Hi Ail,

Thanks for reading my website on Travelling in Korea. For the question that you have regarding dates on Autumn leaves timings, it is difficult to predict actual timing for Autumn leaves, however if the weather patterns are similar to 2023 (warmer September and October), you can expect the Autumn foliage date to start in mid October and peak in the end of October for those places.

We’ll keep the website updated with official forecast nearer to September, and hope you manage to catch the spectacular Autumn foliage during your visit!

Hi Stephen, thank you for reading our post and kind words. Unfortunately we don’t currently have an email list, we’ll get to it soon, and will definitely add you when that is ready.

Yes, having your children when travelling is challenging if you must take public transport all the time. There are many car rental companies that service the Incheon airport area. Please see these links, all of them offer plenty of options from Incheon Airport that you can compare and book from:

• EconomyBookings
• Rentcars.com
• Klook

It will take some getting used to, I’ve driven in Korea myself, and it really took me about 2 days on the road to feel comfortable. I think take some extra time in the beginning to get used to the rules, and the different driving side, and you should be good to go.

Drive safe and enjoy Korea!

Thank you so much Asher for the compliments, we’ll continue to write good recommendations based on our own personal experience.

Hi, thanks for reading and commenting. Yes, it’ll all make sense in Seoul and it’s not hard to setup the WOWPASS and start using it. In answer to your question, you need to load the card up with cash (you can use foreign currency or Korean won).

You can’t add money with a credit card. This is the same as the T-Money card and other Korean transportation cards. It’s not like the Wise card in that sense and doesn’t offer international banking like Wise does, but WOWPASS is easier to set up and use when you travel to Korea.

Hope that helps, Joel.

I’ve some questions, can I transfer money from my credit card when I want to TOP UP to WOWPASS account or I don’t have a choice but to just top up with CASH (any currency) at the kiosk machine?

So it does not work like WISE card?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, glad you found it useful. I’ve looked at hiking that course myself and I definitely plan to do it one day when I have some free time. Hope you can complete it successfully. I’ve done research for it in the past and found this website useful – https://www.durunubi.kr/eng/koreatrail-introduction.do.
