I'm a frugal adventurous traveller thus going on travel with me means taking public transportation, a lot of exploration by foot and constant interaction with local residence. This I would warn my co-travellers before going on a trip, besides group tours doesn't give you the full travel experience.

The transportation system in Korea is easy, convenient and most of all cheap. But you must plan your route carefully as you should consider travel timing and distance between sites to visit. However, language could be barrier as few Koreans could speak English. A basic Hangeul lessons and body language would be helpful. Although you might not probably remember your Hangeul lessons, you can try to interpret what they are saying...hehe :p You can visit Talk To Me In Korean for some lessons, it really helped me a lot :) Also, write down the places in Korean in case you might need help with directions. Koreans are very friendly and helpful people, they will go to the extent of bringing you to the place you are looking for.


Here is our itinerary for 7 Days 7 Nights Korea trip from Oct 26 - Nov3. We took Cebu Pacific flight to/from Cebu-Incheon and Jeju Air to/from Gimpo-Jeju. Visit the links to check out the details for each day. :) I am open to hear if you have better itineraries for my next Korea trip :)

True Love is something everyone yearns for... but is there such a thing? 

Last week I was faced with the question, “What is true love?” 

True love is the most beautiful thing that can happen to us, because true love is one shared feeling. It isn’t falling in love with someone. If this person shares your feelings, that still is not true love either. But you’re right this is the first step to that amazing feeling. The true love is something more than falling in love. 

True love is trust. Without trust every relationship is fated to end and can’t survive a long time. When you have trust in your partner you are anxiety-free. Both must learn to trust each other, else it would just lead to problems (i.e jealousy) and probably end up breaking up. But of course it takes two to tango...

True love is a friendship. You must not only be a lover to your partner, you must be his friend. Your partner must be the man whom you can rely for advice and who you trust your secrets with, because he wouldn't betray you. It feels good when you can talk about everything with the person who you are in love with. Communication is the most important thing for true love. Because when partners talk, they come up with solution to every problem they have. When the love is true, they can survive everything - every problem is a test for the feelings and strength of one relationship. One big reason of couples breaking up is because they can’t or don’t want to talk. One love is true when the couples are frank and honest. 

True love is help. When you really love someone you are ready to help him right away and to do everything for him. It is making your partner feel cared and loved. True love eliminates pride and egoism, because now you are not alone. When you love someone you want to make him happy. The true love means support too. The feeling when you know that by you stands someone who loves you and every time will support you, is really great. 

When you became more familiar with your partner, you will find his entire blemish, but you must not aspire to remove them. If your partner’s love to you is real he will make everything possible to remove them himself. When couples are able to compromise and make their character fit, this means they love each other. To find the true love means to find a perfect match for you and your half. People say that everyone has a half somewhere out there, but both must work out to make it happen. Usually partners with the same perception in life can be together for a very long time. It is spending time together in loving each other; it is about surviving all of the obstacles they meet during their life together. Furthermore true love is a harmonious relationship thus eventually makes you a better person.

It is sweet if couples are able to keep their love the same as it was in the beginning throughout the years. It is sweeter if they are able make it stronger, like wine tastes better when it aged. Remember there is no perfect person, but true love is about finding the perfect relationship. It is hard to find but in the end it will be worth it. 

So never stop searching for the one true love, because there is no set date that you will find it and remember it comes when you least expect it ;)

Penguins are monogamous animals :). They mate for life. Thus, she's saying that this person's significant other is a soul mate/true love, or someone that they'll be with forever.
