Hi everyone! =) I'm going to Korea next month for 3 weeks =) All 3 of us are girls and this is our first time backpacking XD I'd appreciate some input on my rough itinerary coz I've been bogged down with work up until now to plan in detail hehe.. We're going to couch surf so accommodation-wise we're covered =) This is my rough itinerary:

Friday, 1st july: Arrive at Korea, 9pm+++ going to spend the night at the airport coz we don't wanna trouble my Korean friend's parents.

2-6th/7th: Seoul

6th/7th-9th: Head to Busan aboard KTO's free shuttle bus(if we get the tickets XD)

10-12th: Gyeongju/Jeonju

13th: Head back to Seoul(If we get the free shuttle bus ticket). Spend 2 days there. Prolly spend 1 whole day in Nami Island lol~

15-18th: Gangwondo

19-22nd: Seoul =) Our flight back to Malaysia is on Friday night.. =)

We've done our research and all but haven't decided where to go in detail haha.. Everything is sorta swimming in our heads but by next week we'd like to finalize our detailed itinerary.

p/s: Would ₩ 45,000 be enough daily? We're breaking it down to;
-> ₩ 10k Admission fees to tourist places, ₩ 20k food, ₩ 15k                                          transport.

Since we're Muslims basically we'll be eating kimbap/bread and serunding brought from malaysia most of the time haha.. We'll prolly eat Korean/tasty food once a day XD

Any input is greatly appreciated =)
