As a Korean teacher, I am very happy that influencers like you are creating Korean travel content for foreigners!

Thanks. This was so helpful and you gave tips that we don’t often get. A friend was touring Seoul and a man approached her and wanted to marry her. Since she is already married she laughed at it but now I wonder if it was a cult. Good to be aware while we enjoy your beautiful country.

Very helpful information. I started planning my trip to South Korea two years before I went. I studied everything! My daughters and I had so much fun! No problems at all! You just need to prepare and join travel sights! That’s how I discovered you Dan!

I just visited for 14 days trip, I love Korea and Korean people very much and I still do, The one thing I am disappointed with is, Korean people don't smiles I don't know the reason behind this , I was so excited to visit Korea and meet Korean people but nobody smiles back at you , I hope and wish Korean people smile more when someone smiles at them, I love everything about Korea and Koreans very very much ❤❤❤

Luckily when I went to Seoul, all of the restaurants I went to did allow me to dine alone. I absolutely do not know anyone in Seoul so it would have been a problem otherwise. Although I guess in Seoul there are so many restaurants and finding another restaurant will not be a problem. I also used Naver Map and it really was good especially for finding out which train or bus to use from point A to B. But its usage is a bit difficult if one doesn‘t know any Korean. I fortunately know some Korean so it was okay. The supermarket tip will be helpful when I go visit Korea again! Cheers!

Such great tips, thank you!

Thank you so much for the heads up and great information 🎉

Love the tip and content 👏👏👏

Thank you so much for this video, as always you are so upfront & helpful. I’ll be visiting in the next year & have been researching. I have to say, this video was the most helpful. ❤

Another great video by Danny! Thanks. A fan from Canada!

Thanks Dan! Very helpful!❤

I have enjoyed watching your videos since I discovered them last year. You are always so entertaining, and now informative. Thank you

Thank you Dan for the tips. Looking forward to my trip to Korea in April 😊

This video is going to be so helpful when I go Korea next year. Thank you. Awesome video. Love it.

This is the first useful video I watched about Korea. Thanks a million!

Thank you Dan for amazing tips and information! It’s really helpful for any future travels! I appreciate it Dan! ☺️🙇🏻‍♀️🙏

Very nice video, Dan! I learned a lot! It is nice to have these tips, it makes the trip to Korea a whole lot nicer and easier. Thanks for such an informative video! 🌞😊👍

I took some of your tips on the first trip I went there and they were very helpful. This is just as helpful for others.😊 thanks, Dan

Thank you so much! Those tips are really helpful and reliable and timely as I say. I'm planning to travel to Korea soon and your advices and tips are really much of a help for me to ease everything. Gomawo Hyungnim!

Thank you very much for these tips. I am planning a trip to South Korea next year and this has helped me alot 🙂

Thank you for all the travel tips. I hope to visit Korea it looks Awesome.

Great tips! Im a new follower and love your content. Straightforward and honest. Hope to visit korea one day

Thanks Danny! You're always entertaining and informative. Keep working hard. Hope to visit someday.

It’s so helpful this advice. Thank you Dan for always telling us before. I was once in Korea, I loved it but I don’t really know all these things. I agree with you, the little plastic bag is very important. ThXxxxxxx can’t wait to return back

Gamsahamnida for the tips! One day I will go to Korea for the first time.😍

Thank you so much Dan for the tips

Thanks for this video. I just shared it to my sister in law. My brother and his family are going to Korea for holiday end of this year. This video will be helpful for them.

Wow thanks for all the tips, it's extremely helpful! I really hope to have the opportunity to travel there! If I'll ever visit South Korea, your informative tips will definitely come in handy! Right now, subscribed to your Channel to follow any future tips! Thanks again for sharing! 💜🤗👍🏼

I’m glad RU-vid suggested this video. I’m about to go to Korea in a few days.

This is so helpful. Just found your channel. I will be in Seoul by myself in late March/April for the first time so any info is welcome. I work full time and been busy so I haven't even had time to study the language. Tips like this make me feel more confident.

Very good advice, thanks Dan.👍 As always, informative, to the point and based on your own experience. It’s cool, Dan, that on your channel you successfully combine different types of content: travel, interviews, advice, just sharing personal impressions, and so on. Keep it up. And don’t forget that you are just handsome (I hope you smile while reading this😊😉). Take care of yourself!

thankyou!!! it will be really useful for my future trip!

Thank you for all these tips man! Can’t wait to visit soon.

This was tremendously helpful. Thank you.

Thanks so much Dan for the info have a nice day ❤❤❤

So helpful!!😊 Thank you!

This is really great Dan, thanks!! I especially loved the late night snack video 😁 what a great tip. Plus i think it’s nice stores do that to save foods instead of just throwing them away. Also it’s nice if maybe you’re on a budget whether a resident or a tourist you could benefit from that. The money card that was also very useful as a person who has travelled its good to know these things. When we travelled to England, France and Italy we bought a Euro Pass for the train it saved us a lot. And i believe England had something for their underground, I’m thinking most places you can buy passes for transportation. If I’m ever fortunate enough to travel to Korea i will watch this again as well as your other video because you had other information in that one. Thanks great video. Not sure where you’re travelling next but i look forward to it 😁. Have a great day or evening time zones are not my specialty.

Thank you so much. This has been super helpful and all will be implemented. Also the late night snack sale😁. If I encounter a fellow tourist it would not surprise me if it were a follower of yours - now that you have spilled the beans so to speak 😁. And I will finally get to have a drink at your bar. Looking forward to that and the food 😊

Valuable tips for my October trip. Thank you Dan.

