SEOUL GUIDE ☕️ non-touristy & cozy hidden places, cafe's, shopping & Korean food

what are your recommendations for Yongsan? 💚

PLEASE make this a series! That would mean the world to me and I guess lots of other people who like to travel to Korea. It is just so hard to find the good places in one area, so you don't have to waste time going back and forth. Could you do a video on Gangnam-gu next? I know it is a very obvious one, but when I was there I felt like it is very hard to find actually "good" places there. As a tourist your left with walking from one subway station to the next, hoping you have caught a sense of what this huge construct of Gangnam is...

This is what I need!!! A locals guide! Not a guide from KRplusrs visiting for the first time and telling us the best spots 😂

what a fun video! I really like this style - learning some history and culture through cozy vibes - and am excited for the series! :)

Non-touristy & cozy is exactly what I look for when I travel!! You did so well with this, Sissel. Like everyone else is saying, this needs to be a series!

I love this!! Hope this becomes a series (I especially loved the korean food content) 💚

This came at such a perfect time! I’m moving to Seoul from Canada in less than two weeks and I’m so excited to explore. Thank you for showing us around ☺️

I need a series of this! this is exactly what I need, I've been planning a korea trip but I get super boring results, having a local showing me around different neighbourhoods is wayyyy better! I love it sissel

I’m heading to Korea next week and staying in Yongsan !! This couldn’t come at a better time. Thank you Sissel 🥹

You are so cute and your videos are so amazing, (p.s: u look like a good hugger tbh), thank u for the update!!! ❤️❤️

Omg loving this new series sissel! Excited about next week’s vid.

요즘 너무 재밌어요 자주 올라와서 너무 조음🤩

So grateful that you shared some of your favourite places with all of us! Such an insightful video, these hidden gems look amazing. Will definitley be visiting most of them while in Korea next Spring 🥰 p.s i'm 100% attending the makgeolli making classes hahah 😍

Thank you Sissel! This is exactly what I was looking for when I commented on your previous video asking for tips. I will be there in a couple of weeks and can't wait!!

Sissel this was so good! the quality and the feel of the video was so nice! i just returned from almost 2 months in Seoul and wish this came out a little earlier BUT seeing Hannam felt all cozy! i love Leeum also and that whole are. I cant wait for more eps!

Sissel! You are constantly flowing with new ideas for content, I love it! Been saving some of your videos over the past year (including the stayfolio hanoks ;)) whenever a trip to Korea becomes a reality. Thank you!

as always ur content is amazing and i hope this is a series cause i absolutely loved it

팬데믹 이후로 외국인 여행자가 급증한 것 같은데 많은 여행객들이 짧은 일정 안에서 항상 명동, 인사동, 남산타워, 롯데월드정도만 가는 것 같아 참 아쉬웠어요. sissel님이 진짜 한국인들이 노는 곳, 서울의 hidden gem들을 보여주셔서 너무 좋았고 특히 저 막걸리집은 저도 꼭 가봐야겠네요😮
구독 꾹 누르고 갑니다💚
edit)신용산역이랑 아모레퍼시픽 본사 건물이 연결되어 있는데 지하에 미술관이 있으니 거기도 한 번 가보세요:)

wow, aesthetic AND informative? what a perfect format, please make it a series 💖

I am usually a quiet and silent subscriber, as you must have already noticed (although I always do like and thumbs up to boost videos💕), but I needed to say that your growth and maturity are so inspiring! I have been following you for 3 years now and I have watched all of your videos (I binge watched many of them in one sitting during the pandemic, from first to last) and I have seen your growth and how you have matured healthily and I really feel very proud! It is weird because we are not relatives and we’ve met only once (in the picnic you organized and was so cool! We all enjoyed it so much!) but I do feel pride and wish you keep up the good work you are doing on yourself💕 It definitely shows and translates into a beautiful and radiant Sissel❤ I am a lot older than you, but I love learning from you: you have a lot to teach me and the world.
Big hugs (now from Lisbon, not Buenos Aires or Seoul) from me and my husband🤗💕

LOVE this video, I find content like this so useful and informative

So cozy and comforting! Sissel you never fail to make us smile and we would love to see more hidden gems in future videos 💖

In love with this series, keep up the good work Sissel

I always love watching your videos but this one feels refreshing, it’s such a nice one!

