Seoul – good for your soul

You can find happiness in a lot of different things. It might be the smell of your favorite flower or the taste of your favorite food. Mine was the freedom I felt while solo traveling in Seoul, South Korea. I have never been to a place where I felt so much happiness like in Seoul. I fell in love with the food, the people, the culture and the whole country by itself. If you have ever thought about going to Korea, this is your sign to go!!

I want to motivate people through my articles to expand their horizons as best as possible. Go out and see the world! I know a lot of people are scared of solo traveling, and honestly I was too. I still am afraid sometimes. But my journey in South Korea has definitely changed me as a person and my mindset. 

Here are reasons why you should solo travel at least once in your life.

I have learned different things along the way. The most important thing I learned during my journey was how to spend time with myself. Moreover, how to make the best out of it. I started to enjoy time alone and took myself on dates. Sometimes it’s weird because we think we look dumb to eat out alone. But trust me, nobody actually cares except for yourself. Don’t wait for others; just do it if you want to do it.

I don’t want to say don’t make new friends during your journey, because you will. No matter how much of an introvert you are, and how hard it seems to make new friends while abroad, there is always a possibility of finding people who match your energy and instantly click with your personality at the first moment. Honestly, in my opinion, if you can take a flight by yourself with no one else, you are capable of doing everything in your life.

But why did I decide South Korea as a destination for my first solo traveling experience? Since I was little, I fell in love with Korean dramas, and it didn’t take long until I fell in love with Kpop as well. I’ve seen a bunch of beautiful videos of Seoul, so why not? I spontaneously decided to go to Korea one day without any idea what I was doing there. But it’s okay to take a pause from your usual daily life and just go to the other side of the world. We are young. We should do things that make us happy.

As a female solo traveler, I have felt really safe in this country. I would recommend this country to anyone who wants to go solo traveling for the first time. People there are so respectful and polite, you can see so many beautiful places, and it’s easy to get along there. No worries about the language, I know only the basics of Korean, and I still survived to live there. But don’t be surprised; Koreans usually don’t really speak English, and they are not open to foreigners, but that shouldn’t stop you from visiting this breathtaking country.

I have never imagined myself being this happy in a foreign country where I don’t speak the language or know anybody living there. But I was the happiest I ever was in my life, and I will never forget the memories I made there. Seoul was really good to my soul.
