Hi, I’m Christina (@christinajotravels) 👋 I go to Korea every year, and it’s truly one of my favorite places in the world. Each trip has taught me something new — from cozy cafés tucked down side streets, to the local dishes I can’t stop craving, to skincare treatments that gave me that “Korean skin” glow.

This guide is exactly what I wish I had on my first trip. Inside you’ll find done-for-you itineraries for Seoul, Jeju, and Busan, plus day trips from Seoul that are actually worth it. I’m sharing my favorite sightseeing spots, restaurants and cafés, where to shop for Korean skincare, tips on finding a trustworthy skincare clinic, and the beauty treatments I recommend if you want that K-beauty glow-up.

Instead of spending hours scrolling blogs and second-guessing your plans, you can follow this guide and know you’re hitting the best of Korea — with a mix of must-sees and insider gems. ✨
