INTERVIEW QUESTIONS 15

QUESTION 15:
How are domestic trips different from trips that you take overseas?
What are some good and bad things about domestic trips?
How can you overcome some bad aspects of domestic trips?

HOW TO ANSWER:
     Domestic trips require a lot less preparation than trips
overseas. You don't need to worry about taking your passport
or currency exchange, and you usually pack a lot less because
most domestic trips are short. They're great because you can
decide to go at the drop of a hat and they're cheaper on the
whole. On the flipside, some people might not find them as
exciting as trips overseas, like the saying goes the grass is
always greener on the other side. But if you look hard enough,
I think that every Korean city has some hidden treasures that
are worth visiting. It can be surprising just what you’II find off
the beaten track, so it’s a good idea to do some research on
tourist destinations that are not very well known. It’s easy to
have as much fun and excitement in Korea as you can by
travelling abroad.
