Day in the Life of a Backpacker in Seoul 🇰🇷 Hostel Tour, Sight Seeing + Shopping!
Being a solo backpacker in Seoul is quite different to my usual backpacking destinations! In this vlog, I recorded a day in the life where you can see a tour of my hostel, what I got up to in the day (shopping in Hongdae, going up the N Seoul Tower and visiting a Korean bathhouse!)
That blog post I read about Spa Lei www.svadore.com/spa-lei-korea...

ABOUT ME🙋🏻♀️
I'm Christianne, a solo traveller, vlogger and entrepeneur from Surrey, UK. I spend half my time exploring new places around the globe with my backpack, and the other half creating videos about my experiences, what I'm packing, solo travel advice, money budgeting tips and anything else in relation to my backpacking lifestyle.

FAQ's
How do you afford to travel? - I now earn a full time living through creating these KZread videos, affiliate links, selling digital products and my clothing line. I used to simply just work any temporary job I could find to save up to travel! I budget the money I earn meticulously to reach my savings goals using www.backpackingbananas.com/pr...
Is travelling solo safe? - I would argue the answer is almost always yes! As long as you use your common sense and you follow your own government's guidelines about travelling in that country. I have made several videos on backpacking safety on my channel.
Do you have plans to settle down? Yes, I'm currently saving to purchase my first property in the UK and I'd love to have children one day. I doubt I'll ever live a completely 'conventional' lifestyle by society's standards though, as I often have my own preferred way of doing things.

That is an amazing value for the amount of space and quality of the accommodation. It may not be the greatest for meeting people, but the space itself is one of the best I've seen. Other hostels should take notes.

You look very good on this video ❤✈️
that little asmr whisper sesh at the end was unexpected... and enjoyable
Great video. I also never understand the foodshaming about not eating local food 24/7. I think the people who do it, have not traveled long term. And also, not all people are foodies and food is not their main traveling aim.
Any new updates on backpacking solo shop?

Hi! Is there a space for luggage at the hostel? Planning to stay for a few days in that hostel on December.
is the lounge area open 24/7? I was curious since I work remotely and would have to be on PST, so 12am - 8am in Seoul.

If the lockers didn't work, where did you end up securing your stuff with a lock? That's always my first priority when sharing a space! This hostel sounds like the perfect place to stay otherwise.

Just in my dorm bed, the whole rooms were securely locked and as there were only two of us, I figured it was okay!
you are right. when we went to Peru my mate ate pizza for most of our meals there, he did try local things but the guy just loves pizza, no shame

I do think there are other hostels that are more social but they were all booked out when I was looking to book (I only booked a couple days in advance). So I’d look to book a hostel at least a month in advance to get the best most social ones!

I went crazy in the skin care while I was there too. You get so many thongs and they are great quality. Cant wait to go bajc and get more and explore more of the country
