Hey there my name is Poppy and I make travel content about people and cultures from around the world, not just the “touristy” side of travel. Because I believe TRAVEL IS NOT about the places you visit, IT’S ABOUT THE PEOPLE you meet along the way. Join me on my journey if you agree!

Korea is literally my favorite country in the world. Out of all the countries I have been to it literally has something for everyone and has so many diverse experiences.

[@mohammadalramahe7543]

This is my dream to visit South Korea...Thank you for this video

[@WheresPoppy]

Do it! Totally worth it!

[@jayd5305]

You'll be warmly welcomed by Koreans... Welcome! ^^

[@Hey-nq4ci]

When I lived in Korea, there was an airplane cafe in my neighborhood. They put an old airplane near the river bank, and remodeled it as a cafe. So we could enjoy coffee and airplane-ride experience. It was 25 years ago, and I heard a lot of cafes in Korea these days are really fancy and crazy.

[@BlondieinChina]

Awesome vid!!!! Makes me want to go back to South Korea!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Amy! Yeah me too haha

[@vrealzhou]

Where's Poppy Wow! You guys know each other. You should make an episode together!

[@mrfilix5045]

Blondie in China amy/艾米饭很喜欢你的招牌笑容😊，期待你的新影片。

[@wait6650]

Where is Jordan?

[@samuelwyner6935]

I have very fond memories of Seoul! This definitely makes me want to go explore the rest of the country!

[@WheresPoppy]

Do it!!

[@canadabear72]

Boryeong is a very nice place to visit! I've been here for 20 years and I can tell you that there are so many beautiful places all over the country to see. Glad you had a good time!

[@kenyup5424]

I like the kind of karaoke moments when you’re singing ‘hotel California ‘,it was so much fun

[@WheresPoppy]

It was a lot of fun haha

[@mikeriley6073]

Poppy’s fun and smiling face is an uplift for everybody!

[@WheresPoppy]

Haha thanks!

[@천지만상]

[@lizlizzy2755]

I really liked the way you introduced us South Korea. Thank you.

[@stevegrooms1142]

It looks like this is a fun time to be a South Korean, a time when everyone can take pride in how the country is doing.

[@이불킥-v7r]

And yet everyone is angry. Angry about high unemployment rates, angry about wage hikes, angry about cooperation with North Korea, angry about fucking everything. And they blame the government for everything.

[@Adrianamountainview]

Thank you Poppy for sharing your travels. Very beautiful country!!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks for watching :)

[@user-gb8nt9ew5jaykay]

파피 knows how to make a good video

[@jpaek969]

I freaking love your travel videos. Yours are unlike any others I've ever seen. Well done!

[@WheresPoppy]

Haha thank you :)

[@nolifuncion]

looks fun to be in South Korea! Hope to visit there someday. Thanks for the video.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks for watching :)

[@Kai0210__]

I’m going to Korea on December as my first solo trip. Very excited, and this video is super helpful too..

[@shanmunson4088]

Keep yourself warm.

[@m1051inc]

I love Korea, I'll be there May 2020!

[@WheresPoppy]

Nice!

[@LiamLewisofficial]

I thinking one more year In China, then off to south Korea! It's always been my dream to visit or live there!

[@cooliipie]

Not to sound negative but Korea was pretty bring when I visited after China. Expect no culture and extremely westernized and commercialized. I mean don't get me wrong it was nice. But it didn't feel like Asia

[@WheresPoppy]

Do it! It’s quite different from China

[@LiamLewisofficial]

@@WheresPoppy that's the palm, I better get saving....I heard its much more pricey compared to china!

[@ashburnian]

@@cooliipie That's your Orientalism telling you that an Asian country has to be a certain way including no social, technological and cultural evolution. I mean you do really think an Asian country should stay naive, undeveloped, rural and unsophisticated to meet some Western guy's expectation?

[@cooliipie]

@@ashburnian Western ≠ Civilized. Wow, you're incredibly racist and bigoted.. Eastern nations have their own set of cultural nuances. Fact is, many of this in Korea was destroyed because westernization and commercialization. It's people like you who make culture disappear having one set of expectations on what civilized is. A nation can be the leader of all areas and still be vastly different from another "advanced and evolved" culture...

