Unfortunately i have to rewrite this blog because i just lost everything due to the previous blog provider i was using and a little bit my stupidity. I wanted to delete a blog and accidentally deleted my account, and the stupid blog host doesn't have an UNDO option.
So i'm kinda sad, rewriting it will be fun but i lost the effect of having it written while i was experiencing it.

Hi, i'm a 36 year old woman from the Netherlands (a small country in west europe), i was 33 when i started this blog.
When i was young my family didn't really traveled far for vacations, we stayed in this country or traveled to our southern neighbors; Belgium. Once we went with all of our aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews from my father's side to Eurodisney near Paris in France, that's about a 5-6 hour drive from us, that was very far for me.
Later when i was around 14 years old me and my best friend went again to Paris and Eurodisney with a group bus tour, 14 yes...we where the good and quiet girls in school, so our parents didn't worry about us doing stupid things.
Later, much later when i had a job at a company that was doing very well back then, we went on a weekend "study"-trip to Budapest, Hungary (those good old days when the company was doing well), i was 24 back then and it was the first time i set foot on an airplane. As far as getting traveling experience from that...not really, i was just blindly following my colleague's with no idea of what i was doing and where i was going. Later i asked my colleague's if this counted as vacation/traveling and they told me this definitely didn't count. 2 Years later we did the same and went a weekend to Capri, Italy.
So, as my colleague's said, i never had gone on vacation or traveled outside of the country before (i was very experienced in traveling inside our country though, always going everywhere with public transport). In my 20's my friends and me went to festivals and concerts allot, not really interested in traveling and only saying "when we have enough money when we're older we want to go to ...", we had allot of fun and a good time, i never regretted it.
But then i got interested in South-Korea, i won't explain why here, that's a story for on my "About me" blog. I watched allot of Korean drama's and variety shows, and became fan of an amazing k-pop group. As i watched those drama's and variety shows i wanted to see and go there myself, walk in those places i saw on t.v., experience their customs and traditions and what is was like to be there amongst those people. Slowly i wanted to go there more and more and my mind started thinking about how i would do that...a girl with no traveling experience at all wanting to go to a small, rather unknown, country on the other side of the world, where in addition people didn't speak English very well mostly. The only thing i could think of was going with a group tour....
And that is where my blog kinda started, hope you enjoy following me on this awesome trip.
