Jeju Island Trip

In mid-November, I went to Jeju Island with Jessica, Sarah, and Carson for our last weekend vacation outside of Seoul before finals.

The weather was unpredictable as we assumed there was going to be rain for the next couple of days, but the first two days were sunny! I enjoyed being in a new environment that is similar yet different from Hawai’i. We spent our days visiting cafes, souvenir shopping, going to museums, and overall making the best of our time here.

🗓️ Planning

We booked our flight with Asiana Airlines for approximately $130 USD (round trip). I heard from previous experiences that getting around Jeju-do by bus is not recommended, so we relied on Kakao Taxi to get to certain areas. For the second day of our trip, we hired a taxi driver on Trazy for 8 hours! This option was convenient since the driver provided us with suggestions for alternative locations.
