$50? Baka puro fastfood lang kakainin mo at puro lakad ang gagawin. Yup pupuwede. Dahil noong pumunta ako ng Hongkong meron silang train ticket good for one whole day unlimited ride ... parang $20 lang yata price non. Pero 2009 pa iyon not sure kung magkano na ngayon.

Kung lahat ng point of interest at theme park puwedeng ma access ng walk and train mas maganda kasi tipid kaysa taxi at rental car. Iyong food okay lang sa akin ang food court sa mga malls or fast food like mcdonalds. Tapos kumain ka na lang sa restaurant pag malapit ka na umalis para hindi masira budget mo.

Or street foods lang. Advantage ng mga 3rd world countries ay meron silang mga karinderia. Minsan doon mo pa matitikman mga authentic cuisines ng country.

Tsaka sa mga pipichugin na hotel or hostel ka lang matutulog. Much better kung couch surfing or house sitting, or kung may kakilala ka sa bansa na yun pwede ka makitira.

May pinsan akong couch surfer at syempre nag nag-a-accommodate ng couch surfers sa bahay niya. Kapitbahay ko lang siya kaya nameet ko rin yung mga foreign couch surfers.

Pag budget traveler ka ang purpose mo lang sa accommodation is a place to sleep, kaya hindi kailangan ng mamahalin na hotel.

How To Change Your "I’m Too Poor to Travel" Mindset And Say Yes To Travel

http://thoughtcatalog.com/matthew-kepne ... to-travel/

If you wake up today and tell yourself, “I’m too poor to travel or that you can’t because of X reason,” you’ll never look for ways to start traveling. You will only see roadblocks. You see only the reasons why you can’t travel – bills, flights, car payments, debt, family, or more. You never peer beyond those roadblocks and ask yourself “how do I overcome these obstacles like those other people?” The only difference between those on the road and those off it is that those on it kept saying “yes” to travel instead of “I can’t.”

Wake up today and say “Yes, I can travel too” and start looking for what you can do right now to make that happen. Start small. Each yes builds on itself and on the one before it. Look at your day-to-day spending. How much would you save if you bought a Brita instead of a daily bottle of water, gave up Starbucks, cooked more of your own food, or drank less? What if you gave up cable? Downgraded your phone plan? Walked to work? Sold off your unneeded stuff on eBay?

Yup may sacrifices na kailangan ding gawin para makapag-travel, tulad ng paghinto ng gaming natin pero sulit din yun.

P595 lang sa National Bookstore!

Just met with relatives from SF.
Gusto ko sana mag work duon kaso walang magpepetition sakin.
Ang sabi eh kapag single ka madali makapasok sa CA, pag married mahirap.
Problema eh pag dating dun wala ka pala mahanap trabaho nganga!

[Daniel]

madali ang trabaho sa states. sa umpisa di mo nga lang makukuha yung trabahong gusto mo.

Only 3x to travel outside the country. 1st sa US, year 2000(12 yrs old pa lang ako ) nag enjoy ako pero hindi ko gaano na appreciate kasi bata pa. 2nd time is 2013 sa SG and 3rd time, 2014 sa HK. During that time parang nasa ibang mundo ako. Nakaka relax:) Parang gusto ko tuloy mag travel outside the country once a year pero malabo ko na magawa kasi madadagdagan priorities ko..hehe..Gusto ko sana makabalik sa US para mas ma enjoy ko yung lugar kaya lang mahal ng pamasahe and may visa pa..

[Daniel]

kapag nakakuha ka ng visa, mas mataas na ang chance na mabigyan uli.

10 of the Biggest and Best ways to save money on Travel

http://www.worldofwanderlust.com/10-big ... ey-travel/

9. Phone a Friend
Call up your friends, friends of friends, family friends, friends of family friends and that aunty you’ve heard so much about but never met. Staying with friends and family is a sure way to save a lot on your travels, especially when it comes to accommodation and meals. More times than not people are just as excited to have you visit as you are to visit them, so be sure to ask around.

Ito balak kong gawin pag magtatravel ko. Kakapalan ko mukha ko at susubok makitira sa kakilala or kahit kakilala ng kakilala para makatipid sa accommodation.

I recently went on a Baguio-Vigan-Pagudpud trip. My dad and mom are from Ilocos Norte so it was nice to see some of my relatives again. But the real highlight of the trip was the bagnet and the Ilocos empanada. Namiss ko eh!

To look at it from another way, it's a chance to get to know more your friend/family. Assuming money is not an issue for them, it's a chance for them to travel too.
