It was all in the simple things: going to bed at the same time each night, tweaking the temperature on my thermostat, rethinking my sleep position and – surprise! – learning I snore thanks to the Galaxy Watch. A couple of extra pillows later and I was steadily improving my Sleep Score with deep, uninterrupted rest. Thanks to the changes I made, it was the first time I arrived in a new country without feeling like I was walking through molasses.

Language Barriers? Not So Much

In a new country, the right tools make all the difference. I’d been practicing Korean through language learning apps for a few months prior to the trip, but getting around Seoul by myself was a little intimidating at first. Hailing a cab was easy, but pronouncing directions or street names was a challenge. Galaxy AI’s Live Translate tools, especially Listening and Conversation Mode, made communication not just possible, but genuinely connective. I even chatted with drivers about where I’m from (New York), and more than once got a “Go Yankees!” in return. It was a reminder that language should be a bridge, not a barrier.

Capturing the Moment

Some of the most magical moments came through the lens of my Galaxy Z Flip6. At Bukchon Hanok Village (with its postcard-perfect streets packed with visitors), I didn’t have to stress about getting the perfect photo. Instead, I captured what I could and used Object Eraser to clean up the background later by tapping the tools icon and highlighting them. The result was exactly what I wanted: clean, focused photos that captured the energy of the place without wasting time waiting for the picture perfect moment.
