A Peaceful Getaway with Ocean Views, Delicious Food, and Precious Time with My Mother
Hi there! I recently went on a 4-day, 3-night trip to Jeju Island with my mom.
It had been a while since we traveled together—just the two of us—so we were excited and prepared thoroughly.
From relaxing nature walks to local food adventures, we enjoyed every moment of this trip.
Here’s a detailed itinerary of our Jeju Island family trip, perfect for anyone planning a peaceful getaway with loved ones!