Omg I love this!!! So many cozy beautiful places I want to visit😻😻

Very well donde video, loved it! Thank you for all the cozy vibe reconmmendations🥰

This is my most favorite Korea vlogue ever! I love your style and recommendations. I can't wait to go back to Seoul and try these places

Love all your recommendation ’ I love the whole video style and music too ❤❤❤❤❤

Love this informative style vibe 💚

Such a wholesome and cosy video 🫶🏼

With every upload and smile you show is the mundane and beautiful things around the world! I love you Sissel you are such a light ❤ Will forever wish you all happiness and peace 🥰

i loved this like vlog/docu style content🤎 yongsan has definitely been immensely growing with so many cafes over the past couple of years🥐 i love “stoked” at sinyongsan they sell aussie desserts 🦘

who needs a tour guide with this video 🌸✨🥹 thank you for sharing the beautiful areas of Seoul ~

i lived in hannam for a few months and i'm going back this saturday, watching this gave me a ton more bookmarks to check out thank you!!

I LOVED this so much!! plus one day when I go to Seoul and visit these places I'll remember my favorite tour guide Sissel

We love a non-gate keeping girl boss!! But seriously I love this series SO MUCH already ❤ thank you for sharing the tips & all these great spots. Can’t wait to see more!! It would be fun if you did a “cozy spots for Christmas/holidays” as well with like cute cafes that decorate or places to go during the holidays with lights etc. 💚 oh and thank you for linking to Naver maps 🙏🏻🙏🏻 that makes it so much easier to bookmark the places 👌🏻

Looking forward to this series!! Ha I'm the one forever going to Mapo (purely because it's closer to me), and this inspires me to venture out more - a good watch thank you 🥰

This has been really helpful!! I’ve been researching on Yongsan for an upcoming trip next year to Seoul. Thank you for the recommendations, Sissel! 💕

I’ll be coming to Korea in May so these videos are perfect, please keep them up! ❤

Omg this series is amazingggggg thank you so much I will visit them all

I love how creative and charming you are, this video is just perfect. Keep going sissel ❤

I stayed in HBC back in october and wish i couldve seen this sooner! but you've also taught me some new things, I cant wait to go back! Please continue this series~ I'd love to know more about Seongsu-dong, since all i know is that its good for cafes. I feel like ever since the accident in itaewon, no one has shown it love. It was a beautiful, fun area and Im excited to see what it becomes.

I liked this video very much. It's a bit different than your usual but in a good way. Nice variety and suggestions. Thanks!

one of fav places in seoul! can’t wait to try out your recs in april :)

i really like this content as other people.. thank you so much Sissel for this great video! 💕

Great idea, Sissel! Im planning a trip to South Korea next year and I’ve already been making a list of must dos. Id also love to see your fave outdoor activities.

This was so lovely! You really captured the cozy vibes and presented everything is such a calming way, I felt I was strolling with you. All the sights were totally my taste and I'd love to be able to visit some day. Thank you for this beautiful tour 🙂

ouhhh i LOVE that type of guide 🥹✨

I'm studying in Seoul right now, thanks you for the recommendations! I will definitely go to all of them 😍

Sis, thank you so much for this video, I've been getting to explore and get to know Yongsangu more, but literally, none of my friends here really hang out there, and couldn't really find any nice places besides those more tourist-focused ones. So this really helped me a lot, and hopefully this weekend or anywhere in the near future I'm gonna stop at some of the places you showed and recommended! Thank you again and I'm sending lots of love~ 💚

This is such a good idea 😍 saving that video for the time I’ll visit to Seoul 😊thank youuuu ❤️

I really like these types of travel recommendations videos 💗

Great vlog. Interesting to see authentic content. Thank you!

Yeay,more content like this 😍👏💕

Have been watching your channel for a while and this was the best one so far. Please make it into a series. It would mean a lot if you could make similar videos on jongno-gu, mapo-gu, gangam-gu as well as lesser known districts. can't wait to watch more of these cozy girl guides

... this is next level content... thank you sissel... great vibes... excellent information in a visually pleasing way... and quite frankly the world of the cozy girl is aspirational... until next time 🤍💛🖤

This was really enjoyable to watch Sissel. I loved seeing the different stores would love to see more stores too but this is great had my coffee this morning and enjoyed your video

Tysm for this! I plan to meet with a friend next week and we wanted to explore an area in Seoul before I left in December!

I went to Lee‘s Frame recently and bought 2 paintings 🤩🤩 So beautiful! And the owners are so lovely 🥰 Thank you for the tip Sissel ❤️

thanks for the episode, really, so many great things to do for the next trip :)

Thanks for this Sissel. 💛💛💛

Love your content, ❤ and this one’s amazing 🤩 I wish I could use them one day .

