Traveling with your mother is the new trend. Recently, a top star’s first travel program with her mother gained popularity, highlighting the growing trend of traveling with parents and family.
A trip to Jeju with your mother can be a chance to discover new aspects of each other and strengthen your relationship. Early summer in Jeju villages awaits mothers and daughters.
Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and Jeju Tourism Organization have revealed the “KaReum Choice Part 3: 5 Mother-Daughter Friendly Destinations in Jeju” on Visit Jeju’s promotional channels and the Kareum Stay website.
The “KaReum Choice” themed content series recommends unique experiences in Jeju villages. It is curated by the residents of “Kareum Stay,” a village travel brand.
In its third installment, “KaReum Choice” has previously introduced bridal shower friendship trips and bicycle tour spots and will continue to reveal new destinations monthly until September.
This is an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between mothers and daughters, which may have grown distant due to busy daily lives, and to reaffirm mutual understanding and deep affection. Here are five places in Jeju villages that offer such meaningful experiences:
1. Yeoreum Mungusa (Summer Stationery Store)
