Travel Date: September 2016 Anyone who has ever been to Seoul knows that 4 full days in this busy city is wayyyyy too short. Unfortunately, because my girlfriends J, S, and I booked a last-minute trip to Seoul over dinner 2 weeks before (#yolo right?), beggars can’t be choosers and the return flight prices were the most ideal during those dates.

With this thought, we turned to Airbnb in search for…
So I’ve recently embarked on this huge journey, and I just wanted to document it as I go along, as well as share my experiences and tips with whoever who might be thinking about it too! After all, it is a HUGE and scary af step for a Singaporean – lifelong debt, here I come! Why Resale? Of course, before any of these began, I always thought I would settle down at 26 in a nice BTO 4 or 5 room flat, in a nice place some day. Which girl wouldn’t like a big house in a nice place?
