I left Korea 3 years ago. I was determined to go back to Korea for the 2018 winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. This week I asked my employer for 2 weeks off in February and they approved!!
I have already booked my flight, accommodations, and a ticket to one of the figure skating sessions. I'm very excited to be back. My flight leaves from the USA on February 3rd and departs Korea on February 17. I will be staying at a hostel in Seoul near Dongdaemun.
I was able to find a flight package on Travelocity for $1,035 USD. The package included a round trip flight and 12 days in a hostel in Seoul. I will be sharing a room at the hostel with 2 other females. I wish the price was lower, but I think the price is good for flight and accommodations.
I bought a ticket to the Men's short program/pair short program on February 9th for $138 from the Fan to Fan ticket resale website. I will be sitting in the nosebleed section, but at least I will be there. I've always wanted to go to the Olympics and figure skating is one of my favorite events. I am still searching for a ticket to the opening ceremony. I know its in high demand.
I still have a lot of things to plan. I will have many more blog posts on the Olympics, Korean food, places to visit and what i was doing on my trip. I will space out the posts so I don't have so much at one time.
While I am in Korea I plan to visit new places, try new food, revisit former places where I worked and lived, and visit with friends that I met. I also plan to make some new videos for my YouTube channel.
