How programming helped my trip to South Korea

A while ago, I traveled to South Korea! Honestly, I wouldn’t be as pumped if it weren’t for my programming skills. Here’s how coding is making my trip so much smoother:

1. Language Barrier? No Problem! I’ve got this sweet app that translates Korean signs in real-time. No more guessing games with menus or street signs.
2. Personalized Itinerary: With a little Python is possible to organize my itinerary. It pulls in the best spots to visit based on my interests and even checks the weather forecast to suggest the best days for each activity. Hello, efficient sightseeing!
3. Travel Budget Tracker: Using a quick app I can keep tabs on my spending. No more end-of-trip panic attacks about where all my money went.
4. Local Recommendations: It is possible to set up a bot to scrape local blogs and forums for hidden gems that tourists usually miss. Authentic experiences, here I come!

Exploring Seoul’s tech markets, hiking in Seoraksan, and chilling in Busan’s beaches—all thanks to some handy programming. Tech skills for the win!
