I love my visit in Korea. We got lost in a subway station and a dude offered to help us understand each train station. He even guided us on our way out of the station because the exits are quite tricky.
Haha, what an intro! 😆 It was so much fun getting to share a little bit about a country we love so much, and we hope we inspired a few people to come and visit South Korea. 🇰🇷✈️ Thanks again for having us on your channel, Nadine!
this video was terrific. you guests were great in their tips and pointers the fact that they had both lived and worked in the country really makes their advise rock solid. the tip about tipping and using 2 hands, exactly what somebody who has never been to the country needs to know! i am really loving these videos about what to know before you go!
I just came home from Seoul actually. The most interesting tour I’ve done in a while was a day trip to DMZ the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. I learned a lot from a very talented guide in VIP Travel, and got pretty close to North Korea, which was unique. I recommend such a trip to everybody who visit Seoul. I also stayed in Myeongdong, which was really cool. It’s easy to get around both by walking and metro and the streets are full of life and awesome street food from 2pm every day.
I went to Korea about 3 years ago, I realy want to go back as it was such an amazing country. Some of the things we went to see where Soul tower, mjong dong, the castle and lotte land, the thing that left it's impression the most was visiting the border between North and South Korea. Quite the surreal exsperince but one I can highly recommend. Another thing that I was glad I did was learn how to say hello and thank you in Korean, since this allowed me to communicate with the per people too, even thou the rest of my questions where in English, the fact that you try to approach them in their language is highly appreciated.
That is great to hear and the things you recommended are all really good suggestions. I agree with you about any efforts to speak Korean are greatly appreciated by locals.
My uncle went on a government sponsored hike in the early 1950's all the way up to the Chosin Reservoir (North Korea) and back. He said that it was a beautiful country, except for the parts that were blown up, and he was very happy that the Korean people had recovered their nation so well. My brother went on a vacation in Korea years ago, and he really enjoyed it.
loved korea but OMG was language such a huge barrier. Soeul was doable but outside it felt like people had never even heard english. got by but only becuase the people were so kind and understanding but i did feel a bit bad for not knowing more. go to the War Museum, it is amazing and world class.
Love this! This is just what I needed to watch! I'm going to South Korea for the first time ever in Spring 2024 and this video is very informative so I know what I need to do to prepare and what to do for fun and to eat and get around once I'm there! Already got. passport which wasn't mentioned. Technically I signed up for it. I get it in about 7-10 weeks from now. That's all I have done to prepare for it so far. My next step is to get a travel agent. This video is good incase she doesn't know everything I need to do One thing I wish was discussed though was housing. Where you would stay at and how you book it especially if you're from the US and wanting to book it before going
I have been in Korea twice... it's really fun and a lot of different culture !!! I can't wait to see you there . I'm from Israel , when do you have plans to come Israel? love
They are so accurate about Korea! :) I recommend East Sea area (Dong hae, Gangwon do) for camping! It is my family ritual to go camping to Mangsang beach or Yangyang every summer.
You forgot one super important safety tip for Korea... Korean traffic is occasionally completely terrifying and you should always be on your guard when there are cars, buses and especially delivery scooters around. People drive fast, aggressively, drunk and tired and there's not really the same stigma against doing so as it is in the west. So beware about that... Everything else though I completely agree about.
That is a good point to be more aware as a pedestrian. I especially find that true in older neighborhoods with serpentine narrow roads that lack designated sidewalks.
And what about the travel food poisoning? Like eating foreign food for the first time? Did you experience that? I’m asking bc I’m thinking to visit South Korea but I’m afraid I might get sick while eating their food
When I travel I really enjoy visiting the smaller cities and towns with less tourist culture, places that are more grounded in local culture. Would you say those kind of towns are easy to travel to in Korea? Also great video! I liked the breakdown format.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thank you! This is the kind of information i write down in my travel journal. Itll be quite useful when i go to Korea.
Nadine come to Korea! I hope you come to Korea and enjoy and experience a lot of amazing things💕 and please try to meet up with subscribers in Korea like me lol
I love what you do! It's so fantastic to learn things. I was wondering, though...would it be difficult to spell-check the names of places (and other important information) in the caption? For instance, starting at 6:30 after Sam talks about Seoul, (maybe a little earlier for names of food) and at 8:10 Audrey talks about "sword X on", which is probably not the name...not even close. ;)
Hangul unlike Chinese or Japanese characters is a phonetic writing system so as soon as you learn the consonant and vowel characters you can start sounding out words even if you don't know what they are.
If you want to hear Nadine sing, watch this video on my second channel. It's a collab parody of Eminem ft. Rihanna-Love the Way you Lie. For whatever reason Nadine removed parody songs from her channel. th-cam.com/video/NPMVtyt6IpQ/w-d-xo.html
OK. Most subscribers are not aware of Nadine's early videos before she became a world traveller, and only had a few thousand subscribers. I have been subscribed for over 11 years, and have an archive of my favourite videos from my favourite TH-camrs, including Nadine, and my second channel has a selection of removed videos, and videos from cancelled accounts. TH-cam allows me to upload some videos which may have been removed for copyright reasons, because my account is not monetised, but not always. I got a copyright strike for uploading 2 Poppy videos.
Thanks for the tips! I'm planning a trip for April and I am nervous about it. i've been to Tokyo in Japan and I could get by easily because everything is written in English. Is it the same in Seoul I guess?
Hi i am planning to take my daughter to south Korea for her 18th birthday in two years time and its our first time we live in the UK so any tips or help please let me know
Is there such thing as getting sick while eating their food for the first time? I heard that when you go visit a country and eat their food or drink, you might get sick. Did that happen to you guys when you first visited South Korea?
How is Korea in july? How bad is the rainy season there. I wanna go to Korea this july, but I have no idea what to expect from the monsoon season. Is it really bad or can you still have a nice trip in july?
Don't be afraid to get the ahjussi/ahjuma/workers' attention at the restaurants to order/pay for food by saying/shouting 저기요 (jeo gi yo) too! ;) Else u might be stuck with no one attending to you 🙈 have fun in South Korea if yall head there! :") Miss the country a lot
9:00 Don't walk around drunk Korean men... "common sense". It's this very excusism, victim shaming nonsense that keeps 'boys will be boys' alive 🙄 Really disappointed coming from 2 women, unsubscribed and thumbs down 👎
I love my visit in Korea. We got lost in a subway station and a dude offered to help us understand each train station. He even guided us on our way out of the station because the exits are quite tricky.
so right
How did you deal with eating from there? Did you get sick from eating the food while traveling?
Haha, what an intro! 😆 It was so much fun getting to share a little bit about a country we love so much, and we hope we inspired a few people to come and visit South Korea. 🇰🇷✈️ Thanks again for having us on your channel, Nadine!

