Discover Korea – My Personal Guide to Korea
If you’re planning a trip to South Korea, this app was made just for you.
I’ve been to Korea 3 times and spent 3 months there in total. From my first two trips, I selected over 240 trusted and unique places that are truly worth seeing. Now I’m adding several dozen more from my third trip, so the guide keeps growing.
This isn’t just an ordinary guide. It’s a collection of my personal recommendations, ready-made day plans, and practical tips I wish I had known before my first trip.
