What if I haven't planned anything yet?
That's the best time to call. Come with a date range and a vague idea. Alo will help you build from there instead of unpicking someone else's itinerary.
Going to Korea? Let a local plan it with you.
Tell Alo what you want to see, eat, and experience in a 30-minute call. He'll turn it into a personal Korea trip plan, so you can stop spending hours piecing it together yourself.
You've done the research.
- You've saved the videos.
- Bookmarked the restaurants.
- Pinned places all over Google Maps.
And somehow, you still don't know how to fit it all into one trip.
What Google will not tell you
Ask the questions you'd ask a friend who lives in Korea.
The hard part isn't finding places. It's knowing which ones are actually worth your time. Ask Alo about the neighborhood you're considering, the hotel that looks too good to be true, or the restaurant you're not sure about. He'll give you an honest answer before you make the decision.
- Which neighborhoods stay lively and walkable after dark, and which ones he'd tell his own sister to skip.
- Which stay actually matches the photos, and which one you'd regret booking for a family.
- Where to eat when the menu is only in Korean and nobody at the table reads it.
- What's changed since the blog post you bookmarked. Korea moves fast.
Traveling with kids, parents, or a group? Tell Alo who's coming, and he'll help you plan days that work for short legs and long wish lists.
Meet Alo
See if he feels like your person.
Press play. This is how Alo talks. Clear English, honest opinions, and real curiosity about your trip.
He grew up in Korea and still lives there. The neighborhoods you've been comparing at midnight are the ones he walks through on a Tuesday, and he has an opinion about every one of them.
- Born and raised in Korea. Still lives there. This isn't nostalgia. It's where he was last week.
- His everyday life is in Korean. Your call is in clear English. No awkward translation lag.
- 236,000 Instagram followers and 265,000 TikTok followers trust Alo to show them the Korea that doesn't make the guidebooks.
“He's very efficient, but he's also very human, and he brings in his small life anecdotes.”

Common questions
Before you book.
Is this only for solo travelers?
No. Couples, families, friend groups. Same call. If you're planning for more than yourself, Alo adjusts for what works when kids, parents, or friends are in the mix.
How current is the information?
Alo lives in Korea right now. If a neighborhood changed last month, a restaurant closed last week, or a new transit line opened yesterday, he knows. This isn't research. He lives it.
What happens after I pay?
The next screen is Alo's calendar. Pick your time, then answer a few short questions about your trip so he starts already knowing it. Alo emails your written plan within two business days after the call.

One payment covers both the call and the brief.
Thirty minutes with Alo. Then he does the work.
Half an hour, camera on, nothing off limits. Come with whatever you have, even if it's a date and a vague feeling. You don't need to spend hours turning saved posts into a trip. Alo does that part for you. After the call, he builds your personal trip plan and emails it within two business days. It isn't a recap.
What Alo sends after
- Alo's honest take on every stay and neighborhood you discussed
- A book-it, change-it, or skip-it list
- Korean names, map links, and useful links ready for your phone
- Anything he promised to look up, looked up and sent
