How I'd drive Aewol

애월 · 6 stops

Jay · lives in Korea · How I choose places

late morning to evening

Aewol is the easy first day off the plane, and this is how I'd spend it: lunch on a round tray, a walk across an old lava field, a streetwear shop, coffee, then the animal park and Saebyeol Oreum to end the day. Any day works.

No photos, no star ratings — just what I'd tell a friend.
