Laurence

Hey there! I'm Laurence, I'm a programmer and the voice behind "thethriftescape". I guess you're here to know a bit about me, huh? I'm not good at talking about myself, but will give it a try. Aside from chocolates/sweets I love travelling. If you've read some of my blog, I always have it or buy some chocolates when I travel. I started travelling when I had my first solo backpacking trip. From there on, I started making my travel blog. But not really promoting it. And just share it to few people who wanted to travel or do solo backpacking too. Now, I have my own blog that I can share it with everyone! I like travelling, but don't want to spend too much (yup! thrifty traveller here :P) So when I go for a trip, I always make sure to do it on a budget, as much as possible. And to attain this, I search a lot. I know, there are some people like me, who wants to travel the world on a budget. Or just looking for some itineraries for a certain city/country. So to pay it forward, I share my blog about my travel experiences with itineraries, tips and budgets. Let’s connect! and Tavel More! Say hello to me at [email protected]

We arrived in South Korea late at night and looked for the guesthouse. The next morning, we went to Ehwa Women’s University. Even with the directions to Ehwa Women’s University, we got lost, LOL..We should alight in Dongdaemun History and Culture, instead of Dongdaemun… (so as usual, wasted time, ?)

Due to bad weather, we did not pursue our plan to Mt. Fuji, because the locals said, that we won’t be able to see it, if it’s foggy ? We checked out in our hostel, but we leave our luggage, so we can still stroll (even if it’s raining hard outside!)
