I’d never given much thought to traveling to this side of the world prior to my move to Guam. When I was younger, I’d always been more interested in traveling to Europe to see family. I never would have thought that moving to Guam would mean I would get to explore Asia and the Pacific Islands. It first started with our trip to Philippines then to Japan (which has been one of the best trips of my life!) and soon Seoul, South Korea!
We crunched the numbers, found good deals on flights and places to stay, and decided to just do it. Although most things in Guam are pricey, flying to Asia has been way more affordable and obtainable in Guam than if we were back in Oregon. We have tried to take advantage of that opportunity. So what better way to celebrate my 30th birthday (O.M.G. I can’t believe it) than with a trip to somewhere neither of us have been, South Korea! It’s been more than a year since we’ve been off island so we are really looking forward to this trip! Very excited to add another country to the list 🙂
If you’d like to suggest anything I should do/places to eat while there, please feel free to leave a comment thanks!
You’ll love it 🙂 How long are you there for?
Just for a few days next month. I’ve been doing tons of research and I’m really excited!
You HAVE to go to a Jjimjilbang 🙂
Can’t wait to see pics!! thank god for cameras and social media at it best ! 🙂
That’s AMAZING and when I saw 30????!!! that was a shocker lol but I’m there with ya! lol I’m really happy that you get to experience this, make wonderful memories!!! Yes take advantage now, now is the time 🙂

For future trips, you may want to look into going to places like Singapore or Hong Kong. I’ve taken a trip to Hong Kong via Manila for a rate cheaper than the flights offered by most travel agents or on the web. There’s lots of low cost options to South East Asia and beyond from there.
I enjoy travel but like you the least fun part is planning it all. Hope you have a great time in Seoul.
Yes, there are some good deals from Manila. Thanks for stopping by!
If you drink alcohol, soju is a must! I had it with coke! I also loved the kimchi stew!!! So yummy!!! Have fun!!
