Travel budget recommendations
1. Plan ahead
First thing first is to secure a mode of transport that fits your budget. Any choices rarely gives a promo rate, so have patient to avail one. Then reserve for your choice of accommodation and tour packages. If your solo traveler, you can opt to join other travelers for cheaper rate and meet new friends. For group travelers especially 6 pax above, you can avail an exclusive tour or joiners tour since rates are almost the same.
2. Travel lite
Just packed things that are necessary and things that you can't live without.
3. Travel during lean season
It is cheaper and the place is not crowded.
4. Capture the moments
Don't forget to bring your mobile phone and/or camera to picture/record the beautiful places, persons and cultures that you see, meet and encounter.
