About the episode
In this episode of The Vacay, we're exploring South Korea, a destination on the rise that's capturing the hearts of foodies, K-pop fans, and cultural adventurers alike. From the bustling, tech-forward streets of Seoul to the scenic port city of Busan and the historic charm of Gyeongju, South Korea is a country where tradition meets ultra-modern living. Host Sophie Jackson chats with Stacey Brownsey from Helloworld Travel to uncover why now is the perfect time to visit, before it becomes the next Japan. Expect insights into the best cherry blossom spots, local cuisine that rivals any global foodie hotspot, and the rising popularity of Korean skincare, K-Dramas, and K-Pop tourism. Whether you're craving mountain air, beachside relaxation, or Michelin-worthy street food, South Korea is a destination that promises it all, with fewer crowds (for now).
