Not Your Typical Korea Trip

Who decides what we do?+

You and your Crew member decide together. It can change with the weather and how you feel that day, so deciding when you meet is part of the fun. If there is somewhere you want to go, just mention it beforehand.

How much does a day with a Crew member cost?+

Prices start at $25 an hour, with a 4-hour minimum. Most meetups cost around $120-160. We will confirm the exact amount once the date and time are set.

Why do I pay before we meet?+

Once we confirm your date and details in the chat, we assign your Crew and reserve that time just for you. We also open a group chat so you and your Crew can talk before the day. Paying in advance secures your booking and keeps that time reserved for you. If your plans change, you can still cancel. About 20% is kept to cover the booking and preparation already completed. The remaining amount is refunded depending on when you cancel: - 2 weeks or more before: 100% of the remaining amount - 1–2 weeks before: 50% of the remaining amount - Within 1 week: No refund PayPal fees are non-refundable. Please see our Terms for full details.

Can we meet for less than 4 hours?+

The minimum is 4 hours. Crew members also need time to travel to meet you, and anything shorter often ends just as you are getting comfortable.

Is this a dating service?+

No. It is more like spending a day with a friend, walking around, eating, and talking together.

How do I meet Korean friends in Seoul?+

Chat with the Crew member you choose, then set the date and time. That is it.

How can I spend a day in Seoul like a local?+

You could walk through Bukchon alleys, visit cafés in Seongsu, or stay out late in Hongdae. Your Crew member spends the day with you.

Where do Seoul locals actually eat?+

Try a gopchang alley, a late-night pojangmacha, or a hotteok stand. There is more to Seoul than the tourist spots in Myeongdong.

What are some hidden gems in Seoul?+

Try a hanok café in Ikseondong, a small bar in an Euljiro alley, Seochon, or the Han River area around Mangwondong.

Is Seoul safe for solo travel?+

Seoul is considered one of Asia's safer cities. Spending your first day with a local Crew member can help you settle in.
