Bikepacking across South Korea

(*useful info below*) I cycled from Seoul (Incheon) to Busan in 6 straight days, making approx 105km a day. This happened between 22-27 May 2022, shortly after South Korea reopened its borders to visitors.

Where I rented the bike:
Green Bike Park. 19 Itaewon-ro 20-gil, 용산구 Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It’s ok, but make sure you choose a comfortable bike suitable for elevation. They also transferred the bike from Busan back to Seoul.

Where I bought the cycling passport and some accessories:
Bike Nara (Giant). 414-1 Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Day 1: Dream Gungjeon Motel (1649-2 Gyeonggang-ro, Yangpyeong-eup, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do). 40,000KRW/night. An ok option.
