Story telling contests series "I have pinned my dream destination" story#7 author Paulina Simonaitytė

I am sure that every single person had dreamed about some kind of journey and maybe some people have even fulfilled their wish to travel somewhere. But right now, the whole world is in a really bad situation, We cannot travel right now, we do not have that much freedom anymore. So all that is left for now is to imagine trip to our dream destinations.

Throughout every year I’ve dreamed about different places, but right now there is one specific country I would love to visit the most. It is South Korea. 

The first reason why I want to go there is probably because I am really into Korean music, when I started to like Korean songs I started to learn more stuff about South Korea. When I found out more about South Korean traditions, about the cities in South Korea and about South Korean culture I fell in love with this country.

Me and my best friend decided to go to South Korea, We both always wanted to go there, so we just thought, why not now? We bought plane tickets and booked the hotels.

 

We decided that we will book a few hotels in different cities so that we could see more. We made a plan of the places we want to see and all the objects that we want to go to. After a month, the time has come, we packed our clothes and other important stuff and went to the airport.

Our flight was a connecting flight, we had a stop in Frankfurt, Germany. Once we landed, we saw a different view through the window, it was so beautiful. When we got off the plane, we immediately went to pick up our luggage and we wanted to leave the airport as soon as possible so that we could enjoy our first day here. We walked to our hotel on foot because it was not that far, and we wanted to look around. When we reached the hotel we had a problem. We forgot to take one of our suitcases we, left it in the airport. We put our things in the rooms and rushed to the airport. Luckily, airport workers took our suitcase and they kept it with themselves safely, we got it back. We went back to our hotel and went to sleep. 

It was our second week in South Korea and we saw many things. We went to cities like, Daegu, Busan, Gwangju, Jeonju and also Jeju island! We took so many pictures and videos of everything. We also ate a lot of traditional Korean food and stayed in a traditional Korean house which is called hanok. We also met so many new people who became our friends. 

We came back home 3 months ago but we still cannot stop talking about our journey to South Korea. We promised that we will go there again. We told everything to our families and friends, we even made a presentation with all our pictures and videos. We brought them some presents from South Korea. Everyone was really happy, and we were happy too!
