The Seoul Diaries: 2박 3일 in 제주도~
Howdy and welcome back! Last week, I went on probably my only true vacation that I will be getting before the semester starts again (sad, I know). However, this trip to Jeju Island was probably the most healing time that I have felt in a long time. Of course, it was very hot, humid, and…

You should get away (to another place)
