South Korea Itinerary + Breakdown of Expenses

Hello everyone!

It's been a while.

Today, I am sharing the South Korea itinerary that I had way back November 2014. I am hesitant to actually share a breakdown of expenses because I am not sure if the prices would still be valid or would still make sense in 2019. Hehe... But I will still be sharing it, anyway.

If you want to see my adventures, please do follow my Youtube Channel.