I’m going in few days and thank you so much for the great tip 👍🏼❤

Thank you for your amazing tips on Korea makes me feel I can travel here without getting nervous. From Australia Been to Japan 6 times

Very informative video, thank you Dan. I llbe in Korea this April ❤❤❤

Hi Dan, I just discovered your channel and I’m hooked..lol..Such a refreshing and thoughtful advice . I’ve lived in Seoul for a long time, my husband and I raised our kids in Seoul. We went back to Sydney back in 2008. I Love your channel. I was laughing at all the tips you discussed at how accurate it was.I remembered seeing the cults ladies in Itaewon long time ago.. Luckily for my family, my husband company provided us with English speaking drivers, so we were never exposed to most of the things you said… Love your work ..Keep it going. Love from Australia.

This is very helpful!

Daiso is insane, I love it. We went to the 11 floor one so many times and filled up a giant bag.

Thanks DAN! Will be in Seoul this May... helpful tips!

Im planning to go to korea for the first time hopefully this year. Im grateful to have come accross your channel. Thank you 😊!

We are going to Korea in May 2024 and we are very thankful for your tips! I'll keep them in mind. We wish you a very happy and succesful year!

I visited Korea for the first time in August, will be visiting Korea again in January which is in less than 2 months …. I am so exited ! Thank you for this great video ! ❤️

Hi from USA! I appreciate this helpful video, you discussed various topics!

Hi Dan! Thank you!

Thanks for the info, Dan. I will use it if I ever get to go to Kora.

Nice to hear you Dan!!! Good tips thanks

Thank you very much Danny for the great tips

Thank you for these helpful tips. I am visiting this year. Preparing myself to keep social interations with Koreans to a minimum (mostly hotel staff or checking out at a store and/or restaurant). Avoid/ignore those who try to socialize or approach us with love bombing or asking for directions. It will be a very interesting trip. Glad I have someone to travel with!

Thanks for the helpful information! I'll be travelling to Seoul this December and I'll be stopping by Incheon for 2D1N, hopefully I'll be able to visit your cafe and bar as well!

Thanks a lot 4 your tips !!!! Are very important for the people like me, that want to visit Korea❤🎉😊

thanks for the tips!! sub you! hopefully getting more helpful tips since I'll be traveling to Korea next yr!

Almost 100K. Keep it up! :)

Thank you, Dan. 😊

An outstanding video. Very informative.

Oh wow! So many good tips! Thank you. I've known about T-money card but the rest was a bunch of useful information. 감사합니다🙇‍♀️

Thank you Dan for your videos - It is very informative! T-Money card , Street Cults, Taxies, Trash Plastic bags - All these are excellent advices!

Thank you very much I have been there last year but it was still very interesting and I will come back.

Another interesting vlog and gives many of us a good insight into travelling in Korea. Thanks Dan!

Dan- we need more content from you!💝 Love learning all about you and your life in Korea.

Just came across your channel, great stuff. Heading back to Korea to visit friends and see the new Starfield Library

Perfect timing. I’m coming with my family from Canada next may (2024). 3 weeks all around Korea. So happy. Will try to find your wine bar lol

Thx a lot…so helpful…Talking about tips number 9 and 10, I think it’s similar to those in Japan…I mean, while traveling to Japan, I went to the big supermarkets there, such as Ito Yokado, Takashimaya, Sogo, they would give us certain discounts on Deli sections on certain time at night. N also, the Daiso thing, yeah, that’s one of my favorite shops while visiting Japan…so cheap n convenient…even here in Indonesia, where I’m living, I used to go to Daiso, too. N next to Daiso, there’s always Japanese grocery store called Papaya, that also gives certain discounts on Deli section at certain time at night…hmm, so interesting…new things to learn, I guess…

Thisbis very helpful! I am heading to Seoul in about one week and I'm trying to gather as much info as possible.

I was recently there and I love your country, already planning on going back

Really good info and made in a charming way :))

Thanks voor the info, we are going to Seoul in April!

Wow! Thank you for good tips. I go to soul with my daughter. Try to learn Korean as fast as we can. Yes we like k-pop as we are in the entertaining industry. And you look so good and have much charm and most important your videos are so professional. Good luck with your carreer. Love from Norway🇳🇴

I love this video. Please could you also make a video for foreign English teachers on what kind of teachers Korean people like.

Heading to travel through South korea a week on Monday so exited

I missed your videos 🥰 Thank you for once again preparing us and giving us a "heads up" before our trips to Korea. Hope you're doing well and you're happy ❤ 끝 P.S. I think you said about the wifi egg (the thing you can buy in the airport so you can have internet wherever you go) in other videos, right? 🤔

❤ thank you for this content I plan on moving to Korea to learn the language and experience the culture

After long time. Thanks for sharing valuable Vedio. It's always helpful. 👍

Visiting Korea is on my bucket list and hopefully it will happen within the next few years. These tips will be extremely helpful. And I will be sure to visit Zaneuk and hopefully get to meet you. Regarding your aura: I don't know much about this, but I would say you have a combination blue-green aura; you seem to have an inner light that radiates positive, uplifting energy that affects those around you and makes them feel good.

I’m going to Korea in two weeks n I’m so exited to be there soon ❤️❤️

wow, thank you for the info, it's really helpful. reminds me of my first experience in Korea 5 years ago,hmmm...miss the atmosphere of Gangnam and Hongdae 😊

Dan, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Take care❤😊.

Simple, and yet so essential to our lives 🤗 thanks a million for these thoughtful tips🙏 it comes from experience, best tips even if they sound “so wear”, strange: they are so meaningful. Such is the case of places were they do not serve one person. That’s so important when it comes to eating out. Can you imagine a Michellin food rater🤔 unable to give a ⭐️🙄😝 Danny, your videos are amazing🫶😘

Thank you very much for these useful information. Nice to meet you Dan.I am from Romania Europe
