BEFORE YOU BOOK

A theme is not a reservation

  • Confirm the exact dates, city and return transport before paying; a theme is not a reservation.
  • Save one lower-effort or indoor fallback in the same district instead of crossing the city when the group is tired or weather changes.
  • Store Korean place names and public meeting landmarks, but never publish a live accommodation, child's identity, passport or booking code.

CARE & PRIVACY

What a good itinerary protects

  • Ask before photographing identifiable people, children, worshippers, residents, performers or workers; an open street is not blanket consent.
  • Tripods, flash, drones and commercial filming follow each site's rules. Never block circulation or move beyond a barrier for a cleaner frame.
  • Use the legal drone process and designated space; do not infer flight permission from another person's clip.

DEVICE-ONLY TRIP SHAPE

Plan the real party, not a travel stereotype

No birth dates, child names, medical details or accommodation address. Save only the pace and facilities the party needs.

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.
