The Mendiolables South Korea trip is DIY. The adventure started from getting a Korean Visa. It was actually quite dizzying to do DIY Trip specially because I'm not really good at planning. I started reading blogs and other sites since February right after I booked our airline tickets at the travel fair.
Planning this trip meant a lot of reading and lack of sleep. DIY Trip is both exciting and stressful but John and I still prefer this kind of trip because we were not limited to stay in one place at a very short time. Most of my friends who bought a package said, they were mostly brought to shops and other places where they need to buy stuff.
