I'm 16 and considering traveling to Seoul alone - what do you think?
I'm thinking about traveling to Seoul alone for around 2 weeks next summer when I'll be almoust 17.
My parents would fully give me permission to travel alone and would be involved in the planning. I'd also make sure I have all the necessary documents, insurance, parental consent, and accommodation that accepts minors.
I've been learning Korean and I'm really interested in Korean culture, so this is something I genuinely want to experience. I'm also aware that traveling alone as a minor is different from traveling as an adult.
For people who have been to Korea, especially anyone who has traveled there alone at a young age:
Would you recommend Seoul for a 16-year-old traveling alone?
What difficulties might I have because I'm a minor?
Are there any problems with hotels/Airbnbs, transportation, restaurants, etc.?
Is there anything you wish you had known before traveling to Seoul?
And if you were 16 again, would you personally feel comfortable doing it?
I'd especially love to hear from anyone who v actually traveled to Korea
