Seoul Travel Diary: winter vlog part 1 | things to do, hidden gems, stationery shopping

hello~ I went on a trip mid Dec 2022 till start of Jan 2023 to South Korea and decided to vlog my experience. please excuse the shaky footage as it was my first time filming outside and i have no clue how to film them (;´Д｀) but i tried to edit it such that it is relaxing and not dizzy to watch (；´∀｀) really hope you enjoy this type of videos~ i am planning to do more vlog style, relaxing type of videos this new year! if you have any suggestions or video ideas, do leave them down in the comments and i will try to film them ^^
here's a brief summary for each day of our trip
day 1:
we landed at Incheon international airport, took an express train to Seoul (which I booked via Klook) and checked into our airbnb near Konkuk University station. We had dinner and walked around the area - there were so many restaurants, bar, photo booths and cute shops! I really enjoyed staying in that area~
day 2:
we travelled to Seoul forest station for brunch, had a stroll at the Seoul forest park (so pretty there!!) and walked around to look at various prop shops/ stationery shops, and cafes! Then we took the subway to Gangnam for one last prop shop before having dinner in that area.
day 3:
shopping day! we went to Myeongdong to get skincare and shoes~ I didn't film much that day but we had lunch and dinner at popular restaurants in Myeongdong before getting their street food ^^
day 4:
day trip to nami island and italian village. we woke up bright and early to catch the subway to nami ferry terminal near gapyeong station (we had to take a short taxi ride there from the station as the tourist bus had lesser time schedules now). We booked our ferry ride from klook as it was fast and easy. Spent ~3 hours at the island exploring and eating before taking the bus (from the bus stop right in front of GS25) to italian village (the bus ride was ~7,000 won each with unlimited rides). We only had about 2 hours at italian village before taking the last bus to cheongpyeong station. After that we had korean spicy rice cake - super delicious.
day 5:
hongdae date ^^ walked around the hongik university area for stationery shops and cafe. we also walked to hapjeong before going to digital media city station area for dinner!
