24 Things You Need to Know Before Traveling to Korea 2024

How about Apple map? Does that work in Korea?

Great video with a lot of useful information! We are in Seoul right now and Maya's information is very accurate.

Thanks for sharing! Has anybody thoughts & experiences regarding Andong [ gyeonsangbuk do] ?

In 1 week (May 1st), I'm landing in Seoul at 5:40pm so I'm afraid I'll be in the rush hour in the subway.. 🥲

Can we find toilet easily ?

I bought a Korean Sim Card for 14 days at the airport and that was definitely cheaper than 120$, I think it was around 60-70$.

Omg the cult thing wth

Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?

I am considered to move too fast in America. In Korea, I felt slow lol.

Wow Koreans Are So Modest & Polite How Refreshing
Note To Foreigners Behave Yourselves Barbarians

Thank you so much for this video.

Thank you so much! I am planning on moving to Korea when I’m older and so this helps me a lot!

Hi Maya, me and my bf are going there on May 28 until June 9
I wanna know the weather by that time, i hope you could give me some help thankyou

Thank you for the very helpful tips. Are there any customs one should know when visiting Korea that could help one benefit from the experience?

I am going to Korea 한국어😂

Very helpful tips! My brother and I are leaving for Korea in about 3 weeks! We will be staying in Seoul, Busan, then Jeonju. We will be there for 12 days. Any recommendations for your favorite places would be awesome!
Thank you so much for your video.

Hi, Good info - Thank you - We are backpacking in Korea. We are reaching there end of May this year. We are travelling around for 2.2 weeks. Would you kindly guide us, which places to visit. we like more nature scenic places and small towns.
so far we have booked Nami island and would love to hear your suggestion. Many Thanks

I’m going to be staying at Arirang Hill Hotel Dongdaemun. I never hear that hotel recommended so I keep wondering if I made the wrong choice 😂

I’m going to South Korea in November and your tips are gold! It’s extremely hard to understand how to catch a ferry from Busan to Jeju and from Jeju to Seoul since most companies vanished. The best website I can find is Sea Ferry, but it’s in Korean 😢 And Ferries Direct website says there are “no further sailings”. I already understood I might need to take the ferry in Mokpo or Haeman Usuyeong… Do you know an English website where I can book a ferry to Jeju Island? I truly appreciate your help Maya 🤍

I have noticed that the Shinbundang line was very expensive compared to the other subway lines in Seoul. I was planning a trip to Everland from Seoul station and the subway app recommended me a way that included the Shinbundang line, the price for that was 5300 ₩. But when I selected "fewest stops" the app gave me a way to Everland that was a little bit longer but more than half the price. So warning everyone for the Shinbundang line

I want to go to Korea now 🎉

A question I have can you not prepay for a taxi already

Are the hotels there good? I'm going to Seoul in a few months with my grandma, but I have no idea where to book the hotel. Thanks for the good tips though!

Ahhh i’m going to korea for a trip in a couple of days and im soooo nervous, this helps ease some of my worries thank youuu 🙏

Super helpful video. Ty!!! ❤

Nice & fun video! Be visiting korea for just barely a day(15hrs layover) this coming summer. I just wanna visit at least one popular place with my 15 & 12 yr old girls. Myeongdong, hongdae, or yongsan? Also, which one is more convenient to travel to from ICN airport?

Thank you for these tips <3 i'm going all by myself to Seoul for 3 months in September for the first time, so these were helpful!

If you are white you will enjoy your stay Regardless, if you spend money or not. If you are black and brown, and if you do not spend money, they will shun you, call you names and harass you until you leave their area. The freedom is like America but their culture is like North Korea. To tell you the truth, there’s nothing special there that other better places can offer

I am planning to go in May. Any tips?

Hi Maya, loved your video, it is super helpful and you explain it in a fantastic way!! Regarding cash and credit cards, can you share if stores in Korea are now accepting apple pay or credit cards? Thank you!!

Can you get the T money card at the airport when you get there

I’m going in September for my birthday!! Thank you for the tips!🫶🏽

Great tips!!! Which skin care clinic did you go to?

Thank you for covering important things as well as sharing some helpful nuggets.

This looks like fun. Except the cults sound a little scary. No creepy buildings in the middle of deserted places thanks. but the areas you showed look interesting. I would like to go someday. Hopefully I’ll have someone with me who is better at directions than me.

Aren’t the rush hours from 8-10am and 5-7pm?

Hi Maya! Thank you for these helpful tips! Quick question, which among the convenience stores usually carry the BTS t-money cards? Are we required to return our t-money cards before returning home? Also, would you say bus transportation is efficient enough in Jeju or renting a car would be better? Just trying to prepare diligently for my first trip to Korea in about 2 weeks since I will be there for 3 weeks :)

The first time I went to Korea, I literally took a photoneverytime I saw a trash can. They were that rare. 😂

Fab - have downloaded Kakao and Naver Maps and the Subway apps. Also Airalo for the eSim. Can't wait to come back in 4 weeks - still have my T-money card from my last visit too! Many thanks for your tips! 🇰🇷😊

Where is a good place to shop for teenager clothes, boy and girl

Im a white trash redneck from Texas... The Korean company Ive worked for 5 years is sending me to Korea for 3 weeks.....I am scared AF of going. Im physically tough and wont get pushed around but it all is overwhelming. Ive got one week before I go...... the nore of these videos I watch....the more scary everything is getting.

I’m going to Korea in October and this is really helpful. Thanks so much Maya!!

I would love to go to Korea one day…😊

I've been to Korea twice already but you taught me some great new tips in this kind and helpful video!

Hi. I lived there for about 7 years about 20 years ago. I just bought plane tickets but noticed you are wearing a mask everywhere you go. Are they still doing that over there? That will make for a really crappy vacation playing that game everywhere I go.

Great tips for Korea trip.
