If you didn't know yet, I live alone in #Bangkok — the first time in my life: no roomies to share expenses and food with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are incredible reasons why living on your own rocks, but each pro comes with their own con. Despite that, the experience taught me tons of valuable learnings, such as: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Budgeting money is crucial - having your place to yourself comes with lots of financial responsibilities, and without people to half the expenses with, budgeting can be challenging, but you have to do it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Meal prepping helps a lot - I am a believer in meal prepping because it helps me save money. Plus, it gets me so excited. Been following my fave meal preppers @fresh.erica and @budgetbytes for inspo! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Cleaning comes without thinking - Ah, am I the only one who constantly cleans my house and follows a weekly cleaning schedule? Also, my unit has to have a specific scent, and for months now, it's Green from @muji_thailand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Learn to build furniture on your own - Going to @ikeathailand is so therapeutic for me, even if I don't buy anything. But on times I purchased and have to assemble them, I've learned to make use of walls or chairs for support because there are no extra hands around! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Living alone lets you explore new things - With more time alone, I have ventured in lots of other things: improved my cooking, started baking, took more photos, practised drawing, and writing longer IG post like this! 😜 • • • • • #pocketofmyhome #studioapartment #decordetail #peepmypad #interiors #howyouhome #myhappyplace #makingmyhaven #lovetheroom #cozycollectives #mydomaine #meandmyabode #vscocam #vsco (at Bangkok, Thailand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDnSpo4HZbB/?igshid=clsocxougnj1
