Global WOW KOREA :)

courtesy of Wow Korea Supporters Facebook
As I saw this ads, I did not hesitate to join! So I was able to write this blog!

I want to be a Global WOW KOREA! How to become one of it? I wanna come and see Korea!
I am an active SNS user and sharing mostly about Korea Tourism hence I can say that I am a Social Media Influencer. Why I "definitely" want to visit Korea?

Back in year 2011, I am first hooked in a Korean Drama entitled City Hunter starring Lee MinHo who is now my most favorite actor! As i finished this Drama, I started to watch more of his drama and then other Korean Dramas and opened my way into the K-Pop World!

First, I only like Bigbang and 2NE1 but as soon as i watched Running Man a Korean Variety Show it introduced me to a lot of K-Pop Idols / Groups that leads me to love Hallyu and started dreaming to Visit Korea someday which is the country of Korean Actors and K-Pop Idols that makes me happy.

My eagerness to Visit Korea which I acknowledged to myself as my 2nd Home next to our country made me to love Korea Tourism. Just like my mind is set for preparing my self to learn more about Korea's culture, traditions, language so whenever the perfect time comes where I can finally Visit Korea is I will be all ready and fully knowledge about what to do and don't.

Finally, March 2016 my dream came true and I was super grateful to KTO Manila that after being a WOW Korea Supporter for 2 consecutive years I have been chosen as one of the Best WOW Korea Supporter and awarded a full Let's GO JEJU! tour package to Jeju, South Korea.

After spending 4 Days and 3 Nights tour at Jeju, South Korea it made me Dream and Believe more! Yes! I never stopped dreaming I doesn't even visited the mainland Seoul and I don't wanna visit just Seoul but would definitely want to explore different cities in Korea. Hence, this is just the beginning of my journey! As I have so much love for Korea I always wanted to go back whenever there is a chance and great opportunity like this!

Now, I wanted to fulfill my duty in spreading Korea Tourism with love through being a Global WOW Korea! This is a great privilege for me and I won't miss this chance to be part of it.

Below are some reasons behind my thousand explanations and feels why I must Visit Korea!

Korea my dream land, my second home! To be able to do all in my bucketlist! To fulfill what I am wishing for so many years! To achieve my dreams and goals as a big fangirl of Korea! I am even thinking of my dream itinerary!

First, to fulfill my dream to arrive at this world-class airport! one of the best airports in the world! 

Incheon International Airport

Drive our way to the longest bridge in Korea! Beautiful both day and night! 

Incheon Daegyo
Stroll and capture the picturesque night view of Songdo Central Park with its newest Led Rose Garden.

I would like to see this kind of view! Amazing night scenery of the Han River in front of me while watching the Rainbow Fountain Show in Banpo Bridge while I can see the N Seoul Tower in tha background from afar.

Living in a tropical country is very different from Korea in terms of Climate. As Korea is known for having Four Seasons which are the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. I wanna experience all these! Mesmerize with the beauty of fully bloomed flowers during spring while the golden, red, yellow leaves during Fall then seeing and playing with snow at winter. I wanna compared the heatness of summer as Philippines our country is known for very hot weather even it is not summer we are really fighting the heat almost everyday. One of my bucketlist too is to stand in between Damyang Metasequoia-lined Road which offers beautiful scenery in every season just like the picture below!


Next, is to visit this Architectural modern design of Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) with LED Rose Garden. In Incheon Songdo International City they also have LED Rose Garden now too.


Up to my list is the Filming Locations of Korean Dramas that captured my heart. Just like the bamboo forest in Gyeonggijeon Shrine and Jeonju Hyanggyo Confucian school from the Drama Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. From the drama Moonlovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo the two below Cheonjuho Lake and Baekje Cultural Land.


Learn more about Korean History at Gwanghwamun Square! With King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun-Shin then Bukaksan Mountain at the background!


Visit K-Style Hub for tourists information, hallyu experince and hansik exhibition! Learn Korean culture! They actually have more activities offered right now and it is all FREE!


My Dream to visit my favorite Entertainment! YG Building, YG Republique, All that YG! <3  I am not just a big fan of Korea, Korea Tourism but also YG Entertainment!


Ride a cable car, Have my own Lovelocks, Dine in a revolving restaurant, capture the panoramic view of Seoul! This was actually my first love ever! N Seoul Tower! One of my greatest dream!
