We came here with low expectations. People online said it that we should probably skip it, but after two days in the city, we learned how wrong that was. It's a city that changed our whole perspective on how we travel. This video follows our first ever visit to Seoul, from the moment we landed after a long travel day to the last bite of fried chicken before our flight out. We wandered through markets like Namdaemun and Gwangjang, tried mandu, hotteok, tteokbokki, and Korean barbecue, explored Gyeongbokgung Palace, and spent time getting lost in Bukchon and Ikseon-dong. We figured out buses, the metro, the apps and how to really properly enjoy Korean BBQ. Most of all, we discovered a city that felt warm, creative, and full of life. A place that surprised us in the best ways. If you are curious what Seoul feels like beyond the trendy places you see on TikTok or Instagram, this is our honest experience of seeing the city for the first time. No perfect itinerary, no checklist, just two travelers trying to understand a place that quickly became one of our favorites.
