One of the toughest parts about living in a new city, especially if you are in a different country, is understanding the various transportation systems. Not only can maps be in a different language, but you may be unaware about what are the most cost effective and efficient options to get you from point A to point B.

In my blog I will talk about all the modes of transportation in Korea, including everything from taking a train to utilizing Kakao T.
