I will plan your korea trip like a local friend
About this Gig
I'm a native Korean living in Seoul and planning trips is something I've always done, for myself and for everyone who'd let me.
Most Korea travel guides will point you to Gyeongbokgung and Myeongdong street food. You already know those. What I do is different. The restaurant with no English menu where the grandmother has been making the same soup for 30 years. The neighborhood that hasn't been discovered yet. The table that isn't on any app I know how to get you there.
I handle everything. Itinerary, reservations, routing, the no-English restaurants that take a phone call to book. You show up and enjoy the trip. That's the whole idea.
I've planned practically every trip I've been on. I know Seoul deep, but also Busan, Gangneung, Jeju, and further. One wrong turn on a coastal road once led me to catching crab off the rocks and frying it for dinner on the spot. That's the version of Korea I want to show you.
If you want a trip you'll talk about for years, let's build it.

FAQ
How far in advance should I book?
3–4 weeks before your trip is ideal; popular restaurants in Seoul open reservations on fixed cycles. Less than 10 days out? Message me first — I’ll tell you honestly what’s still possible.
Do you only do Seoul?
Planning and booking: all of Korea. The welcome dinner: Seoul only (for now).
Families? Solo travelers? Groups?
All fine. Pricing scales per person past two; groups over 6, message me first.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
Use it! It’s decent at lists. It can’t call the restaurant, doesn’t know the place changed owners in March, and won’t answer you at 9pm when it’s raining and your plan just died. That part is me.
What languages?
English and Korean.
