How did we spend PhP 15,000.00 to Backpack Indochina for 11 Days?
We ended
the year 2014 with an escapade we never thought we could make possible.
As we
waited for 6 months, it gave us enough time to save and prepare for a unique trail
visiting countries we never had been before.
I always thought international trips would
be too costly and impossible for an ASIAN like me, but we have proved it wrong
and maximized the available funds we had turning it into an extraordinary holiday
experience.
I have planned for it carefully to make it sure we won't be shortened out of funds but without sacrificing enjoyment and the consistency of being thrilled as we get to know each place, visiting famous attractions and sights.
We all had flexible minds for possible itinerary changes in
accordance with weather, cost, safety and also personal preferences since we are
traveling as a group.
Along the way I had the luxury of time to fill out my budgeting sheet, thus I have
summarized my everyday expenditure for our 11 days of backpacking
the 3 countries via border crossing.

It has been an amazing trip to discover diversity amongst neighboring Asian countries, being able to travel with my close circle of friends and YES maximizing our funds having spent a total of PhP 15,198.00 for our trip.

Note: I paid PhP 4,000.00 extra for my Bangkok to Manila trip as I booked late and was hopeful for another lower airfare promotion. I had purchased the tickets ahead for my cousins costing them PhP 2,072.00 only c",).....A BIG LESSON for me.
