Save money on
accommodation by sleeping at jjimjilbags (Korean saunas).

or should be on someone’s bucket list. It only cost you 6 USD small amount for
a worth experience. Taking a hot bath after the big day is very interesting to
do in Korea at first you will feel uncomfortable because you are taking sauna
or bath naked with other people you will feel uncomfortable but in the end you
will realize that you are on the same boat. It’s up to you how to get out on
your comfort zones. It isn’t luxurious it is very far from luxury because you
will sleep on the mat and pillows. It’s not bad to try and it should be part of
your list.

Food isn’t a big issue in Korea. There are 24/7 kimbap shops
or restaurants that offers budget friendly food. In Korea they offer various
dishes such as stews (Kimchi jjigae), soups (dumpling and rice cake soup),
kimbap (rice and vegetable rolled in seaweed), rice dishes, pork cutlet
(adaptation of Japanese tonkatsu), and spicy rice cakes (tteokbokki). All you
need to do is for you to prepare your tummy and ready at least 6 USD.
Experience the place outside the city.
The Korea can offer the best of the nature. You have to get
out of the city and experience new things in peninsula. Like the water? Visit
one of the many islands dotting the coast such as Namhae and Bigeumdo. Looking for mountains? Take your pick at one
of the many mountains and national parks. Seoraksan, Jirisan, and Wolchulsan
are among the most beautiful mountains.
Take a reusable bottle with you

saving money. It is very common in Korea to see filtered water. You can fill it
in restaurants, malls, or even bus stations. In that you don’t need to buy
drinks from time to time.
