FAQ

Frequently asked questions

South Korea is one of the safest countries in the world, with Seoul consistently ranked among the top safest cities globally. Whether in bustling urban areas or quiet neighborhoods, you can feel secure while exploring the rich culture and vibrant life of Korea.

The cost of the trip is divided into two payments. First, you pay the application fee to reserve your spot on your chosen course. The remaining balance is due by the application deadline. If you would like to split up the payments even further please contact us directly to discuss. We accept payments by debit card, credit card, or PayPal. Please note that debit card, credit card, or PayPal payments are subject to an additional 4.5% fee. You can also pay by international bank transfer. For the bank transfer be sure to check the currency and include any fees before you make a transfer.

Spring is one of the most popular times to visit Korea, with stunning cherry blossoms and pleasant weather. Autumn is also a favorite, offering warm, comfortable temperatures and vibrant autumn foliage. Winter, though cold, provides excellent conditions for winter sports and captivating snow festivals. In the summer months, despite the heat and occasional rain, tourist areas are generally less crowded, and there are numerous lively festivals and fireworks displays to enjoy.

There are many countries and regions that have visa exemption arrangements with Korea. This allows nationals to enter Korea without the need of a visa for short stays. For more information about the period of stay allowed and whether your country is exempt, please get in contact with us.

Yes, there are plenty of vegetarian options in Korea, but it’s important to do some research before arriving, as not all restaurants cater to vegetarians. Common ingredients like kimchi and various broths, such as dashima (kelp) or myeolchi yuksu (anchovy broth), are often used in everyday cooking and may not be vegetarian. It’s helpful to learn a few key phrases in Korean or have a translation app ready to ensure your dietary needs are met.

Yes, you can use your mobile phone in South Korea, be sure to turn data roaming off if you want to avoid hefty fees from your provider back home. Internet is not widely available in public spaces, so that’s why we include a SIM card (Gold Plan only), which includes data, voice and messaging. For those who do not select the Gold Plan, it’s possible to order the SIM card when completing the application for the chosen trip.

We have our own highly knowledgable, qualified, multilingual and multinational local staff who act as guides, translate, and provide general support during the trip to ensure everyone has the best possible experience.

Travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of traveling, participants are required to get their own travel/health insurance that covers the full length of their chosen trip. Proof of travel insurance is required prior to joining the trip. Your Study Trip Coordinator will advise you at which point the documents should be provided.

Meals are typically not included unless noted on the course page or as part of an activity, like the Korean BBQ dinner. Please ask our staff if you have questions about your specific course.

Most major international credit, debit, and even some pre-paid cards are accepted in Korea. But note that some smaller businesses only accept cash in local currency.

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Step 1: Choose a trip! (Of course we’ll help you with any questions you have) Book your spot by choosing your options and paying the application fee. Once you’ve completed this step, your spot will be secured!

Step 2: Nearly there! Next, you’ll have to pay the remaining fees. Don’t worry as long as it’s by the deadline for your chosen course, you’re good! We’ll also ask for some extra information. Then we can do the work behind the scenes and get everything booked!

Step 3: Finally, there’s just one last thing…..Your flights! Once the deadline has closed, get those flights locked in and you’ll be at your destination in no time! That’s it! You’re done! Now you just have to pack (we can always help with some seasonal suggestions), fly and the most important thing is to have fun!

We try to make our courses as accessible as possible, however as the activities take place in a variety of locations, this can largely depend on the activity itself. Although we are unable to provide any special assistance but will accommodate you where possible. We recommend contacting us to discuss the course that you are interested in to see what we can do. Please note that we will require information on all disabilities both seen, unseen and mental illnesses prior to attendance of the course as part of our standard procedure. Our standard cancellation policy applies in cases of sudden injury or disability.

The flights are not included in the course cost but everything else is. This is to allow as much flexibility as possible for your trip. You can choose how, when and where you arrive and depart from so that you can add extra fun times to either end if you want. Perhaps explore more of the city you’re in or even more of the country! Once you reach us at the start of the trip, we take over and show you where you need to be and what you need to do so you don’t have to worry about anything else.

For most of our courses, we can accommodate all levels of language skill and we’ll ask you for details on the booking form. However, we would recommend checking the individual course pages for details and to get in touch with us to discuss your needs.
