Overview
The name Full Course was inspired by a popular saying among locals in Busan, South Korea: “I’ll serve you as a full course when you come.” This phrase is often used when they welcome friends from out of town. The idea stems from the thought, What if locals shared their own travel routes? These personalized recommendations could offer a richer, more authentic experience than simply relying on blogs or YouTube videos.

Challenges Faced by Travelers
Challenges Faced by Travelers
Travelers or travel lovers seek to explore new destinations and uncover meaningful experiences. When planning a trip, they carefully consider various factors such as routes, dining options, and travel themes to craft the perfect itinerary.
However, planning a trip can be time-consuming and overwhelming. Gathering useful information, deciding where to go (and where not to), and putting together a complete itinerary take lots of effort. Additionally, filtering through content to determine whether it’s based on genuine personal experiences can be stressful.

Locals' curation
When visiting friends in a different city, we don’t worry about planning schedules or figuring out how to spend our time meaningfully and efficiently—they take the lead, showing us where to go and recommending what to do.
Instead of spending time and effort crafting a travel plan on your own, it can be more efficient to find locals who share similar tastes and live in your desired destination on the platform and follow their curated guides that fit your interests.
