Senior & Solo travelers: The various areas of Jeju are diverse. Jeju City is a bustling crowded city, but the other areas feel more laid back. Jeju Island is known for its low crime rate, especially petty crimes such as pickpocketing and theft. It's a safe place where the locals are friendly and respectful. The terrain was also varied. There were coastal and volcano hikes that required some physical work; however, there was almost always a way to visit a site and not push your limits. I only hiked limited distances, but still enjoyed some magnificent views. If you have limited mobility, do a little research before you go to determine the best method for your travel.

It looks like an artist's paradise. I bet art workshops would do well there. Some could be for weeks!
