Me and my friend are going on a spontaneous trip soon, I’ll be heading out tomorrow and him in a couple days. This will be both of our first times in Korea so just looking for some advice. First what’s the best/cheapest way to get around? Secondly what are some suggestions you have for places to check out (food, hikes, museums, etc.) in the areas we will be? Third are there any things I should be aware of or keep in mind that travelers sometimes forget that you wish you knew from the start? These are the times we’ll be in different cities->
Seoul: May 18th - 24th
Gyeonju: May24-26th
Busan: May 26th-28th
Jeju: May 28th - June 3rd
Seoul: June 3rd night to June 4th.

Also for the week in Seoul my friend already booked a stay at the Time Travelers hostel and I just wanted to see if I should as well or if you guys would suggest a different spot that’s near there cause from what I’ve seen not really that clean.(I haven’t booked any hotels/hostels for any of the cities since I just bought the plane ticket this week so if you have any suggestions for the other cities that’d be great too.

Hey guys,
So my friend is gonna be leaving for Korea this Tuesday and finally convinced me to tag along because I was able to find a decently priced ticket. This is my first time traveling outside my home country without my family so just need help with a couple basic things. Firstly, obviously I’m gonna need to spend money there somehow so I’ll need a card, I’ve seen a lot of ads for Wise and wanted to see if that’s a decent card and simple to use? Also what would be the best way to contact family and friends back home without getting any international fees on my cell? If you guys have any suggestions on things I should do or know before heading out please share below, thanks. I’ll be leaving Sunday solo and will be spending 2 to 3 weeks in South Korea as some background info if that’s necessary.
