Real situations

Sound familiar?

The moments our mates handle every day.

New Expat · ARC Registration

I have to register my ARC but I have no idea where to go or what documents to bring 😥

Your buddy meets you at the immigration office, handles all Korean communication with the officer, checks your documents, and stays until registration is complete ✅

Medical Visit · Hospital Companion

I need to see a specialist but I'm scared I won't be able to explain my symptoms properly 🥲

We accompany you to the clinic, interpret between you and the doctor in real time, and help you understand the prescription and follow-up 💊

Moving In · Lease Contract

My landlord sent me a lease contract in Korean. I have no idea what I'm signing 😰

Your buddy reviews the contract with you online, flags unusual clauses, and if needed comes in-person when you sign 📝

Business Visitor · Daily Errands

I'm here for a week. I need a SIM card, to open a bank account, and find a good tailor 🧵

Book a Full-Day In-Person Companion and tick off everything in one go. Your buddy handles Korean at every stop.

Shopping Buddy · Local Insider

I heard locals know secret shopping spots. I don't want to overpay at the tourist traps 🛍️

From insider shopping spots to negotiation in Korean — your buddy gets you the real local prices, not the foreigner markup.

Business Trip · Free Half-Day

I'm on a business trip and suddenly have half a day free. Can someone quickly show me 1–2 places nearby? ⏰

Your buddy puts together a realistic plan on the spot and meets you to show you 1–2 highlights nearby — no research needed.

Family Concierge · Kids Visiting Alone

We're sending our kids to Korea on their own. We just want a trusted local adult to check in on them 👨‍👩‍👧
