Gayita Korea Travel publishes practical, English-language guides for people who travel in Korea and for foreigners who live here.
What we cover
Korea is easy to enjoy once you know how the small things work — which app actually gives you the right bus, how to reserve a KTX seat without a Korean phone number, what documents a district office asks for. Those details are rarely written down in English in one place. That is the gap this site exists to fill.
- Living in Korea — registration, banking, phone plans, health insurance, housing, childcare and schools, taxes, driving
- Getting around — KTX and express buses, ferries to the islands, maps and transport apps
- Trips from the city — day trips and two-day itineraries you can do without a car
How these guides are written
Every guide is checked against primary Korean sources before it is published — government service sites, transport operators such as Korail and the express bus booking system, city and provincial tourism offices, and official park or venue pages. Prices, opening hours and required documents change often in Korea, so each guide states the date it reflects.
If you find something that has changed or is wrong, please tell us. Corrections are made quickly, and they are the most useful message we receive.
Who runs this site
This site is written and edited by a Korean travel writer who also publishes travel blogs in Korean. Living here and writing about travel full time is what makes it possible to keep checking the small, boring details that matter most to a visitor or a new resident.
