How we started

No money,
and stuck.

Our bank account was light back then, and staying still felt like sinking further. So we went to the cheapest sea we could reach. Gangneung.

It wasn't a grand trip. We just listened to the waves, and somehow we could breathe again. That one day carried us.

So we made this: a full, worthwhile day for anyone who feels stuck and short on cash, so they can go without worry and breathe the same air. We check every place ourselves, every time we go.

From GILDAMTravel, the road that becomes a story

Checked, one place at a time

Has the fee changed? Is it shut on Mondays? When is the last train? Every number in the guide carries the date we checked it, and we correct it when something changes.
