Sharing my expenses from my Seoul-Jeju trip last Autumn. In a way, this will also be my personal record that I can conveniently look back on that day that I decide to go back to Korea. I actually checked my Korea Spring Budget before this second trip so I can gauge how much money I needed to bring!
Photos from Incheon Airport while waiting for my flight back to MNL.
Disclaimer, I am not saying this is the best budget for a Korea trip. Just plain stating facts based from my experience. Others prefer a tipid trip, while some go for a luxurious, all-out travel experience. Mine's alanganin, haha! May onting pasarap (I take cabs pag naliligaw na, I don't deprive myself from coffee breaks and cute Van Gogh souvenirs) but medyo budget conscious padin (For now I prefer Airbnb / dorms over hotels, I also consciously avoided the usual k-beauty and sneakers shopping for this trip).
