15 Days Solo in Korea - Day 11

✨ Context

• My plan was a 15 days budget solo trip in Seoul, Busan and Jeju. I stayed in female hostels, flew budget airline and took public transport

• My style of travel is to go to as many attractions as possible; I am also not a shopping girlie. My day was usually 7am-7pm. As a foodie, somtimes I also travel just to go to a specific well-known restaurant although it is not near to any attractions. I also skip meals or eat some street food if I have had a heavy meal prior

✨ Day 11 Itinerary (in sequence)

If you are interested in staying hostel in Busan, I would recommend the one I stayed in, Nol Guesthouse ⭐️ (i booked through Booking.com). Location is near BIFF so you can enjoy street food for dinner and you are able to see the Busan Tower from the hostel rooftop. The place is bright, minimalistic style and clean. The bed is also very comfortable and cozy. I had a very good sleep every night that it was difficult to wake up early for my itinerary 🤣 They will also assign you to a room based on your gender so for solo female travellers, it is very safe as you will only be rooming with females.

1️⃣ Jagalchi Market

• The largest seafood market in South Korea, selling live and dried fish

• I visited it before my flight as my hostel is walkable distance to the market

• I didn’t buy anything but I went to check it out. I would say it’s the wet market equivalent of Sg

• I ate some light bites for breakfast from Goraesa Fish Cake (unique Busan-style fishcake) that has multiple branches and from the convenience shop.

2️⃣ Flight Busan-Jeju

• Flying from Busan to Jeju with JejuAir which is one of the cheapest flight carrier for this route

• JejuAir uses self check-in which was easy to use. The paper shown is my boarding pass.

• I ate a quick lunch at the airport (not pictured) and I am headed off to Jeju Island.

• After I reached Jeju, settled down in my hotel, the sun is almost setting so I takeaway some fried chicken from a nearby Mom’s Touch (multiple outlets) to eat in my hotel and rest up for the day.

• Mom’s Touch also used to be in Sg but has since exited so you can take this chance to eat it if you are interested
