Seoul Survival is a multimedia heavy guidebook.
You didn’t think travel guides could be entertaining, funny and helpful did you? Neither did we, so we went ahead and broke the mold.
Streamline your experience and save money
Follow the many Survival Tips which are chiseled out of the real life knowledge and experience of locals and expats. Learn Korean by associating it with ridiculous illustrations. Avoid making the mistakes we made by reading about them and laughing at our ineptness.
KA-POW! Origin Story!!
Before we moved to Korea, we spent countless hours scouring the internet for useful information. As anyone who has done research before traveling, there is some good stuff out there but sifting through all the unnecessary noise is time-consuming. We also purchased traditional guidebooks, big heavy bricks full of out-of-date, dry information with no personality. We used probably about seven pages worth of those massive guides. What a waste of precious weight when traveling. In spite of this, we still made a lot of rookie mistakes when we first arrived. That’s why we created this guide. A practical guide that gives you what you need to know, instead of everything you don’t.
