Budget Travelling Tips
We hired a car to be able to visit various places of interest in Bali instead of going there on our own. We figured that this might be cheaper considering that the price of taxi to Kuta from Ubud is already around 200,000 Rupiah. We struck a deal with the driver to take us to [...]
One of the most popular tourist activities in Ubud is to visit the Sacred Monkey Forest. The Sacred Monkey Forest is a small patch of land that remained lush with vegetation and is said to be the home of 115 species of trees. Aside from the local flora, there’s also a lot of monkeys or [...]
We took a package tour from Yogyakarta (via Mt. Bromo) to Bali to be able to save time since we’re travelling with our friends who were on vacation. We figured that it would be more convenient with them if we didn’t DIY the whole trip. There are lots of travel agencies in Gang I and [...]
There are a variety of ways on how to go to Bali from Yogyakarta. You could commute to Probolinggo and take the ferry to Bali or alternatively you could book a package thru one of the travel agencies in Yogyakarta which I find very convenient. Average cost that I saw was around 230-250,000 Rupiah. Alternatively, [...]
This is my first time in Indonesia and I didn’t know what to expect when I landed to Jakarta from Kota Kinabalu last October 16. We waited in the airport for approximately eight hours for our flight to Yogyakarta and what we did was stayed in the airport observing everything that’s going on. We landed [...]
I was in Malaysia, specifically Penang, Genting and Kota Kinabalu for almost a month and the price of accommodation (especially in Kota Kinabalu) is a big jump compare to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. It was refreshing to see other parts of Malaysia other than Kuala Lumpur. I realized that there’s so much to see [...]
Island hopping in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park could easily cost you a lot of money if you book thru travel agencies. You actually have the option to DIY it to save money. Here’s how: Jesselton Ferry Terminal 1. Go to Jesselton Ferry Terminal and book your boats (price depends on number of islands you’ll visit). [...]
I’m not exactly a shopper but if there’s one thing that I like about travelling, its visiting markets. I think I have mentioned it a couple of times already . I love visiting markets because I learn so much about prices and I get to see a variety of items that I don’t usually see [...]
Kota Kinabalu City or KK wasn’t part of the itinerary when I was drafting my ideas on where to go. I was not sure why it didn’t appeal to me that much, maybe because of it’s close proximity to my home country. But I was just so happy that I chose to fly to Kota [...]
After being on the road continuously for six months now, I decided to take a break from my usual “tight budget trip” and decided to treat myself for a 3D/2N R&R trip at Genting Highlands. My friends and I decided to book a hotel room at First World Hotel and luckily there was an ongoing [...]
