Family vacation - what are the must sees?
Hello! We're planning a family trip in a few weeks from the US. I'm getting the basics down as far as etiquette, language, etc. (and we've all traveled abroad to a number of different cultures before so we acclimate pretty well) but we're trying to plan an itinerary that will make everyone happy, including kids/teens.
We are:
70-something male (the grandpa/patriarch) who is active and in good shape and into hiking and nature more than flashy stuff
17 year old male who is into video games (and apparently there is some famous korean gamer he's into?)
15 year old male who loves hard rock and wants to go clothes shopping
8 year old female who is low key obsessed with Korea right now (between K-pop demon hunters, taekwondo classes and multiple Korean friends at her school), she loves kawaii type stuff and spending mom and dad's money lol
40-something mom and dad who are kind of along for the ride, lol
We all love nature, beaches, food and getting a taste of how the locals live over doing tons of touristy stuff. None of us are big history or art buffs. Mom (me) is into world religion and wants to experience at least one good temple. I also want to get a picture doing the gangnam dance in Gangnam.....because despite what I said about touristy stuff, I also do love ridiculous and kitschy stuff like that. We'd appreciate frugal suggestions giving that there are 6 of us!
Oh and we literally all have ADHD if that tells you more about our vibe.
So far on our list are a couple of days in Jeju (flying in from Seoul), Nami Island, and somewhere we can rent hanboks and visit a palace, and of course at least a couple of days in Seoul. We have eight days which sounded like a lot but now that I'm researching that feels like hardly anything.....but it is what we have to work with lol. So what should we prioritize?
