After years of dreaming about visiting the country, travel vlogger Anjali Sood finally spent 30 days exploring South Korea on her own. In her May 5 Instagram post, she shared glimpses from the trip and reflected on an experience she described as nothing short of magical.

“Believe me when I say it felt like living in a dream. Her itinerary combined sightseeing with spontaneous experiences, allowing her to experience Seoul at a slower pace. The city’s cafés, streets, food culture and entertainment became some of the highlights of her solo journey.
I fully immersed myself in the culture: indulged in Korean food every day (ramen for 10 days straight!), wandered through the streets for hours, sang at karaoke bars, visited photo booths, met amazing people, fell in love with cozy cafes and even watched Coldplay,” she said.
Anjali said she wanted to experience South Korea beyond the typical tourist attractions and fully immerse herself in the local culture.
