Weekend Trip Essentials

As a forgetful yet anxious packer, these are some essentials I bring on weekend trips:

1. Passport

Remember that your US driver's license means nothing to Italian law enforcement officers, so bring your passport with you everywhere. You could be stopped and questioned for identification at any time when traveling, so keep it with you at all times. I’d also suggest getting a passport holder. I bought one on Amazon to keep my credit cards, cash, passport, and an AirTag all together while traveling.

Jeonju Trip!

As part of the IES Seoul Program, we did an overnight trip to Jeonju, a Hanok village in the Southwestern part of South Korea (a hanok village is a traditional Korean-style building). When we first got to Jeonju, we started off by getting lunch. The speciality food in Jeonju is bibimbap because it’s an agricultural area where a lot of vegetables and rice are grown. The meal was absolutely delicious! Then, we dressed up in hanbok, which is traditional Korean dress.