[@sandhyabawale268]

South Korea is very beautiful and clean country . It has culture we were there for 4 years.jeju is the best island in Korea. I recommend everyone to visit this beautiful country.Koreans are friendly and kind.

[@biokd3884]

What an intriguing place. My friend who's from here has told me quite a few interesting stories about it and it's FOR SURE one of the places on my list that I need to visit before I hit the dirt!✈️

[@WorldReserveCurrency]

That’s gotta be the most beautiful cafe I’ve ever seen.

[@WheresPoppy]

Seriously though

[@somethingelse25]

That's so friggin cool! I wanna check out South Korea. I was there as a toddler but I don't remember it but I remember Thailand but only a certain dream. A British nurse would give me Pepsi in a bottle for my colicky tummy. This is so awesome! Does your camera shoot in 4K? I can't tell as I watch this on my Samsung phone and it's 1440p or something max. That's not even 2K. Great colors though. Wow! You're right South Korea is so colorful! You make great videos as usual!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Joseph! No I don’t shoot in 4K, takes too much space on hard drives

[@somethingelse25]

@@WheresPoppy oh yeah, I can imagine. My Samsung has 128 gigabytes storage and one day I'll get a 512 gigabyte memory card, I have a 64 gigabyte one now, and it does 4K at 60FPS and yes, it fills the memory kinda fast but I use a new format rather than MPG, I forget the name, but it takes less space. I have the new Samsung S10. It has Adobe Rush built in. I'm gonna try shooting more footage in 4K but just letting you know that's one way. The phone is ridiculously powerful I've edited video and it renders fairly fast. It does have 8 cores in the CPU. The Adobe Rush membership is 10a month after 3 free exports but yeah, that's so worth it. If I was rich I'd donate one to you! I'd get the S10+ since it has a bigger battery. I have the regular S10. Your videos are so cool though! They're fine but I've seen 4K vídeo on a smart TV. Simply amazing!

[@johnpagoto1054]

Loved the back in time effect ❤

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks :)

[@WhyYouTrippin]

Beautiful video... Now I want to visit South Korea!

[@WheresPoppy]

Do it!

[@caramelunicorn8023]

[@mus2643]

Thanks Nick!

[@codyshi4743]

[@rendog896]

Beautiful .. wish you a good stay in Korea

[@WheresPoppy]

[@blenderjang6085]

The performance you saw on the street has a story of begging. "This guy who came last year isn't dead and comes again" It's a satirical, humorous dance. wish to visit here again~

[@duenorth40]

Ugh! Thanks Poppy, another country we have to go visit now.... Great video as always! 👍

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Lee :)

[@rucyjw]

Poppy~ I enjoyed your videos. The quality of your works is sooo good. wow.. during your short stay you've experienced a lot in Korea. good itinerary. Although I'm a Korean, I haven't been to Boryeong and the set of Mr.sunshine yet. I was a big fan of the drama, so I really want to go there. awww I miss the days when there was no Covid.... The set is still open, but there will be few performances or offline festivals.😅 Stay health!

[@pavanandagiganapati8179]

I have been to Korea twice. Country and people arr really awesome.

[@rogerflux2654]

Wow that looks beautiful 😃 and the golf ⛳️ course looks pretty good too, and bless you too 😃😃😃👍👍👍

[@cavavision5547]

Hi there Poppy. Thankyou for all the information about visiting South Korea. I will like to know if you agree that if somebody's planning to travel to Asia, Japan and or China should be in their list before visiting Korea. Have you been to Japan already? Keep on the fine work.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you! I haven’t been to Japan but I definitely would recommend both China and South Korea

[@cavavision5547]

Thank you. So, visiting Japan should definitely be your next goal. Forza!

But that traditional dress looks fantastic on you.😊

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks!

