Why you might need a South Korea travel agent, from a former local & expert

Are you overwhelmed trying to plan a trip to South Korea? I get it! Whether you’re dreaming of city adventures in Seoul and Busan, escapes to nature in Seokcho and Jeju, or historical escapades to Jeonju and Gyeongju, planning for your South Korea trip has become more complex than ever.

But the good news is that having the right support can take your trip from good to unforgettable. That’s where a South Korea travel agent (like me!) can make all the difference by customizing your South Korea itinerary, empowering you to travel with confidence and without stress.

Note: The titles “travel agent” and “travel advisor” are often interchangeable, and that’s the case in this blog. I call myself a travel advisor, but acknowledge that many people call us travel agents, so you’ll find both titles used in this blog.

Why work with a South Korea travel agent?

It’s easy to burn out when researching South Korea travel online with all the resources available to consume, from travel blogs and magazines to TikTok and YouTube videos. How often have you found yourself overwhelmed by falling into the travel research rabbit hole? I’m here to simplify the travel planning process for you as an expert in South Korea travel, so you can skip feeling overwhelmed.

South Korea is one of the most dynamic, fast-paced countries in Asia. From bustling cities to serene countryside escapes, there’s a lot to see and even more to plan. Understanding which places match your travel desires, the nuances of local culture, and the impacts of travel by season can make or break your experience.

If you want a thoughtfully planned, stress-free journey tailored exactly to your travel style, preferences, pace, budget, and more, a South Korea travel agent can help you do just that.

a stress-free custom vacation? I’m in!

My experience living in Korea

I’m Hallie, a travel advisor who specializes in custom travel planning services for Asia. I fell in love with South Korea when I lived in Seoul for three years teaching English. During that time, I explored every corner of the country, from the islands off the southern coast to the ski slopes of Gangwon-do.

Because I’ve experienced Korea both as a resident and a traveler, I can offer something that Google, AI, and generic travel agencies can’t: personal insight, real recommendations, and a network of vetted partners on the ground.

So, whether you want a custom K-pop and cafe tour in Seoul, a food-lover’s itinerary in Busan, or a solo-friendly trip full of temples and nature, I’ll create a custom itinerary tailored to you.

these might surprise you… usually, when you hea these might surprise you…

usually, when you hear about asia travel, you hear about japan and thailand. I LOVE those countries (have been to both twice), but the continent has so many underrated destinations that end up being really memorable because you don’t expect them to be as spectacular as they are

are any of these countries on your bucket list? if they aren’t… add them right now!

words that never get old: welcome to thailand 🥹 words that never get old: welcome to thailand 🥹🛺🇹🇭🏝️🐘🥭

thailand was the top country on my travel bucket list until I got to visit in 2023, and I went back earlier this year to spend a whole month there because I can’t get enough 💛 I’ll never check it off my bucket list because I could keep going back forever!! what country will you always keep traveling back to?

just want to say - I don’t support kanye west in any way shape or form, this is a trending audio and I had no idea it was him 👎

cinco de mayo has me itching to go back to mexico cinco de mayo has me itching to go back to mexico 🇲🇽🌵🥑🌶 🌮🌯

did you know that cinco de mayo celebrates mexico’s victory over the second french empire at the battle of puebla in 1862? 40% of americans don’t - they think it’s mexico’s independence day but it actually isn’t a federal holiday at all!

I coincidentally spent cinco de mayo in mexico a few years ago and our resort went all out for the celebrations, including mexico themed drinks and a mariachi band at dinner 🎸🍹

mexico is way more than pretty beaches and good food (although those are great) - from swimming in cenotes to visiting one of the wonders of the world, there’s so much to discover. I can’t wait for my next mexico trip!

this restaurant in luang prabang is set on its own this restaurant in luang prabang is set on its own private section of kuang si falls, complete with a private natural swimming pool and delicious food 🌿🦋🌊

WHERE
carpe diem restaurant at kuang si falls, luang prabang, laos - walking distance from the entrance of the falls

WHEN
open 9am-5pm every day

WHAT
a western lao fusion restaurant set above a private part of the famous turquoise blue kuang si falls. the falls are an extremely crowded tourist attraction (for good reason - they’re beautiful) so this is the perfect place to escape for lunch with a view, take a swim in a private natural swimming pool, and enjoy the falls without crowds

a top thing to do in luang prabang that almost no one knows about - save so you can visit this hidden gem on your laos trip & link in bio for my full luang prabang travel guide
