The Story
Oh my days, you would not believe the absolute state I was in trying to navigate Busan, but honestly, it was such a laugh. I rocked up to this seaside gem expecting a chill time, but ended up in a whirlwind of colourful houses, insane seafood, and enough stairs to ruin my favourite trainers. The energy here is just unmatched, and I was constantly dodging locals while trying to look cute for the gram.
My itinerary was basically a disaster, but in the best way possible. I spent hours getting lost in the winding, mural-covered alleys of Gamcheon Culture Village, which felt like walking through a literal painting. After that, I stuffed my face with dwaeji gukbap at a bustling market, which was so delicious I almost forgot about my blistered feet. I finished off my afternoons by lounging on Haeundae Beach, watching the sunset with a cheeky drink in hand while pretending I was a main character in a K-drama.
Overall, it was a budget-friendly escape that gave me everything from mountain views to coastal chaos. It was a proper holiday filled with dramatic moments, gorgeous sights, and far too much food. If you need me, I will be recovering from the jet lag and dreaming about those spicy snacks.
