BEFORE YOU BOOK

A theme is not a reservation

  • Confirm the exact dates, city and return transport before paying. A romantic route is a suggestion; the reservation is the only thing that actually holds a table or a room.
  • Two people tire at different rates. Save one indoor or lower-effort option in the same district so the slower day does not turn into a negotiation across the city.
  • Store Korean place names and a public meeting landmark, and agree in advance what gets posted. Never publish a live accommodation, a booking code or the other person's plans without asking.

CARE & PRIVACY

What a good itinerary protects

  • Consent applies to photographs, spending, alcohol, location sharing and public posts throughout the trip.
  • Keep independent access to money, identification and a safe return route.
  • A date route also works for friends or solo travelers; no venue guarantees intimacy or a special moment.

AFTER THE TRIP

Record the condition that worked, not the travel label

Place, visit date, walking load, queue, access, meal and return are more useful than a label. Keep sensitive details private.
