BEFORE YOU BOOK
A theme is not a reservation
- Confirm the exact dates, city and return transport before paying, and check the return is short enough for whoever will want to leave first.
- Save one seated, indoor or lower-effort option in the same district. Stairs, heat and queues decide this trip far more than the attraction does.
- Store Korean place names and a public meeting landmark. Keep medication lists, health details, accommodation and booking codes out of public posts.
CARE & PRIVACY
What a good itinerary protects
- Carry essential medication with the traveler who needs it and keep a written generic name; do not put it in a shared checked bag.
- Verify accessible entrances, lifts, toilets, rentals and seating with the exact venue; an accessibility icon is discovery help, not a guarantee.
- Build in a no-explanation rest block. A paid ticket is not a reason to continue when someone is tired or unwell.

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.
