍 #southkorea #backpacker #travel #naturalwonders #trip Alhamdulillah, we met kind and helpful people in Korea. They were very helpful when we asked about train directions. There were also many halal food stores, even along the streets. Every place we visited was lively, and there were many types of cafe in Seoul especially in Seongsu. The hostel we booked in Dongdaemun was near the train station and a CU mart, which made it easier for us to visit nearby attractions. We used T-Money throughout the trip. We spent RM350 per person for accommodation, RM90 for transportation, RM850 for the return flight, RM35 for travel insurance, RM800 in cash, and RM35 for the K-ETA. The total was around RM2,510. The places we visited in Seoul included Iteawon, Seoul Central Mosque, Myeongdong Street, Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, Namsan Tower, Suwon, Seongsu, Nami Island, Namdaemun Market, and Hongdae. The restaurants we visited for lunch and dinner included Eid Restaurant in Itaewon, Busan Jib in Myeongdong, Iftar Restaurant near Gyeongbokgung Palace , Mari Meokja in Myeongdong, Asia Family Restaurant in Nami, Nusantaraku and Indonesian restaurant in Hongdae. A special moment from this trip was meeting my Korean friend, Jang. I’m glad he still remembered me. On the last day before we flew, we met for dinner, and he kindly drove us to the airport at 1:30 AM for our 6:30 AM flight. Thanks, Jang!🫰🏻🥰
