In 2023 I went on a 2-week solo trip to South Korea, and a couple of days into it I thought – every girl gang needs a holiday in South Korea! 

In 2024 I hosted a wholesome all-women South Korea group trip. And I’m BACK with the All Women South Korea Group Trip 2025! It will be even better and downright the most affordable South Korea group trip.

So, bring on your girl gang or find your s(e)oul sisters on this epic South Korea trip! The plan is to create core memories, share a laugh over soju (or a coffee, you do you!), be a part of the world we’ve only been seeing on screen (K-drama/K-pop lovers unite!), cheer on as we try new experiences and forge friendships! 

Ready to join our sisterhood on the move?
