Hello everyone, this is Rational Travel, a travel blogger who doesn’t do sponsored content and only tells the truth . Over the past five years, I’ve traveled to more than 10 countries and seen plenty of beautiful scenery, but I’ve also heard my share of horror stories.
Summer vacation is here, and it’s peak season for international travel. Everyone’s happily heading to Korea to eat fried chicken and follow their favorite stars, but did you know? Scam rings don’t take vacations either, and they specifically target tourists like us whose guard is down when we’re traveling abroad. Today, Rational Travel is going to share a real experience where I almost fell victim to a scam in Seoul, and teach you how to protect your wallet abroad so that your hard-earned travel money doesn’t become a scammer’s afternoon tea.
As usual, before I start the article, Rational Travel will introduce myself first, since not everyone knows who I am.
These kinds of real pitfall experiences won’t be re-sent to you. If you want to receive the next fraud prevention guide first, subscribing is the most hassle-free option.
Little reminder: Guides won’t be re-sent as backup, protecting the benefits of those already subscribed. Don’t want to miss out on the latest guides or deals? Subscribe now👉 Click here to subscribe to Rational Travel

Rational Travel’s Honest Take: Flight tickets and other money-saving tips are usually sent to subscribers first, and I only publish them publicly after some time. This way subscribers can take advantage early, since many of these deals are time-sensitive and quantity-limited. Of course I need to offer them to subscribers first!
If you’re used to buying and selling miles on Facebook groups or hunting down last-minute hotel deals, Rational Travel has recently created a ‘platform-managed, pay-after-use‘ Easy Ticket platform that’s now free for subscribers.
P.S. Subscribers not only get complete guides, but can also enjoy permanent commission-free status on Easy Ticket. It’s free right now, but who knows when I’ll start charging, so you know what to do. Current subscriber count is close to 2000 people (throwing confetti happily).
