What to Pack for a Month in Korea (And What to Leave Behind)
Packing for a 7-day trip is easy. Packing for a 1-month stay is an art form.
You want to be prepared, but you don't want to drag two giant suitcases across the Seoul subway (trust us, there are a lot of stairs).
Here is your smart packing guide for a mid-to-long term stay in Korea.
✅ What You MUST Bring
Travel Adapter (Type C/F): Korea uses the two-round-pin plugs (220V). Bring a universal adapter.
Deodorant: Surprisingly hard to find! Korean stores have a very limited selection of deodorants. Bring your preferred brand.
Comfortable Walking Shoes: You will walk a lot. Seoul is hilly and vast. Leave the high heels at home.
Prescription Meds: Bring enough for your whole stay. Some foreign medicines are not available here.
❌ What You Can BUY Here (Don't Pack)
Skincare & Shampoo: Korea is the beauty capital of the world (K-Beauty). Olive Young is on every corner. Buy it here; it's better and cheaper.
Sanitary Products: Readily available at any convenience store.
Umbrella: Cheap and high quality here.
Travel Light, Live comfortable.
By choosing a fully furnished rental, you can travel with just a carry-on and save space for souvenirs.
Fully Furnished: Bed, desk, fridge, washer—it's all there.
Just Move In: Arrive, drop your bag, and start living.
