We were determined to finish the trail we began yesterday – at the very end we had passed a trail leading down onto the rocks with pools and wanted to check it out! So we decided to reverse the bus trip and pick up where we left off. Our excursion the day before didn’t result in food but we did pass an McD on the … Continue reading More of The Olle Trail
After the adventure that was our trip to Jeju, we were really excited about this trip to the lovely island home of the famous Jeju oranges! We crashed the first night, and it was much too dark to see anything when we arrived. But our first morning, we woke up pretty early. 🌼🌷🌴 A window had been left open, so we were frozen to the … Continue reading First Day in Jeju on the Olle Trail

When the university warned us all returning faculty to China would have to undergo 14 days of isolation with out the chance to go get food (‘vegetables will be provided’) — our ‘vacation’ in Korea was promptly extended 😂
We already posted our less than lovely abode in Myeongdong at the Merlin Hotel, so pretty clear we wanted to find a new, slightly MORE lovely abode if we were gonna be staying another month. Not living with permanent back pain from torture was our ambitious, but hopeful quest. 😎
While looking for our next erm. . . economy? 🤔 dirt cheap? . . . destination, we stopped by the G2 Hotel Myeongdong for a night out. We were filtering results by ‘bed review’ and these popped up:
‘The bed was great’ . . . We were hooked! 😍🥰🥳
What We Were Looking For: Good Value for the Money, Short Stay, Nice Bed! We really wanted something in the area with a decent bed, good breakfast, and potential laundry options.

Talk a walk down the Olle Trail of Jeju Island and you come across Oedolgae Rock (외돌개). We set off on our first day towards the Seogwipo Port and Oedolgae was one of the sites we stumbled on. Erosion has slowly left this rock standing as an island alone – probably why its name means ‘Solitary Rock’ or ‘Lonely Rock’. 😭 Kinda sad to think … Continue reading Oedolgae Rock (Jeju)
Street Art in Pyoseon, Jeju alongside the main street leading to Pyoseon Beach. Liv loves the colors in the waves – these gem tones are always eye-catching! I’ve never seen waves you could actually ride before – hoping to see them before we leave! Continue reading Rising with the Waves of Jeju
We recently moved to a new location, and went in pursuit of coffee and necessities shopping this morning. Ended up in a small town Pyoseon (표선) about 45 minutes away by bus. Stumbled on this neat little second-story coffee shop by the folk village stop. Directions ⛱️ You can take several buses from Jeju International Airport (I recommend using KakaoMap in English). Bus 121 is … Continue reading Kkatte Coffee – Jeju Island
Life as a Corona Virus Nomad With both the US listing China 🐼 on threat level ‘don’t go‘ and our employer recommending ‘stay away until further notice‘ . . . the message seemed pretty clear even for those of us who sometimes miss the signs. 🧐 So once our Dongdaemun hotel (review coming!) reservation was expiring, we turned our eagle eyes to something much. . … Continue reading Destination: Jeju Island!
Jeju Island is an ocean paradise – and a tourist paradise for those wanting to travel Visa free. Americans are blessed – our passport gets us into many countries visa – free. Usually for periods of 30 – 90 days at least as long as you have a ticket out of the country to show. Other nationalities are not always so fortunate, and even the … Continue reading Jeju Island Suspends Visa-Free Entry
Sea Slug – it’s what’s for dinner. 😋 OK, Not sure what creature this is 🤔 but they had lots of them at the Jeju E-mart! Anyone know the name of this little guy? Continue reading Sea Slug
