Hi, I’m Leelikoi — a Korean local who’s spent years figuring out where to actually go.

Not the places trending on travel YouTube. Not the restaurants packed wall-to-wall with tourists while locals walk right past. The spots where Koreans actually eat, hang out, and spend their weekends — the kind you only hear about through a friend who grew up here.

This blog is mostly a running record of places my boyfriend and I have actually been to: restaurants and cafes worth going back to, date spots around Korea, and wherever there’s a good vibe.

Oh, the dolphin? I love swimming. Simple as that.
