Having an inkling before I arrived, of the coffee scene that I might find here, I was even more amazed by what I actually discovered. Not only is there an entire street called ‘Café Street’ but there are coffee shops quite literally everywhere! The vibrant coffee culture in Busan Korea is next level amazing. Take …
I wrote a post with the first group of ideas for fun and interesting activities in the city. But there is just so much more, so I have to create another post. Here are 5 more free things to do in Busan Korea that will keep you busy and entertained. Bujeon Market Located between the …
I am a beach girl at heart. Nothing brings me more pleasure and healing, than walking at a beautiful beach, toes in the sand, sound of the surf methodically placating my racing thoughts. I was ecstatic when I reached this beach. Dadaepo Beach, my favourite in Busan Korea by far. Getting There I took the …
Always on the lookout for interesting and of course budget friendly things to see in any destination is goal of mine. As is creating these posts to help other travellers discover places that are perhaps of interest and often over looked. Here are 5 free things to do in Busan Korea that I found particularly …
This is my first time to Korea and one thing I did not expect, not in a thousand years, was the abundance of patisseries, boulangeries and bakeries brimming with delectable French pastries and Korean adaptations. I’m not kidding when I tell you I am surrounded. The mouth-watering delicious bakeries of Busan are out of this …
I had seen photos of this adorable place online before I arrived. Instantly, I knew it would be of interest, for the use of colour and street art is a definite magnet for me. A nice sunny day arrived and it was time. Come spend the day with me at the quirky Gamcheon Culture Village …
Previously, I wrote a post about having Botox done at this same clinic. Today I will describe my experience with VBeam Laser for rosacea at ReNewMe Skin Clinic in Busan. This clinic is where I decided to have treatment done after hearing about how amazing Korean skin care is, continually on social media. Brief History …
One thing I have heard over and over and over, is how great Korean skin care is. Every aspect in fact, from the cosmetic brands, to the lotions and potions. This also includes dermatology and all things skin related such as tattoo removal, acne scar repair and everything in-between. I had some work done, here …
An incredibly beautiful and historic place to visit just outside of the city is this temple. Founded in 678, this large complex is a fully functioning training temple and one of the most precious in this land. A national treasure, the Beomeosa Temple in Busan is definitely worth a visit. Getting There Taking the metro …
It was by accident that I bumped into this village in Busan. I was looking for another village, walking around this hilly area, when I discovered a sign and small museum. Quite by chance, I realized I had found a treasure. I spent a fascinating day at Ami-dong Tombstone Village in Busan. Getting There A …
You all know I’m a beach girl at heart. If there is one to be found I will be there with bells on. There are a few beaches in this sprawling metropolis and I am visiting the most famous one first. A beautiful day at Haeundae Beach in Busan was just what I needed. Getting …
A travel tradition of mine is to see at least one cemetery in each country I have the pleasure of visiting. My experience in Bali was limited, as the majority of the population are Hindu and believe in cremation. The cemeteries there are for temporary burials, so were very small and underwhelming. My visit to …
I am lucky. I have decided to explore Busan for a little while, staying in an apartment, and the location is perfect. In a local area, surrounded by all things Korean, and what is one of those things? A big and bustling market! Shopping at the authentic Bujeon market in Busan has been extraordinary. Getting …
Oh gosh, I cannot believe I am in Korea! Like Japan, this destination has been a dream but one that I never expected to be real. Probably even more so than Japan. I have arrived and had a few days to adjust and explore. Here are my first impressions of Busan South Korea. Fast Driving …
I’m on the move again, its finally time to leave Bali and head to my next destination. Super excited about this move. The travel day will be relatively short compared to many I have done, but tiring as its through a night and includes a red eye. My easy travel day Bali to South Korea …
I have not made a secret of the fact that I have not enjoyed my time here in Bali. The country is suffering from over tourism, more than any other place I have visited. I was shocked by what I saw upon first arrival, the frustration I could see on the faces of the locals …
I don’t think I have hidden the fact that I have not had the best time in Bali. The country is nothing like I expected. Granted I did not do nearly enough homework so this is all on me. It was not a loss however; I did indeed discover some beautiful things that I really …
During my multi-week stay here, I have had the pleasure of my youngest daughter’s company for four of those weeks. When I travel solo, I rarely eat out, it is the predominate way I save money. However, having little bug with me gave me the opportunity to dine out on multiple occasions. These are some …
I have travelled a lot during my life. Most recently, I have been on the road for more than a year and a half. Spent the last five months in Asia. Never have I ever experienced bugs like I have here. Lets talk about the bugs and insects in Bali that seem out of control. …
I haven’t had the best time in Bali to be honest. The over-tourism, congestion, traffic, unsanitary conditions, amount of bugs and unexpected unpleasantness has been more than any other place I have visited. However, one thing that always brightens my day, and stay, is the vegetation. Botanical Bali, how beautiful the flowers are, bringing joy …
