Phase one: Planning


To start off, budgeting and laying down some financial cost is very important for a young traveller
 *** 4 YEARS TO SAVE: START SAVING NOW!

Duration of stay in Korea : 18 days
 
Budget : 8000 USD for the whole trip 
 

 Breakdown of the budget:
1. Air tickets - Singapore(SIN) to Seoul Korea (ICN) - 800USD
  • Taking Korean Airlines (Price based on February 2015 timing)
  • About 7 hours of flight time 
  • Taking a midnight flight from Singapore and arriving in Korea in the morning of 9th February 
2. Hotel stay - Budget of 2000 USD for 18 days
  • Option of staying in Pyeongchang or in Seoul 
    • Pyeongchang : Close to olympic venues but would be expensive
    • Seoul, would need to take a 50 minute to 1 hour commute to the olympic venue using a new high speed train scheduled to complete in 2017.  
 3. Transportation - Budget of 300 USD 
  •   Within Seoul, using multiple transportation cards : 1050 won = 1USD per 10km trip 
  • To Olympic Venue: TBC at later date
