BEFORE YOU BOOK

A theme is not a reservation

  • Confirm the exact dates, city and return transport before paying, and confirm who controls each location and what gear is allowed. A permitted photograph is not a permitted tripod.
  • Save one indoor or lower-effort option in the same district. Light fails more reliably than plans do, and a covered subject beats a crossed city.
  • Store Korean place names and a public meeting landmark. Faces, homes, workers and worshippers need consent before you publish them, and your own accommodation and booking code need no publishing at all.

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.

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.
