Dear Ashu,

Hope this finds you are in tip-top shape! I’am beyond excited to share my vacation experience with you. Last week, i spent holiday with my family.

I went to Jeju island which is the most popular and beautiful holiday destination in whole korea. The natural scenery was breathtaking from the stunning waterfalls even the beaches looked so mesmerizing to refresh my mind and become peaceful. I also had the chance to visit Hallasan mountain which was unforgettable moment for me.

One of the most memorable parts of the trip was visiting a perfume store. There were many varieties of perfume in the store. I got chanced to learn how to make a perfume and bring it to my home. I also tried horseback riding for the first time, which was both thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking!

The scenary helped to make refresh my mind from the hustle bustle and trip really enjoyable with the family because it was my first vacation spent with my family. Next year, I’m now thinking about planning more nature-based trips in the future.

Let’s catch up soon. I had love to tell you more and show you some photos.

Warm wishes,priya