i am really loving these videos about what to know before you go!
I used to watch you, two teachers Korea experience videos and I loved them. So glad to see you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, NADINE! I need these tips because I’m planning to go to Korea one day! I’m so excited to explore Korea and it’s culture!

I love how both this and the Japan video involve Nadine enthusiastically nodding.
So nice to see Sam & Audrey again. Loved all your advice - nice to meet Nadine

Korea sounds like a cool place to travel to. I haven’t really considered it up until now.
We'd highly recommend visiting if you get the chance.
OMG, Korea!! Welcome to Korea, everyone :) 많이 놀러오세요!!
고맙습니다
I really like the categories you are using rather than just winging it and hoping you ask all of the questions. Nice job.

That is a good point about English being spoken less outside of Seoul. That is a great museum!
Because we are not English speaking country. Just Korea's language is Korean
AudioVideoDiscoFTW and my dumb ass trying to learn Korean on dulingo lol

watching from Korea! I've lived here 9 months! I love Sam and Audrey as well this was so fun!
Thank you! Where in Korea are you based?
I’m in Korea right now tooo! Do you have any recommendations for things to see in Seoul?
I live in Changwon near Busan! I have 3 more months here then on to Madrid!
I also recommend the bike trails such as Incheon to Busan (The Four Rivers Trail).
Hey Nadine, I'm going to Korea in a month. Thanks for creating this!
Hey are you in Korea?
I love Sam and Audrey! I've been watching their channel for a while. They are just so cute!
Thank you! We so appreciate it :)
I LOVE Sam & Audrey! Yay! I took so many of their recommendations when I went to Korea & so useful 💖

Hey, I'm going to Korea this September. So it's nice that this video came put in time before my trip!
Me too!!
Avigail Z really? Cool!
September is a really good time to visit for weather and scenic autumn colors.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos really? That's good to know, thanks for the reply!
I have been in Korea twice... it's really fun and a lot of different culture !!! I can't wait to see you there . I'm from Israel , when do you have plans to come Israel? love
This is such a useful video! It's made me want to go even more! I have no idea how you had time to film these videos in Antigua! Well done though!
I'm so excited to be there this fall/autumn. Basically on November, 2019. Yassssss! 😍😍😍😘
Ian Iftirasy oh my gawd congrats how was it?
They are so accurate about Korea! :) I recommend East Sea area (Dong hae, Gangwon do) for camping! It is my family ritual to go camping to Mangsang beach or Yangyang every summer.
Thank you! Good suggestions as well.
I was in Korea 2 years ago! You're such a great inspiration for my channel. Keep it up Nadine :)
That is really cool to hear! Where did you visit on your trip?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I started in Busan and then I hitchhiked to Daegu, Seoul & Incheon! So much fun 😃
Reminds me of BT-
You should make a video or a few videos talking about tips and general info about trips to the carribean.
So much helpful information! Thank you :)
I am Korean and looking for a Korean travel guide for studying English lol^^ It's a really fun and informative video
I'd love to visit Korea one day.
Highly recommend it if you get a chance!
lordcoyote2000 same

