    Well done! This is the best I have seen. I love the Philippine Islands. I spent a month there. Did you go with TAO expeditions? I went with them and it was the trip of a lifetime. I was supposed to go back to Asia this winter but Covid took care of those plans. I had my ticket bought and even some currency and my first three nights accommodation booked. ☹️. Spent the winter in freezing cold Canada. Now I am saving for a one year trip around the world. It shouldn’t be hard, cuz I’m not going out and spending any money. Peace and love, banana. ☮️💕

    Hello, Christianne. I can see from your video that you have put in a great deal of effort into keeping a track of your expenses and presenting them in an easily understandable manner. You have done an EXCELLENT job of calculating a realistic budget for travelers who would like to visit the Philippines. I now know how much budget I need to set aside when I plan on visiting the Philippines sometime in the future (I'm gonna take the average yearly inflation of Philippines into consideration for my calculations, too). Thanks!

    @sleepynorthernwolf Před 5 lety

    I would say these computations are spot-on! Much love from the Philippines :D
    To add, the more remote a certain place here in the Philippines, the more you'll save on accommodation & food.
    & you can start on a certain spot or island & increase the area of your itinerary little by little so you're not too overwhelmed with a lot of destinations & you're getting the most out of one province or area since there are loads of hidden waterfalls, rivers, hills, etc that you can explore in just a certain province, island, or region. I think it's also less stressful when you do that in my opinion.
    Remember that you can always go back here in the Philippines & you don't have to break your bank to explore the wonderful spots here :D

    Yep. One of the worst things you can do when traveling the Philippines is to pick _too many_ destinations. You'll spend most of your time traveling and won't actually be able to enjoy those destinations except for just saying "I've been there." Leave enough time, pick locations wisely.
