UPDATE! Our Korea trip has SOLD OUT! But good news - we are also going to JAPAN (May 24-31, 2026) - so check out our JAPAN trip if you are itching for a trip to Asia... ❤️

After the sold-out Vegan Adventures in Korea last October, we're delighted to bring you another opportunity to explore this beautiful country, the vegan way! Join Rose (@CheapLazyVegan), who is originally from South Korea, on this 9-day adventure that offers the perfect blend of Korean culture and history! Of course, all the food is VEGAN, including popular, hard-to-find Korean dishes.

We'll start in  Seoul, visiting iconic landmarks like Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village and vibrant Insadong.

Next, we'll head to Busan via the famous KTX train to visit cultural hotspots like Gamcheon Culture Village and Yonggunsa Temple, plus a relaxing yacht tour at Gwangalli beach.

We'll stay at a beautiful Buddhist temple (Haeinsa) for a two-day peaceful immersion in Buddhist traditions before heading to Gyeongju, the "museum without walls," to visit famous sites like Bulguksa Temple Donggung and Wolji.

We'll end back in Seoul to explore trendy Gangnam, and a chance to make your own vegan kimchi before our farewell dinner. This is one of our most inclusive trips meaning ALL meals are included!
