    what are your recommendations for Yongsan? 💚
  • @user-eh7sl7oy1g
    PLEASE make this a series! That would mean the world to me and I guess lots of other people who like to travel to Korea. It is just so hard to find the good places in one area, so you don't have to waste time going back and forth. Could you do a video on Gangnam-gu next? I know it is a very obvious one, but when I was there I felt like it is very hard to find actually "good" places there. As a tourist your left with walking from one subway station to the next, hoping you have caught a sense of what this huge construct of Gangnam is...

    This is what I need!!! A locals guide! Not a guide from YouTubers visiting for the first time and telling us the best spots 😂
  • @cozykiinss
    Non-touristy & cozy is exactly what I look for when I travel!! You did so well with this, Sissel. Like everyone else is saying, this needs to be a series!
  • @annette4929
    what a fun video! I really like this style - learning some history and culture through cozy vibes - and am excited for the series! :)
  • @Allmylovelyc
    This came at such a perfect time! I’m moving to Seoul from Canada in less than two weeks and I’m so excited to explore. Thank you for showing us around ☺️
  • @co_dey
    I love this!! Hope this becomes a series (I especially loved the korean food content) 💚
  • @ineslopes3917
    I need a series of this! this is exactly what I need, I've been planning a korea trip but I get super boring results, having a local showing me around different neighbourhoods is wayyyy better! I love it sissel <3 Definitely one of my fav videos from you!! It's a mix of everything I love, coffee, fashion, food and culture!
  • @natashajy_
    I’m heading to Korea next week and staying in Yongsan !! This couldn’t come at a better time. Thank you Sissel 🥹
  • @velyvely6479
    Sissel this was so good! the quality and the feel of the video was so nice! i just returned from almost 2 months in Seoul and wish this came out a little earlier BUT seeing Hannam felt all cozy! i love Leeum also and that whole are. I cant wait for more eps!

  • @amorfati3559
    We love a non-gate keeping girl boss!! But seriously I love this series SO MUCH already ❤ thank you for sharing the tips & all these great spots. Can’t wait to see more!! It would be fun if you did a “cozy spots for Christmas/holidays” as well with like cute cafes that decorate or places to go during the holidays with lights etc. 💚 oh and thank you for linking to Naver maps 🙏🏻🙏🏻 that makes it so much easier to bookmark the places 👌🏻
  • @jchienszegedy
    This was so lovely! You really captured the cozy vibes and presented everything is such a calming way, I felt I was strolling with you. All the sights were totally my taste and I'd love to be able to visit some day. Thank you for this beautiful tour 🙂
  • @allisonB123
    One of my favorite things is when you take us around Seoul neighbourhoods and make us feel like we are your friends, newly arrived in town, and you are introducing us to your best hangouts! Loved this, thank you so much Sissel. You and Stephanie are both so beautiful, i bet you guys get lots of compliments when you are out and about 💜💜I just wanted to add that I really enjoyed your soundtrack in this vlog 🙏🤗
