Hello miss Karla may I know how much the cost the tour of the Korean drama filming locations?
Hi! I went there without any tour guide so it’s free hehe
It depends on the location. ^^
Im one of your followers… i am an EPS worker here in SoKor and i believe that even if im a foreign worker here I should at least find some time to treat myself by going out especially to the famous landmarks here. Being an OFW is an opportunity to earn more for the future and likewise, its an amazing privilege to explore this beautiful country.
I was in nami island,seoul tower,gyeongbukgong palace and seoul zoo (safari).
