Life in Korea 🍵 Green Tea Fields and Bamboo Forests | Boseong and Damyang VLOG

Hi everyone! I finally made it down to a few spots that I've wanted to visit for as long as I have known about them! Come along with me to Boseong to visit the world-famous green tea fields at Daehan Dawon and then we're off to Damyang to visit the Bamboo forest! These are all possible day trips from Seoul but I chose to have more time there by staying in Gwangju! It cut the travel time in half :) If you haven't seen my Gwangju vlog yet, I highly recommend it and maybe you can stop there as well!

[@laurenmiller149]

Cari: it honestly smells like Arizona to me.. it's dry, it's piney, the air is really clear... Me, watching from Arizona: *cries over the lack of trees*

[@caricakes]

Hahaha I should have specified Flagstaff

[@rysa.tarts07]

Lol that was me too. Thinking about 110° weather 🤣🤣🤣

[@yalonelybean1725]

Same 😭 when she said i was so confused but then remembered northern Arizona has trees 😂😂

[@BolinasFrank]

When this was said, it brought back memories of hiking in the pine forest in the Catalinas above Tucson.

[@user-vp7ty3eb2b]

I didn't know if Arizona had anything to do with pine trees. Pine trees are very common in South Korea. In fact, the pine tree is a symbol of our tradition and culture. The interesting thing I know is that the Korean pine tree is the most expensive Christmas decoration tree in North America or Europe.🐻

[@tayettzdonna1548]

omg. this video brings back memories. I went there 2 years ago, travelled solo. took an overnight plane, landed incheon almost midnight. took the night bus to Express bus terminal.and waited for the 1st bus to Gwangju. Stored my big backpack in Gwangju bus terminal locker (thank you Good Heavens for that) then headed straight to Boseong. The place is really beautiful. The big trees @ the entrance, i think stayed there for half an hour, taking picture, admiring the tall trees and taking in all the calmness that it gives. And i hiked as well, with those stairs. I am happy you get to see the sea up there. i wish you were able to find the Bamboo forest there. ithink it was on the left side, after those big tall trees. there is a small trail going there. a lot miss that trail. i wish i could go back to korea soon. this is the time of the year that I should be in Korea. Covid please go away. ps. can you introduce me.to.your.friend. I am crazy about walking too. hahaha

[@caricakes]

Oh my goodness what a gorgeous memory!! And my friend will be in a video soon hehehhe

[@alyssarosengard6674]

Can’t wait to see Jeju again through ur eyes. The green tea fields are so beautiful! Thanks for taking me there. I have been studying Korean cooking. I made Pajeon this week. My hubby, who isn’t too keen on Korean cooking, loved it so much. When you say you feel like you are always eating bimambop, I feel like I am always making tteokbokki. We are our second wave of the “rona”. So we are pretty locked down now. Loved taking a walk with you.

[@caricakes]

Cant wait to edit the vlog 🥰 and thank youuuu!
