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

  • Meet new people only in a public staffed place; control your own transport and drink.
  • Use 112 for police, 119 for fire or medical emergencies, and 1330 for travel interpretation and ordinary travel help.
  • A solo-friendly label does not guarantee low crime, late transport or a one-person order at every business.

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.
