taking myself on a solo date vlog 🍜 eating alone in korea, incheon chinatown, winter nights, cafes

Hi everyone! We're on another solo Incheon adventure today :) You already know that Incheon's cafe scene is amazing so of course we stop by a few but I also got to finally try vegan jjajangmyeon AND visit two absolutely magical parks. Even though it was a cold and rainy day/night I had a really great time and hope you did too! thanks always~

Long-time follower but first time commenting here! Just wanted to say thank you for all the hardwork that goes on to all of your videos. I would've deadass given up the moment I saw all those stairs.
