The Solo Traveler's Haven Korea is one of the safest countries in the world for solo travelers, including women. However, the dining culture can sometimes be a challenge since many dishes are meant for sharing.

Solo Dining (Hon-bap) While BBQ is usually for 2+ people, more restaurants are adding solo-dining seats. Look for **'Hon-bap' (혼밥)** friendly spots or visit 'Hansik Buffets' where you pay a flat fee and eat alone. Most noodle shops and soup places are perfectly fine for solo diners.

Staying Safe at Night Korea is very safe even after midnight. Streets are well-lit and CCTV is everywhere. If you ever feel uncomfortable, head into a 24-hour convenience store—they are everywhere and always staffed.

Joining Meetups If you want company, use apps like **Meetup** or join a **'Seoul Walking Tour'** provided for free by the city government. It's a great way to meet fellow travelers while learning about the city.
