Muhanksan is situated in Incheon and is easily accessed by subway. It is a relatively easy hike, with the summit only standing at 217m (712 feet). The easiest way to access the mountain is to take the subway (Incheon line 1) to Seonhak station and take exit 3 out onto the street. When you hit …

Summer is fast approaching here in Korea, and that means little to no hiking for me because frankly, I enjoy not having heatstroke. Before it got unbearable, I decided to take a trip to Bukhansan to kick off my attempt at BlackYak’s 명산 100 challenge (spoiler: I didn’t make it to the peak. You’ll find …

One of my favorite things to do wherever I travel to is visit an aquarium, so it was one of the first things on my 'Busan to do' list. It's just so calming so be surrounded by tonnes of water and fish for me! After heding back to Haeundae Beach from Dongbaekseom Island, we hit …
After finishing up at the temple, we headed towards Haeundae beach, one of the most popular beaches across the peninsula. During the summer, people flock to Haeundae to enjoy its turquoise water and clean sand, however, it is much quieter during the winter. Despite being only 6 degrees C, there were still many people about …
For me, Christmas cannot be Christmas without some twinkling lights - whether they be on a tree, hanging from your banister or wrapped around your cat when it destroys the tree for the 40th time this week. I don't have a lot of decorations at home because of that last reason, but luckily for me …
