Book Introduction
A guidebook for independent overseas travel with author Noh Mi-kyung, who has traveled to 150 countries around the world.

"Travel the World with Just a Smartphone" is an overseas independent travel guidebook that teaches you how to travel with just a smartphone, without a travel agency, guide, or foreign language skills.
This book is for those who want to travel independently, alone, with family, or in small groups, rather than on a group package tour in the post-corona era.
Those who have always wanted to enjoy a leisurely trip abroad, taking it easy, enjoying tea at a nice cafe, and doing some shopping, but were hesitant because of the language barrier, no longer need to hesitate.
From seniors who have spent their youth working their entire lives to busy office workers, smart working techniques can help them easily handle important tasks even from overseas.

Publisher's Review
Smartphone Utilization Books by, for, and about the Phone Illiterate

Not only overseas travel, but also domestic travel, restaurant exploration, business trips, workations, and even video production!
A tightly packed, all-purpose guidebook


This book details everything the author experienced while traveling alone in an era before smartphones, from the inconveniences he encountered to the most important aspect of safety, and everything from preparing for a trip to afterward, all in one book.
It consists of six chapters and two appendices.
Chapters 1 and 2 provide a comprehensive overview of travel and tourism, which has changed since COVID-19, as well as the functions and development process of smartphones, which have now become part of our internal organs.
From Chapter 3, the real journey using smartphones begins.
Chapters 3 and 4 introduce the travel preparation process, detailing how to plan a trip and what to prepare in advance before traveling.
Chapter 5 introduces practical smartphone usage tips for travelers, such as finding accommodations or ordering food at local restaurants.
Finally, Chapter 6 introduces ways to use your smartphone after your trip, such as making simple videos with it.
There is also an appendix for vacation travelers, so it will be useful for office workers who have to work while traveling.

In the future, we will enter the era of '3-free travel', where you can travel abroad without any inconvenience, without a travel agency, guide, or foreign language skills, as long as you have a smartphone.
You can use Google Maps to find your own way around, and use Google Translate to communicate with locals in Korean.
You can even create a video by adding music that matches the characteristics of the place you visited to photos taken at your travel destination, and watch it with family or friends whenever you want.
The enjoyment of the trip will be doubled if you can mirror the video you created on a large TV or beam projector.
If you've been using your smart and convenient smartphone solely for calls and texts, it's time to learn how to do it properly.
