My weekend was awesome! I ended up on an island get away with good friends. The island happens to be Korea’s “honeymoon” island for young newlyweds- Jeju island. Being that I used to live in Bermuda, this gift/trip was very special to me. It reminded me of home! There were brightly covered houses, lots of tourists attractions, and beautiful beaches. My friends and I rented scooters, got a room in a cozy bed and breakfast on the island coast, and then we went exploring.

The first beach we visited- Horseshoe? (Sorry, the sign was in Korean).

As you can see, it was simply gorgeous, and this wasn’t even the prettiest day!

We ate dinner on this pier, prior to doing some more exploring

A beach side sunset concluded the first day on Jeju.

Although, I didn’t post close to the amount of pictures I took, you can see that the island was amazing. I would recommend a visit for anyone staying in Korea for an extended amount of time. It has its own airline, the tickets aren’t that expensive, and it’s a great get away. You can get full body massages for about $15 a person on this island (I should know, I enjoyed 2 of them lol).

Korean word for today: yok kwon (yukwon) = Passport. You’ll need your passport to travel in and out of Jeju so don’t forget it!
