Travel Expenses: Indonesia by Just Wandering on Sep 8, 2010This is probably the first international trip (not counting Australia) wherein I didn’t make a travel budget prior to leaving. After last year’s trips, I now have a pretty good idea of how much damage I can do to my wallet when I travel.

Travel Budget: Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia by Just Wandering on Jul 11, 2010It’s not the cheapest of trips (specially if you see the version where my personal shopping was included), but relative to how much I spent on previous trips, this is pretty good for a 2-week jaunt across three countries. The tickets I hoarded...

Travel Budget: Baguio by Just Wandering on Apr 12, 2010I did the unthinkable and went out of town on a long weekend. I normally don’t plan anything on long holidays as the Philippine non-working holidays don’t apply to my work. However, it applies to my friend and I was going crazy being coop...

Travel Budget: Calaguas Island by Just Wandering on Mar 9, 2010I’ve been coming across blogs about Calaguas Island, but truth be told, as much as I am interested to go there, I couldn’t be bothered to plan going there because it seemed so hard. I prefer going to destinations where you just hop on a p...

Travel Budget: El Nido by Just Wandering on Feb 28, 2010I’m back in Manila and I’m sorely missing the beach in El Nido. I’ve prepared a series of blog posts about this trip, and I hope you guys find it useful for planning your own El Nido vacation. First up is of course, the travel budge...

Travel Budget: Singapore and Malacca Birthday Trip by Just Wandering on Dec 16, 2009I honestly wasn’t looking forward to tallying up my expenses for my last trip, yet at the same time, I was eager to see just how much damage I did. And if I really spent enough to buy the 50mm f1.4 lens I wanted. I didn’t, but a couple mo...

Travel Budget: Bangkok and Penang by Just Wandering on Oct 28, 2009You know I’m out of topics to blog about when I start posting my travel budget. This one is from my one-week trip to Thailand and Malaysia at the beginning of the month. The main purpose of the trip was for the tennis, but we ended up dollie sh...

Travel Budget: Boracay by Just Wandering on Sep 13, 2009I’ve been putting off posting this because it’s just too darned embarassing. For a trip that has a lot of free stuff, it has been one expensive weekend. Then again, if you have a penchant for eating out at fancy restaurants, you’d...

Travel Budget: Southeast Asia by Just Wandering on Aug 9, 2009A year ago, Robert Alejandro and Jetro Rafael shared their experience of traveling through Southeast Asia on a shoestring budget: 9 countries (including China, Macau and Hong Kong), 3 months, for only Php 50,000. I was amazed at this figure they pres...

Travel Budget: Malaysia by Just Wandering on Jul 24, 2009Unlike previous post-trip accounting posts, I’ve consolidated all legs of my Malaysian trip into one spreadsheet. Admittedly, I started getting lazy listing down every expense (which is going to be hell when I start working on the Singapore leg...
