Are you bored of spending your weekends at home?

Why not upgrade yourself and learn something new?

Here are 10 new skills you can learn in one session (read: low commitment) from S$25 - S$180 in Singapore, all of which can be found at Airbnb experiences (which don't necessary take place in a home).
