Traveling in South Korea With Usd 152 Only.
You know what, in fact, you can travel in the Republic of South Korea with a budget of USD 152 only! Outside the plane ticket and spending money, just by USD 152 alone, you can enjoy a holiday in Seoul, the capital of the Republic of South Korea and its surroundings for a week! How can we do that?
The first day

| ewha (trinitylaban.wordpress.com) |
 |
| hongdae (socoolkorea.com) |
To save costs, you can stay in a hostel or a cheap guesthouse, which cost about USD 11 - 12 per night. Most of them are located in the Hongdae area, so in the day, you can gather around in a crowded area full of young children. You can walk to Sinchon and Ewha while also enjoying the crowded atmosphere and delicious street foods.
The second day

 |
| Nami Island (seoulsearching.com) |
You can take the subway and bus to Nami Island, a romantic island where the filming of 'Winter Sonata' is. To save money, look for lunch before boarding the small boat to the island, to buy food outside would be cheaper than buying in. After having fun and taking pictures in Nami Island, return to Seoul and visit Gwangjang Market. There you can taste a variety of Korean food with taste and price that fits in the pocket.
The third day

If the weather is good, why do not you try to climb the mountain in the city of Seoul? There are many mountains you can climb, one of them is Gwanaksan (suitable for beginners). While climbing the mountain, you can see a lot of grandparents who are kindly offering food to visitors and young people who are trying conquer the mountain. Do not forget to say "kamsahabnida" ;)

It's been a week you are in the Republic of Korea. When you have time for sightseeing, you can drop in to the Seoul N Tower. You do not have to pay if you do not go up. You can take pictures with its tower from the bottom and then put the padlock of love's promise in fences. If you are singles, maybe you can make an appointment with someone to go back to Korea at the next opportunity.
Happy traveling! Do not forget to take home a souvenir. Cheers :)
