Korea Travel Vlog: Traveling to SEOUL, KOREA for the First Time!

Flying to Korea for the first time! In this Korea vlog, I wanted to share with you my first time flying to Seoul, Korea, and riding business class for the first time. Traveling to Seoul 2022 requires a K-ETA, and Korea Qcode but the flying requirements to Korea are constantly changing. I took Asiana Business Class using my credit card points and it was such a great decision. I'm so excited to create this Korea vlog series where I can share everything to do in Korea before I return to the States. Please let me know of any suggestions of some fun things to do in Korea, too! Hope you enjoy Journal Entry #1 of my seoul vlog :)
