🍁 the last few days of fall in korea// ferry rides, catching leaves, & hotteok

Hi, friends! As I mention in the video, I spent some time not filming, so in this video we'll be catching the tail end of the fall season here in Korea at Nami Island!
Nami Island is a popular fall season attraction in Korea for both tourists and Koreans because of the beautifully-colored trees. It was also featured in the drama "Winter Sonata" several decades ago haha so I think that adds to the hype for a lot of people too~
To get to Nami Island, you can take the ITX, train, or regular Seoul subway to Gapyeong Station and then take a bus or taxi to the Nami Island ferry.
Address of Gapyeong Station:
가평역 경춘선
경기도 가평군 가평읍 문화로 13-42

Address of the Ferry:
남이섬종합휴양지선착장

Your hair is SO gorgeous!

[@NataliaGarza]

Thank you!!! It was a dark shade of purple, but it ended up looking kind of burgundy haha It's blonde now, but I'm dying it again this week haha

[@Madeline877]

I keep in track of your vlogs, i absoloutely enjoy them all! You motivate me and show me Korea, where i hope i might visit one day

[@NataliaGarza]

Thank you for watching them~ Hopefully you can~!

[@Isaly15xoxo]

Idk if you’ll ever actually see this, but it’s really encouraging to see another Latina learning languages (especially a non romance language), I don’t have a desire to learn Korean, but your passion and energy makes your videos so much fun to watch, while getting to learn about another culture, and encourages me with my own language learning journey. Thanks ✨💕

[@NataliaGarza]

Awww I'm glad I can offer some level of encouragement~ haha I'm also happy to be able to introduce you to Korea a bit haha What language are you learning?

[@Isaly15xoxo]

@@NataliaGarza 💕 😂 Lol I’m learning Italian and Spanish, but in the future I’d like to try Japanese and/or Arabic 🙈

[@annabelle_620]

Your vlogs are always nice to watch in between my Korean study sessions! ❤️😂

I'm so glad! haha Hopefully the random Korean throughout the vlog acts as a little review for you! haha

[@Krissy-rz4wy]

@@NataliaGarza im working on it!! Doing my best with Korean language studies atm- self study, italki lessons, and working in a small local Korean restaurant actually! My college doesn’t offer Korean as a foreign language opportunity or travel abroad there. Your videos are always motivating! Still haven’t found the best opportunity to get there but trying! Really want to go through a language based program if i can.
