If you are living in Seoul or planning on visiting, you must visit Battery Park located near Myeong Dong station. (From exit 4, walk straight a few minutes, and you'll see the State Building. Take the escalator down and you'll see it across the Starbucks.) Little did I realize that my cousin, who is a few … Continue reading battery park restaurant review {seoul}

I’ve Got Seoul…
Of course I couldn't end my summer without a quick stop over in Seoul. I made sure to do all the things I desperately missed like eating Korean bbq, hanging out in cute cafes, getting my nails done, watching soccer games and taking photos with Melody. On my birthday, we ate lunch at The Tasting … Continue reading I’ve Got Seoul…

A real French restaurant in Seoul? Not quite. Les Deux Plats is a new restaurant with French & Italian food on it's menu. It's found off the main street in Itaewon.

On our way to finding Bukchon village for our photography shoot, Melody and I got a bit lost. It was the first time we were going to Bukchon village and a friend of mine had given me some vague directions that morning.

Seoul Style {Bukchon Village Part 1}
Melody and I embarked on our photo shoot in Bukchon Hanok Village which is easily accessible from Anguk station. I foolishly wore boots with heels thinking that it would look better in photos, but didn't think about all the walking I would have to do while taking and being in photos, and trekking the icy hills of … Continue reading Seoul Style {Bukchon Village Part 1}
