TRYING DESSERTS IN SEOUL 🇰🇷

One thing you quickly learn about Thiago when you meet him is that he has a sweet tooth - he loves pastries and desserts (and snacks too, so I’m calling him Mr. Snack).

Since Seoul had so many dessert spots, he found the perfect excuse to try as many as he could 😂 please excuse the audio quality as we didn’t have a mic cause this wasn’t planned.

And yes, he used ChatGPT for recs and, as you probably realized, he’s obsessed with sweet condensed milk and asked for desserts that had the ingredient 😂😂

Let us know if you would like to see more videos like this!

::::postcards from SEOUL 🇰🇷 and some random facts about this incredible city!

☕️ The number of coffee shops in this city is not a joke. Can’t complain.

🥐 Desserts and pastries everywhere - so many delicious options!

🧴 There’s a store named Olive 🫒 Young (it’s the South Korean Sephora, carrying k-beauty brands) and I’ve lost count on how many stores I saw while exploring Seoul

🍛 The food scene is so rich! There are tons of Korean BBQ spots.

📍Google Maps doesn’t work properly in the country. You can use it, but it’s not gonna give you routes. There are other options like Kakao Maps

🏪 If in Tokyo you see 7 Eleven stores everywhere, in Seoul you have Nice to CU (Brazilians will laugh at this). These convenience stores are everywhere.

🍚 They love rice - and they make so many creative dishes with it! Their liquor, Soju, is made from fermented rice.

SEOUL 🇰🇷 DAY 4 ~ last day 😢

We spent our last day in Seoul doing what we love the most: just wandering around, going to coffee shops, discovering new places… feels good not rushing to check 1029828 things from a bucket list. Mr. Snack was super happy with some of the desserts we found and we also had a soju tasting (but perhaps what I love the most about it was learning more about life in South Korea).

We are heading to Japan and tomorrow we will catch our flight to NYC. Missing home and missing Dalbit, but I will definitely gonna miss Seoul. This was such a special trip and I had so many good reflections about life while being here ❤️🥹

Stay tuned for some remaining content! And soon I will share all the details on my blog!

SEOUL 🇰🇷 DAY 3! Such a beautiful and sunny day! We tried some sweet treats - including some exquisite dessert - we enjoyed Cheonggyecheon - an 11 km-long stream that runs through downtown Seoul - and we were able to get some beautiful and unique views of the city. We also took a private tour at the Korean War Memorial and had some BBQ at a place where there was no English menu.

What a day… this whole trip has been such a nice journey. ❤️

HELLO SEOUL 🇰🇷 Can’t believe I’m here - this was an old dream, more than Tokyo!

Our days 1 and 2 looked like this: the overwhelming Myeongdong, a delicious food tour, k-beauty, an experience at a Korean salon, the Statue of Gangnam Style and the sixth-tallest building in the world (which provided a frustrating experience, but I will talk more about that later on stories).

::: postcards from Tokyo 🇯🇵- and the last one is probably my favorite. It reminds of scenes from my own hometown in 🇧🇷

Some random thoughts and facts about this incredible city:

🗑️ There are no trash cans on the streets (it was kinda shocking). And some places forbid you to bring trash from other places.

🚗 Not only the roads and cars are left-handed, but also the sidewalks and the stairs. It took us a while to start walking on the left instead of the right side lol

🚽 The modern toilets. I can’t get over. It’s so cool. Ohh, and the fact that a lot of public restrooms have a little chair for babies.

💼 The bag holders at restaurants and cafes - apparently, there’s a superstition about putting purses and other bags directly on the floor - you would loose your money.

🥤Vending machines and 7-eleven stores EVERYWHERE

🇯🇵 The kindness of Japanese people. They are so nice and polite. (I know this is a tourist POV, so feel free to share more).

🧹 The cleanliness of the city. The streets, the subway, the trains. Spotless.

🇺🇸 Some people asked me about the language: we had no issues speaking English. Even when they don’t speak fluently, they try their best.

This is our first time in Asia and it has been such an incredible and fascinating experience. This trip def hit different ❤️