Love it! Can you do a Brazil for first timers please??
oh my god Nadine! you should go to KOREA!!! would love to see that.
When I travel I really enjoy visiting the smaller cities and towns with less tourist culture, places that are more grounded in local culture. Would you say those kind of towns are easy to travel to in Korea? Also great video! I liked the breakdown format.
There are some good spots in Korea for that. Gyeongju and Andong come to mind.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thank you! This is the kind of information i write down in my travel journal. Itll be quite useful when i go to Korea.
I think both of them came to India.Yes I saw their videos of India were really great .So good to see both of them
Nadine come to Korea! I hope you come to Korea and enjoy and experience a lot of amazing things💕 and please try to meet up with subscribers in Korea like me lol
Have you done one to Japan? I'm leaving in a week and that would be awesome for tips :)
You are getting advice from the best.
Thank you!
Try Tteokbokki! My absolute fave!
Great suggestion! Our favorite kind is the street food version.
Nostalgia! I used to live in Seoul!
That is really cool to hear. Where did you live in Seoul?
me too!
I love what you do! It's so fantastic to learn things.
I was wondering, though...would it be difficult to spell-check the names of places (and other important information) in the caption? For instance, starting at 6:30 after Sam talks about Seoul, (maybe a little earlier for names of food) and at 8:10 Audrey talks about "sword X on", which is probably not the name...not even close. ;)
Busan, daejeon, jeju-do, suwon (places, spelt correctly in caption)
7:15 - Insadong, Namdaemun (street market, spelt correctly i think)
7:25 - hanbok (traditional dress)
7:57 - noraebang (karaoke room)
8:10 - seoraksan (national park)
I think the food is this:
Sundubu-jjigae - spicy tofu dish with fermented cabbage
Dolsot-bibimbap - rice with mixed veg and gochujang sauce
Hotteok donuts
Tteokbokki - rice cakes
Thank you, Nishat!
I went to Korea 2 months ago 😬
That is awesome. Where did you visit?
How was it???
I remember this couple ... from a video in RIO DE JANEIRO CHURASCARIA that I see in yotube
Thank you for inspiration! But I didn't get the point at 04:59 about learning the alphabet... Is it hard and how will it help me? ; w ;
Hangul unlike Chinese or Japanese characters is a phonetic writing system so as soon as you learn the consonant and vowel characters you can start sounding out words even if you don't know what they are.
Nadine you should do a video where you do karokoe i feel like ivs been waiting for it forever
If you want to hear Nadine sing, watch this video on my second channel. It's a collab parody of Eminem ft. Rihanna-Love the Way you Lie. For whatever reason Nadine removed parody songs from her channel.

My home country!!! ❤️

I love your channel! So jealous about all of your travels :)
Thanks for the tips! I'm planning a trip for April and I am nervous about it. i've been to Tokyo in Japan and I could get by easily because everything is written in English. Is it the same in Seoul I guess?

Good video but also vaccinations/shots should be included no?
OMG! I REMEMBER WATCHING THEM TRAVELLING TO NEPAL LOL
Ah, yes we visited in early 2017 for the 1st time and loved it. We'd love to return again soon.
Is it hard to learn Korean?
yes
niceeeee
음 신기하군....ㅋㅋ
명동...의~외로 볼 꺼 없을 수도 있는데...
Go to Itaewon if u want speak English
It's not annnnnyeong haseyo
You're in the wrong Korea. Jump the DMZ border
you should have specified whether it’s North or South Korea 😜 BIG difference
of course they are talking about south😉
busan
seoul
jeju do is all in south
9:00 Don't walk around drunk Korean men... "common sense". It's this very excusism, victim shaming nonsense that keeps 'boys will be boys' alive 🙄 Really disappointed coming from 2 women, unsubscribed and thumbs down 👎
Omg that beginning of them saying hello in korean is bad pronunciation.
Audrey is so hot 😍
A poo cafe.. lol
