You\u2019re planning a trip to South Korea? That is a brilliant, brilliant move. Get ready for a country that will blow your mind. One minute you\u2019re wandering through a serene, ancient palace in Seoul, the next you\u2019re swept up in the neon glow of a K-Pop video playing on a massive screen. The food is incredible, the people are lovely, and the whole place just buzzes with this cool, futuristic energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re going to have an amazing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before you start mapping out your Korean BBQ strategy, let’s talk about one little bit of travel admin that can save you a surprising amount of time and money. Your phone. I know, it’s the boring bit, but stick with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a mate who went to Japan last year. He landed at the airport, tired after the long flight, and figured he\u2019d just sort out a local SIM card there. An hour and a half later, he was still in a queue, trying to figure out which data plan made sense, filling out forms. An hour and a half of his precious holiday time, gone, just like that. In a stuffy airport hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s time you could be spending finding your hotel, grabbing your first delicious bite to eat, or just starting to explore. It\u2019s a classic travel time-sink. And that\u2019s before we even talk about the money side of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