[@afunguynamedkawhi7959]

Went to Korea twice. Seoul is beautiful and Incheon Airport is one of the best in the world. But my deepest impression is that Korean Chinese seems identify themselves as Chinese rather than Koreans. They talked in Chinese loudly in public LOL. Many times when I asked for directions in Chinese they helped me like a family.😍😍

[@junjiawang6882]

actually, the Chaoxian [Korean] nationality is one of 55 minorities in China

[@Hey-nq4ci]

Junjia Wang I think you are talking about China, not Korea, and it can be confusing to viewers. There are Korean Chinese who immigrated to China during the colonial period. Koreans live in Korea are not related to China. Some French people moved to Canada, so there are French Canadian, but French people who live in France don’t have anything to do with Canada.

[@Hey-nq4ci]

I think you met recent Chinese immigrants, and they talk and act like Chinese of course because they just immigrated. Chinese Koreans are called Hwa-gyo, and they speak Korean in public and have Korean manners since they moved to Korea long time ago, from the end of 19th century to mid 20th century.

[@afunguynamedkawhi7959]

@@Hey-nq4ci I was talking Korean Chinese, Chinese citizens but ethnically Korean. In the past there was a prejudice that Chinese Koreans think they Koreans first, Chinese second. My encounter with some of them told me that they are Chinese just like myself. The "Chinese Koreans" most likely are not Koreans because it's difficult to get a citizenship for them. Most of them have ROC passports.

[@Hey-nq4ci]

A Fun Guy Named Kawhi oh you mean Chosun-jok? So you met Korean Chinese who are staying in Korea now? I think it’s not surprising that they think themselves as Chinese. They are mostly the second or third generation of the immigrants, so they grow up in China. Usually the first generation immigrants identity themselves with their old county, but their children don’t. I immigrated to America but I consider myself as Korean. But my kids think they are Americans. most people from other countries are the same way. I think Chinese tend to hold onto their national identity more strongly. Like the way Hwa-go did. I heard it’s easy for Hwa-go to earn Korean citizenship but a lot of them chose to keep the Chinese citizenship . (I am sure of this info, so what you say is perplexing to me). I heard there were a lot of unfair treatment to them though. Well, for immigrants and minorities, identity can be tricky. I hope they get treated well by both countries and also contribute a lot to both countries.

[@johnlee5557]

Is good to visit all the Asia countries so you can learn about their culture, how they live, eat and have fun.

[@WheresPoppy]

Exactly :)

[@htlow3598]

Whilst that is true, it applies to all cultures... North, South, East & West. I learned the hard way (in the 60s) but now I consider myself an Internationalist esp. I am now in my 70s.

[@eddieh1530]

[@joeyguillen2081]

Koreans have this odd belief specifically during marriage that dressing in traditional clothing brings good luck. There are other special days that some wear the clothing as well but it is rare. Although most of the people shown on the video in traditional clothing were performers. Nice video again.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you!

[@Hey-nq4ci]

I’m korean, and I’ve never heard of such belief. They may wear traditional clothing as part of wedding ceremony. It doesn’t have anything to do with good luck. I’m sorry someone didn’t explain the culture correctly. These days Koreans rent and wear Korean dress at tourist areas just for fun, like how Poppy did.

[@Box073]

Hey Poppy. You look very cute in "Han-Bok" (traditional Korean costume). Just need to tie your hair into a bun if you wear the dress 😉😁. Love your vids.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you!

[@건9]

Haha😁 nice video 👍

[@MrDikim]

논산까지 가셨구나 You are so cooooòol♡

[@ray295]

LOL, I think you got to tie your hair in a bun when you were dressed in traditional Korean clothing. That would make you more authentic.

[@amuthanshan]

"Currently Hannah" did a tongue and cheek video exploring how vloggers often portray every part of their travel experiences in an ultra positive way and sometimes it feels like watching a commercial rather something authentic, but who cares when patreons are happy to pay for that content, one could argue. That's not you, when things go really disastrously wrong on your trips, you have been honest about what happened in dedicated one-off videos and its in those moments that vloggers can connect on a real, human level with their audience. In case you haven't seen it, thought you might have a laugh watching it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ-saYd3bb12qpY

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you! I hate that as well that many vloggers tend to just show the “highlights” and it’s so unrealistic. The rough times are what make us grow and I definitely want to share that with my audience. Glad you appreciate that!
