Travel to Korea with Sister(s)
Travel & Leisure: Asia

Why do you want to do this?

My sister, Haneen, loves the music, and I have married into it myself. Korea looks to be a very interesting place to visit - not just beautiful places, but also quite traditional and seeped in culture.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Save up! No budget yet, but will work on that soon

Learning Korea so we can experience more

Making the time - Haneen wants to travel for more than two weeks. A point for discussion.

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

None big enough

Spending two weeks in Korea with my sisters (thinking Haneen and Baseema for now, maybe the two would also like to visit, don't know), it would be interesting to get together an itinerary that would suit all three of us because we have such diverse interest.

I'm more into historical and traditional places, my sister Haneen is more into the music and the art, and Baseema perhaps is similar to Haneen but also she has specific interests as well.  I want to visit places outside of Seoul... so the itinerary will be pretty interesting! 

We might actually split for a few days so we could pursue our own thing.

So, what would I want personally?  This will be a living list, because we may go to Korea in 2013 (waiting for Baseema to finish university and work to earn enough for this trip - that is, if she's coming):-

  • One of the islands
  • Public sauna
  • Overnight temple stay
  • Busan
  • Hot Spring

Loving it already!

 This is such a great goal, must admit have not really thought of going to Korea before but your passion for the country has me thinking I would love to see Korea now.
