 About This Blog


Hi, I’m the person behind this blog, relaxationtravel.

I enjoy traveling across Korea, from well-known attractions to quieter local spots, often exploring on foot.

This blog is a personal space where I share my travel experiences, along with practical and easy-to-follow guides for international visitors.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Popular tourist destinations in Korea

  • Hidden places and local neighborhoods

  • Walking routes and travel itineraries

  • Simple and realistic travel tips

Some places are busy and vibrant, while others are calm and peaceful. I try to cover both, so you can experience different sides of Korea.

All content is based on personal experience and research, written to help you plan your trip more easily.

Whether it’s your first time visiting Korea or you’re looking for new places to explore, I hope this blog can be helpful.

Thanks for visiting.

Grab a roll and take a stroll around the island, or sit on a bench to enjoy the breeze while savoring your meal. You can also dine indoors with a scenic view of the Han River. • Name : Witch Kimbap (마녀 김밥) • Address : 2F, B Building, Nodeul Island, 44...

Let’s SEOUL: Part 5 -Nami Island/E-land Cruise/Myeongdong Cathedral/K-Star road/Yongma Land

  The global popularity of K-pop is now accompanied by an ever-growing love for Korean dramas. Today, Korean dramas are enjoyed worldwide, but just a few years ago, this wasn’t the case. One show that marked a turning point and became a mega-hit in both Korea and Japan featured an iconic scene of the male lead walking on fallen autumn leaves. This moment left a lasting impression on viewers, and the filming location became as popular as the drama itself— Nami Island . Known as the “fairy-tale island of songs,” Nami Island offers a variety of exhibitions and concerts, making it a joyful destination for tourists.
