Hello! We're Maria and Olivia. We're currently living in Athens, Greece after deciding to follow our dreams and start a new journey together traveling within Europe (and hopefully beyond soon) and filming our adventures. We love what we are doing so far, we're learning so much about the world, ourselves, and each other every day, and we hope you enjoy our content and have a smile or laugh along with us! 😊

South Korea is such a civilized country. Probably the most civilized country in the world in my book! yes, more than Japan! Most people doesn't even know that. Besides the popularity of the culture, it is also the 5th most powerful military power in the world! I will be visiting in about a year or so and looking forward to it!😊

We love you, too cuties.😍😍 Welcome to Korea. I truly wish you guys had a wonderfully memorable trip in Korea. I enjoyed it very much and thanks for sharing. In addition, as far as I know due to the national security reason(we're divided into two), the google map doesn't really work well in S.Korea. I hope it helps your understanding on the matter a little 🙂 Always welcome 🙂🌼🌼🙏🍀

It also tells you where the bus is coming, which subway entrance to take, how many meters to walk, and how many minutes it will take. In Korea, if a bus is late by more than ten minutes, it means that the bus has been hijacked.

My wife was born in South Korea. It is clean and hygienic compared to other countries. But twenty years ago, the air quality was poor. Vehicle exhaust pollution was one cause. On my first trip to Seoul, I looked at the sky - no blue sky. Over the last ten plus years, things have changed e.g. leaded petrol less used. Today, you see a blue sky. 😊

In Korea, it is natural to eat street food on the street. No one thinks you're being rude. And the orange mandarin you ate is a Chinese food. In Korea, I can tell you exactly where it comes from. Since we are not Chinese, we can honestly tell you where it comes from. In this era of world communication, there is all the food in the world everywhere. I hope you have a fun trip to Korea.