영상 분위기가 너무 깔끔하고 좋음

Sissel- our cute cozy guide 😍❤❤❤❤

The best cozy girl on the internet✨💚

I can’t wait to check out your recommended spaces. Can’t believe I haven’t been to Haebangchon Sinheung Market. It looks so cozy 😍. Thanks so much for sharing these places. And I might have a Christmas present idea for my husband now 🍶😉

I'm literally coming to Korea in 2 weeks so this is Christmas present from you to me (without you knowing ha) Thank you so much xx

Inspire me to go visit Korea. Thanks for sharing ❤

I loved this! My husband (who is Korean), my two toddlers and I are thinking of moving to Korea next year! If we do, I hope I remember to come back to this video for places to go! We were in Korea in mid September for a month and I had a few places I wanted to go to but some of these are definitely my vibe so they need to be added to the long list haha

Going to Seoul in a few days, this could not have come at a better time😊 thanks, Sissel

i watched first 30 seconds and i already love the video ❤ that’s rarely happens to me

This is such an amazing video It makes me miss korea so much. I really must go back and visit these places.🥰

Very interesting! Thnks 💚 the “ real” Life in Seoul !

I'm doing a solo weekend trip to Seoul at the end of the month so this was a perfect timing 😍 not sure if yongsan will be in the itinerary but if it is I'll know where to go 🎉

I currently live in Mangwon and I would looove to see your recommendations there!! Already planning on going to Sinheung market in the next few days 🥰

Hi ❤ I’m from Thailand. i just found your vlog and really fall in love with your style. Mood and tone are so cozy but classy 🥰 I will fly to Seoul in a few weeks to see 벚꽃 🌸 and enjoy my break. Thank for this interesting places. I’m already subscribe 🥰👍🏻💕

Wow brilliant video sissel looked it🙉❤️❤️❤️

LOVED the video 🤎

Lovely video! Well done ❤

This was sooo good.

You had me at “oat milk”
But no! Thank you so much. I really appreciate this!
(If I had to watch another video with Onion Cafe and Nudake….. )🙄
Very well done. Thank you ❤

like everyone’s saying, please please make this a series!

I only got to drive through Yongsan-gu while in Korea. Those steep, tight, winding streets made me want to walk it 😊

this is such a good concept sissel!! and so glad to see that upstanding made the cut it’s by far one of the best cafe in seoul 🫶🏻

I hated Itaewon went I visited, but this video explains why ahahaha, thank you for this guide I'll definitely use it next time

So you're also an excellent tour guide too. More please

Makgeolli my favorite. Didn’t get to taste a good one when i was there in Spring

So fun! Super cozy and informative! Really nailed it, Sissel. 🖤 Would there be a possibility of adding any vegetarian or vegan friendly spots to some of these tours? I’ve been planning to visit Seoul and both my husband and I are vegetarians (lil’ nervous about food options).

omg lived in korea for a year and never knew about shinyongsan! visiting korea again and might visit! the shinyongsan 탕 place is soo expensive for korea tho! 😭

윤주당 제 친구 가게입니다. 정말 맛있고 멋진 곳입니다.
막걸리도 맛있지만 18도약주도 맛있고, 특히 삼해소주를 맛본다면 다른 술을 못마실거에요. 잘보고 갑니다.

Yunjudang looks interesting!

More seoul guide please 😊

What areas do you recommend getting any Airbnb or hotel in that give off cozy vibe and has good access?

근처사는데도 몰랐던 장소들이 많아요 ㅎㅎ

덕분에 서울 토박이라 간과라고 지나간 서울 모습을 알게 돼요❤

One of my favorite things is when you take us around Seoul neighbourhoods and make us feel like we are your friends, newly arrived in town, and you are introducing us to your best hangouts! Loved this, thank you so much Sissel. You and Stephanie are both so beautiful, i bet you guys get lots of compliments when you are out and about 💜💜I just wanted to add that I really enjoyed your soundtrack in this vlog 🙏🤗

I Sas travestine when i went to visit that shabby shabu place nearbye. Café was closed tho :(

Being an Army I would go there for the HYBE building 😂 but it is good to learn more about the local areas. I like to go to places where to locals hang out and not tourist areas.

Am I crazy but at 6:34 that’s the street where they filmed “Tune in for love” where the bakery is???
