A detailed breakdown of my South Korea November 2024 trip, covering itinerary, accommodation, and expenses across Seoul and Jeju. While cards are widely accepted, many markets, small vendors, and T-Money reload machines still require cash. Here’s what I spent, where I stayed, and what to expect when budgeting for a similar trip.

My last day in Jeju was spent walking Jeju Olle Trail 10—a quiet, nature-filled route of beaches, fishing villages, and ocean views. What began as one last hike before my flight became a heartwarming encounter that made me want to return and complete the entire Jeju Olle Trail.

A coastal walk with city views—Jeju Olle Trail 8 offers a mix of seaside paths, resort areas, and distant glimpses of Hallasan. A different side of Jeju, where nature meets the island’s modern rhythm.

Jeju Olle Trail 6 offers one of the most beautiful coastal walks on Jeju Island, combining waterfalls, cliffs, and black sand beaches in a short 11.6 km route. A perfect balance of culture and nature just outside Seogwipo.

Starting from Seogwipo, Jeju Olle Trail 7 follows a 15 km stretch of coastline past waterfalls, beaches, and fishing towns—offering the perfect mix of city access and coastal beauty for first-time Olle hikers.
