About Me

Jeju local · Travel writer · Your island insider

If you've landed here, you're probably planning a trip to Jeju — and I'm really glad you found this blog.

My name is Sunny, and I've lived on Jeju Island for years. What started as scribbling notes for friends asking "where should I go?" slowly grew into this travel guide — written from the inside out.

☀️ Sunny's Tip — Every single post on this blog comes from personal experience. No copy-pasting, no guessing. If I haven't been there myself, I don't write about it.

Why This Blog Exists

There are already thousands of Jeju travel blogs out there. Most of them repeat the same list of must-see spots with the same stock photos. What I wanted to create was something different: a guide that tells you what it's actually like to be there — the entrance fee that surprises you, the parking spot that saves your morning, the café seat you need to grab before 10am.

Whether you're a first-time visitor trying to plan every hour, or a solo traveler who wants to wander without a rigid itinerary, I want this blog to feel like advice from a friend who knows Jeju well — not a travel brochure.

What You'll Find Here

🌋 Jeju landmarks — honest reviews with practical tips most blogs skip
☕ Café guides — which seat to grab, when to arrive, what to order
🍽️ Local food — from haenyeo grandma's seafood to black pork that's actually worth it
🚗 Getting around — car rental, EV charging, bus routes, everything
📅 Seasonal guides — because Jeju in May looks nothing like Jeju in November
🌍 For international visitors — English-language guides for every major topic

On my way to Incheon — the journey to Jeju starts here ✈️ There are two ways to get from Incheon to Jeju: Route A: Transfer to Gimpo Airport (Recommended) Most domestic flights to Jeju depart from Gimpo Airport (GMP) , which is closer to Seoul. You will need to take a shuttle bus, AREX (Airport Railroad), or taxi from Incheon to Gimpo. Route B: Direct Flight from Incheon There are limited direct flights from Incheon (ICN) to Jeju.
