Join Noona’s Noonchi on an unforgettable healing journey across South Korea, rooted in wellness and mental health, that takes you to iconic filming locations and authentic K-Culture experiences in the cities that have inspired all your favorite K-Dramas.
Our tours are crafted to offer you more than just sightseeing, with sessions such as facilitated mindful sharing in the spirit of jeong (정) and a guided mindfulness meditation session halfway through the tour, led by Jeanie Chang, LMFT – mental health expert, executive coach, author, and founder of Noona’s Noonchi.
Highlights of the itinerary include a special dinner with a guest speaker and expert from the K-Content industry, where you’ll enjoy an intimate evening of insights, conversation, and connection with the people behind the stories you love. And, fun cosplays to live out your K-Drama dreams. We like to say, “A cosplay a day keeps the stress at bay.”
This is a fully all-inclusive experience, including all activities (entrance fees, etc), 4-star+ accommodations and all meals, except for two market or rest area stops where you’ll have the freedom to explore local flavors on your own.
Throughout it all, you’ll uncover the deep sense of belongingness and jeong (정) that defines Korean culture, and discover a little more about yourself along the way. And it doesn’t end there – you’ll leave with lifelong friendships – a signature of Noona’s Noonchi Tours!
