I’ll start off with something I love most…traveling on a shoestring budget.
And my reasons why I enjoy the adventure sans the luxury of hotels and the predictability of pre-determined tourist spots.
Imagine going to beautiful destinations like Baguio, Boracay, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Clark, Cotabato, Davao, Dumaguete, Gensan, Laoag, Legazpi, Naga, Palawan, Sagada, Tacloban for less than the price of a pair of shoes or international destinations Hongkong, Shenzhen, Macau, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok, or Hanoi for less than the amount of the classic ipod. ALL IN! As in no hidden charges. I already did, that's why I'm sharing this blog to everyone who wanted to see the world at half the price.
Believe me! All you need is just the proper timing, an adventurous spirit and a lot of tips and pieces of advice to get you started.
When you get to a country and you don’t know what to visit or what to do, that’s when creativity pops in. It gives you the chance to be where nobody has been or to experience something that nobody has done yet.
You get to be spontaneous; one moment you’re shopping in the downtown area, the next you’re climbing the nearest mountain. One moment you’re in a busy street, the next you’re traversing the road less traveled.
You discover places, people and promos that were never heard of. Something like a factory outlet of some designer brands or depot of some international labels.
You learn to budget your money and experiment with the choices of food based on your funds.
It’s extremely fun even when doing nothing or even when just buying stuff from a grocery store or window shopping in one of their malls.
And the best way is getting to these places with half the regular price and going back full of wonderful experiences and unforgettable discoveries.
I'll try my best to be as detailed as possible (contacts, places, maps etc) and though I don't really dabble in photography, I'll try to capture the moment and show the magnificence of the place.
Happy Trip=)
