Thank you! 🥰 It’s a beautiful place with lots of untouched nature ❤️ very peaceful indeed. I’m happy you enjoyed my adventure there, and maybe some day you’ll go yourself :)
I'm very pleased to watch this video. My hometown is Jindo. Actually, Jindo is the 3rd biggest island in Korea. First is Jeju-island, you know, and second one is Geo-je island. 2:24 small plant is red pepper.
The old lady were saying are you here for vacation 16:44 (Yoheng means vacation or travel) and you already said it back to her by saying (Yoheng) and got confused again trying to tell her you`re traveling haha how lovely :) You`re just amazing going this deep alone and vlog :) Loved watching :)
The environment in Jindo island is not old or before development or anything. It is just typical rural area that is not so rich or fancy. And, the houses were not so much destroyed by Korean war or Japanese invasion(technically just under Japanese regime, no war). The houses were just thatched and just too old.
And yeah in the rural area all is nice but people there are kinda limited. Even where i am very few would understand English in the rural area and you just cant talk anything with them. Its nice in the village because you immediatly feel the decongestion from the crowded and anxious cities but ive seen that after 2 weeks in the village, i had very few things to do and got bored so i got back to the bustling city
Yeah, I think it would be a challenge for me to spend more than a couple of weeks in a rural place like this without friends or a couple of local friends who spoke more English
@@20CamelsEmily i get the feeling, sign language is not so comforting:) i was once in greece in a rural area and no one knew any english. had to speak poor italian and lots of sign language. and in these areas that they dont speak english, they think everyone understands their language which is crazy. Some people dont like english as a universal language and dont think its a sign of respect to like speak a language that the most people on earth in most of the countries understand it. and im not english, i am from europe, if you dont know at least one foreign language its like you never traveled around the world, knowing another language opens up new mental and spiritual posibilities
한국에서 2번째로 큰 섬은 진도가 아니라 거제도입니다. 둘의 면적차이는 크지 않지만 거제도 면적 380 제곱킬로미터이고 진도는 면적 375 제곱킬로미터 입니다. 참고로 햇갈리면 안되는 것이 진도군 면적은 거제시 면적으로 비교하면 안됩니다 왜냐하면 진도군은 진도섬 자체뿐만이 아니라 부속섬들의 면적을 다 포함하기 때문입니다. 거제시도 마찬가지입니다^^
Hi Emily ❤ The countryside in Korea looks very peaceful. But I was worried when you were breaking the thorny branch. As I thought, you get thorn injury. Does it hurt a lot? Some thorns are poisonous. Watch out! Did you went alone? I didn't saw your boyfriend. Why he didn't followed with you? I'm worried about you. I also see dogs on the way you are going. Be careful. I wish you always be happy, healthy and safe.💕💞💓
Hi Yan!! Thank you for being so concerned about me 😊 ~~ I really appreciate it ❤️ Yeah, the thorn made me bleed a little bit, but thankfully it didn't hurt too badly, and it stopped bleeding pretty quickly. Thank God it wasn't poisonous! Haha 😅 I DID go alone! It was a solo trip for me. Valentine is in the US right now becoming an American citizen! 🇺🇸 And the dogs were not too aggressive thankfully :) I'll take care, thank you for your wishes! -Emily
I love your simplicity Emily, ever since I saw your first video when you were in Lebanon. This is an amazing island, but weren't you scared hiking all by yourself in the middle of nowhere? 😂 Try to do a few videos about your hometown one day, I think it was somewhere in Wisconsin if I recall well. Would be interesting, I'm curious to see where you come from 🙂 Hugs from Lebanon....
