Hello, this is rara.
Today, Iโd like to introduce my family trip to Jeju Island. Looking at the photos, it feels as if I am still there. I am so grateful to have captured such precious and beautiful memories, and it was such a happy trip that I want to visit again! Iโll start sharing my story now.

We took a flight from Daegu and arrived in Jeju Island!! For this trip, seven of us traveled together: my brother's family of four, my two parents, and myself.

Jeju Island, often called the Hawaii of Korea!! With its stunning emerald ocean, Jeju is so beautiful. Although Iโve traveled abroad many times while living in Korea, this was my first time visiting Jeju, so I was really looking forward to this trip.

It was just as beautiful as I had imagined. I love the ocean so much. Looking at the endless sea makes me feel refreshed, fluttery, and happy in a way that words can't describe. My love for the ocean started youngโI used to cry when my aunt, who lived by the sea, visited our village because she didn't "bring the ocean with her." I still love it just as much today. Seeing the stunning waters of Jeju, a place Iโve wanted to visit for so long, made me want to jump right in, but I had to hold back since the weather isn't quite warm enough for swimming yet! ^^

How is the ocean? Beautiful, isn't it? The emerald color of the water really made my heart flutter. And I made a promise to myself right here: I will come back with my parents in the heat of summer and stay in the water forever!!! lol

It looks deep at a glance, but for some reason, I felt so confident that I wouldn't drown if I jumped in; all I could think about was playing in the water! ^^ In reality, however, I couldn't do that, so I just took a ton of photos of the ocean instead.

Leaving the ocean behind, we went to grab a meal. My sister-in-law had researched and booked a great restaurant in advance^^ I was so grateful. It was wonderful to eat so much delicious food!! My only concern is that I ate so much that I gained a lot of weight ใ ใ sob

The second place we visited was a camellia park. It was my first time seeing so many flowers in one place, and the garden was so vast that we couldn't even explore it all. I took many beautiful photos with my family here.

I also visited Jusangjeolli Cliff, which looks like a sculpture crafted by nature. These vertical, column-shaped rocks were formed when hot lava met the sea and cooled rapidly. Itโs mysterious how these elaborate columns, looking as if carved by a sculptor, blend so perfectly with the ocean. It was a spectacular sight that let me fully experience the mystery of Jeju as a volcanic island.

I also visited Yongmeori Coast, famous for its majestic coastal cliffs. The sandstone layers accumulated over tens of millions of years create a stunning view, and the blue sea visible between them was truly fantastic. It was a place that once again made me admire the mysteries of nature.

I also encountered special plants that can only be seen in Jeju. The tangerine trees ripening yellow under the blue sky perfectly captured Jeju's freshness, and the cactus colonies growing resiliently on the barren land gave off a truly exotic vibe. It was a gift-like scenery from Jeju's nature that isn't easily found on the mainland.

Next, we headed to Arte Museum Jeju, where you can experience the essence of media art. From spaces filled with colorful flower rain to exhibitions that made me feel like a character in a famous painting, it was a mesmerizing time. The video of a giant wave crashing right before my eyes was especially overwhelming! We had an unforgettable time taking photos of each other and creating wonderful memories together.

I'll wrap up this Jeju trip with some group photos of my family. Traveling as a large family of seven starting from Daegu wasn't always easy, but seeing the bright smiles in these photos makes me realize it was totally worth it. From eating delicious food to seeing breathtaking scenery, but most importantly, being together with my loved ones all day long made this trip so fulfilling. I'll take these precious memories as fuel to get back into my daily routine! I truly hope we can all come back here together again soon.
