Road trip in South Korea – from Seoul to the countryside
Like most adventures in South Korea, ours began in Seoul – an amazing city filled with delicious food, a dazzling nightscape, and lively shopping districts. The city was filled to the brim with things to see and do, it hardly made sense to head out and look for more.
But the call of the open road was strong. An hour into the road trip, any misgivings we may have about trading extra days shopping in Seoul for a road trip to some unknown were immediately dispelled. Before us were South Korea’s beautiful country roads, stunning lakes and mountains, and lovely villages.