It's really cool that you've stuck with me after so much time and so many different places, GJ! :D Simplicity in what sense? I'm curious (in a good way!) As for whether I was scared hiking alone in the middle of nowhere... You know, not really! My airbnb host assured me that people on the island kept to themselves, and that the island was safe overall. But watching this video now, I also feel like I should have been scared haha. I'm going to be home in a few weeks, so might be something I film this time! ;) Hugs back to Lebanon 🇱🇧 from thousands of miles away! 🇰🇷
About the snakes, i had this thing in the area i like to hike in, all the people said there are snakes there and poisonous ones like Corn Vipers but i really havent seen one snake and especially not on the road and i have searched the area a lot. Others have seen them but more like in the gardens. Makes sense because in the gardens there can be more food also for the snakes (house rats...) Generally in the forests i havent seen a lot of animals and they usually hide or are shy of humans. Animals that come in the village, they are different. I guess it depends on the area and the season you go to hike (in the spring here its mating season so more snakes) but generally animals gravitate where there is a lot of food. I dont think snakes like to stay on roads (even if covered by leaves), maybe im wrong but ive tested this and definitely i havent seen snakes on the road anywhere. I have seen snakes in the garden or water snakes, although not poisonous. Still you can never be to carefull. I think some snakes like to hide under a rock. It depends on the area you are in of course. And i see you have found a red Rusula mushroom, same as here in my area, they are edible (i think its a red Rusula, they look similar) And yes dont take anything with spikes from the forest, not worth it. Here there are many plants with spikes including blueberries (large ones), its a pain in the ass, better find another stick
Good to know about the snakes. I wasn't sure how common they were here, and neither did my host, so it seems he prepared me for the worst haha, but yeah always good to be extra cautious just in case. Next time I see one of those mushrooms, I'll definitely pick it! 🍄 (And consult a local to double check) Out of curiosity, which area of Korea are you in?
@@20CamelsEmily Strangely, i am not in Korea:) but i recognised kinda the same vegetation, mushrooms, the snake risk, rural life, lack of english from the area i go to hike in Europe which is almost as isolated with literally no one on the trail. Also the same lack of knowledge from the villagers to tell you for sure how common snake are in a specific area. It also seems snakes are common near some rivers in some parts (although i havent seen them personally) but ive seen others say it. And yeah in "snake land" its actually good to make noise, not to walk in silent to not "disturb the forest". Its better i think to make noise because usually animals are afraid if they just "bump into you" and noise gives them time to run away. About snakes, its good to find out when is their mating season, usually snakes are shy creatures that will hide from humans or just sit on a rock and your equipment is good, boots and long pants, long bluse i see too many people going out in nature unequiped and they risk bites. Even if a snake can bite you even with clothes, there is a high chance to inject less poison which is always better. And yeah for snakes its not good to consume their venom (its painfull) so they will only do it for survival. I think in general snakes are misunderstood and other animals can be more of a pest. But yeah, if someone makes the mistake of pulling out a snake they can get bitten and young snakes are just as venemous as adults (if there is a venomous snake), or if you dont see the snake and get too close...
You look like a fantasy character in the medieval period game when you walk around the mountain, especially washing your hair on the stream. I've watched your video some of that, and it seems ordinary but unique at the same time. For me, this is the perfect video for learning English. Your voice, tone, and everything is a masterpiece, you know. Sometimes, it's a little regrettable when Koreans don't say hello and give good information because of the language block. But it's lovely you have the power to do it on your own. Keep up the good work. Koreans must love you.
13:39 it is not the traditional way, the grave usually looks like a little round hill, and if it is family gravesite, it need almost like a small mountain. However, nowadays, people cremate and make that way in the video, so they don’t have to care as much ( cutting grass of the grave and so on) since most of the descendants are in the city and don’t have time to care.
You are so beautiful. More beautiful than the place you are in. I follow your channel just to watch you explore places. I would like to invite you to explore sparsely populated places in India like Ladakh.

Be careful visiting Jeollado, especially those rural areas. They are not super welcome to people outside of the island, even to Koreans from other parts. They have slavery system on the salt ponds, and you might be kidnapped to work there 😬😬 No one can find you or help you on those remote islands if you become missing.
