Saan balak ninyo magbakasyon ngayong taon?

Baka mag Napa Valley ulit kami dahil may time share kami doon, or kaya Anahiem or Las Vegas kung may pera.

Will try to save up for a eurotrip next year, this year siguro nearby SEA nations na lang.

also, I do agree about eating like a local, best way to experience their culture..... just be sure to bring diatabs(or the like) on your trip.

South Korea
Malaysia
Singapore
Indonesia
Hongkong
Vietnam
Qatar
Spain
France
Japan
Thailand

Yung iba backpack lang ako like in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Ang ginawa ko dun ay naghanap ng kakilala para po makatipid sa lodging.

Hindi ka nakapag backpacking sa mga expensive countries sa list mo like South Korea, Qatar, Spain, and France?

Dun sa ibang places bro, I was with my family kaya medyo may budget talaga yung trips.

5k lang pala papuntang SG (or around that), ngayon ko lang nalaman..
Kaya pala yung pinsan kong nurse sa SG eh halos once a month umuuwi dito..

Local pa rin ako this year.. Baguio haha

Pero is sa mga ultimate asian destination target ko is Japan & Korea..
Ewan ko kung bakit Japan pero siguro dahil sa ramen, cherry blossoms, snow, anime at gundam statue.

Syempre iba pa rin ang Eurotrip pero kelangan ko muna manalo sa lotto para magawa yun.
I'm not a rich kid to begin with.

Yung presyo ng plane ticket sa Europe hindi nalayo sa presyo sa US. Usually nasa $1000 din.

Sa SG, meron pa minsang piso fare. Piso pabalik.

You don't have to be rich in order to travel. Plane tickets are usually pricey, but aside from that there are a lot of ways to travel cheaply.

Am I the only one here who is planning and preparing to travel on a budget? Lately ako lang nagpopost dito eh. Hehehe

Fri Apr 17, 2015 4:28 pm

Andaming oportunista sa La Preza sa Benguet. Pinakita sa news. May permit permit pa eh sabi ng Mayor peke yun.
May kakagaling lang ba dito from Benguet?

600-1000php taxi to La Preza from Baguio City? Ok ba yun? Balikan na ba or one way pa lang?

You already!

Gusto ko muna maexperience ang low-range budget traveling habang bata pa (or feeling bata pa kasi 28 na ako

) Karamihan kasi ng low-range budget travelers ay nasa early to mid twenties.
