Mun Ka Young Shares Her Number One Travel Tip

The South Korean actress shares why jet-setting to any part of the world comes easy with TUMI’s Fall 2024 collection

In the last six months, actress Mun Ka Young has been traveling to and from South Korea to countries like Iceland, Italy, and Singapore. A scroll through her Instagram account gives a glimpse into these adventures, filled with European landscapes, picturesque buildings, and delightful stops at charming ice cream shops, catering to her known sweet tooth.

In a recent interview, the 28-year-old actress shared one of her best travel secrets: creating a detailed to-do packing list. “I’m the type of person who needs to write down everything and have a list on my memo of what to pack. It is very time-efficient,” shares Mun. “The fact that I can plan ahead and make sure that everything is packed for my trip makes me happy, relieved, and comfortable.”

For Mun, organization is not just a convenience, it’s a form of mental and emotional well-being. Her commitment to detailed planning and the joy she derives from it is evident throughout her travels, down to her travel gear.

The Interest of Love actress reaffirms this as she stars in the Fall 2024 campaign of international travel and lifestyle brand TUMI, debuting the Voyageur Leather and 19 Degree Frame collections. “For me, the balance of life is important. That’s why I think TUMI’s DNA and myself are aligned,” explains Mun.
