Added a little lock for the boys and us as a family 🥲 @natevandyken I have to give you credit totally your idea. We are locked for life in Seoul with our boys and each other. 🥺 Finally home, super jet lagged. I have no concept of time but I’m so happy I did this, signings are amazing but being with readers like this was next level. I feel like I’m not isolated. Like it’s not about sales or reach but being home with a family who just loves reading and it centered me in a way I didn’t know I needed. I could go on and on, but thank you to the fifteen people who reminded me of why I do what I do. Brb gonna go cry now. #koreatrip #readerlove #family
“And that’s how I met your mother…” My dad in college dating my mom while, wait for it, opening up for some big bands in Seattle back in the day. Is this not the epitome of rockstar romance? Love it!
Two Twirls, always Two Twirls. Matching Eagle Elite matching tattoos ❤️💋 #koreatrip #readertrip #filming
Our guide was like oh hey you can go to lunch here or walk here or pay 7$ to get a drink and sit in a foot spa for 30 minutes watching the waves. Immediately we were all like yes, that option please. It’s absolutely stunning here, don’t worry we will be coming back ❤️ #koreatrip #busan #southkoreatravel #rachelvandyken #influencertrip #trovatrip #bookstagram
Sat on the J at Seoul Forest with @aslanssong and also saw all the BTS members benches plus more groups. There was a lot of screaming and crying this morning @smtown 😂 I filmed it all! #jhope #kpop #bts #koreatrip
Let’s gooooo! I know several of you leave in a day me included. Cannot wait to be with everyone overseas. Might be the coolest thing I’ve ever done as an author. Ps your goody bags and face masks will be ready for you when you land. ❤️ I mean, along with the Soju. Thank you so much @trovatrip we are going to have a blast being total nerds in the library!
At least 10 of us are getting tattoos before the trip officially kicks off tonight.
We hooked up our love lock with our boys ❤️

Happy Birthday to Grandma Nadine. Yesterday was a wonderful day. I’ll post pics of our tribute later. We had some who wore leopard, her merch shirts, and more. Thank you for honoring her, knowing full well she would have been with us if she could but she was def here in spirit!
Saddest book I’ve ever written…Elude #mafiaromance #bookstagram #eagleelite
Me and Paige lived our best lives today at the Buddhist temple. I’m pretty sure we sprinted around ❤️ honest moment it was wonderful to have time with her because we haven’t been able to yet. ❤️ we also wrote without knowing, the same wishes on our candles and are both born in the year of the Ox, some might say we are meant to be 🥹
Not gonna lie, I really, really want to write whatever book this is. Mermaid? Star crossed lovers? Historical? Alien? Hmmmmm I’m leaning towards… 👀 #bookstagram #bookideas #rachelvandyken
Couldn’t get in to get my hair done, panicked knew my hair dude (shout out to @jake0ff ) would be busy and my other girl @mykalaandco was also booked so here I am experiencing new things, don’t worry guys not cheating on you 😂 @kelci.jbstylbr is filling in and killing it for my trip overseas this week! @natevandyken was like listen get your hair done you’ll feel better. And I do. Also wine was served so theirs that.
Thank you Colette!! Love my @ateez_official_ socks, perfect way for us to start our trip from Seattle to Seoul! I’m so thankful to be traveling with my readers and I’m loving your confessional videos already for filming! 😂 Let’s have the time of our lives and make the best documentary ever! 🍷 Seoul isn’t ready for us!
@thoughts.by.aaron is my hero! Who knew over a decade ago we’d still be connecting and that while I go to Korea you fly in from Vietnam with your fam and house sit naked Stan! That sounded better in my head. I’m jet laggged, but this is gold! #sphynxcat_insta #rachelvandyken #friendshipgoals
I don’t even know how to post this bc I was laughing too hard but, simple explanation. Mikey was flying over the field and the nephew and husband decided to dress up to surprise him but had difficulties with the costumes. I had to leave bc I couldn’t stop laughing after doing another 4 min video 😂
Fun afternoon @seoultower_namsan so many stairs! But the first clear day we’ve had! #seoultower #southkoreatrip #rachelvandyken
Currently finished filming in front of foreigner bar in Busan. The table tennis worlds are happening right now. So far I’ve seen Croatia, Hungary, and I think it was Germany? It’s crazy just people watching. Also, they are all at our hotel. Gotta get some pointers.
How we do in Korea ❤️ the interviews for our producer have commenced!
The king has arrived. @tyler_rabe_bgd has been crowned. He’s also ready to fight for his rule.
@chunnyun.jazz thanks for this epic surprise as we end our trip in Korea. We were aimlessly wandering after dinner saw jazz wanted a final drink and stumbled across this. And from a family full of musicians, on top of us filming a documentary, I’m not sure we could have done better. ❤️❤️❤️
#swt wrote a kpop book series included @coletabedi on book two (she nailed it and used her producer experience with the reality show the idols go through), and now @bigsmiles_mikey is showing off the merch. Headed to Korea in a 2 weeks with readers to give the full kpop/kdrama experience. Can’t wait! #kpop #kdrama #fyp #booksragram #kpopromance #allkpop
