Travel MORE with LESS

Travelling is always an exciting thing to do. How much more if you’ll be paid to explore places, try on different food and delicacies, discover dynamic cultures and share your stories to the world? Amazing right? Absolutely! Being a travel writer must probably the most rewarding career I could have. But of course, as per experience it’s not really easy! But it doesn’t mean that we’ll stop sharing the fun, go travel and explore the world, this way you’ll appreciate life better.
Of course, thousands of considerations will arise when you travel but the best way to enjoy the adventure is not purely how much you have in your pockets to shop and unwind! There are always “diskarte” to have fun, to travel MORE with LESS J

 
GO FOR SEAT SALE! I so love Cebu Pacific and their marketing wise campaign "It's time every Juan flies" because they truly live up to the promise of affordable travel fares. Plan ahead and get feeds on the latest promos, this way you’ll be able to get the best rates whether it’s domestic or international flights.  



PLAN YOUR LOOK – Planning will always keep you organized but hey you’ll save a lot with your plans. Plan what to wear in your trips. Street-smart day 1, bubbly-on-the go day 2, comfy-chic day 3, whatever and however you want to look; plan it! Though I’m really guilty of changing planned clothes from time to time, I still manage to mix and match with what I have on my luggage. How did you save from planning your outfit? You need not to carry too many blouses, sandals and accessories! Travel lite means pay lite!



WEB CHECK IN – Let’s make use of the internet to confirm our presence on a flight and print our own boarding passes. I really love this! Depending on the carrier and the specific flight, we may also enter details such as baggage quantities and select preferred seating. It lessens activity at the airport, reduce passenger waiting times and most especially help us save our money. I’m sure you’ll agree with me that most of us have already spent 1/8 of our “ baon” while we are still in the airport waiting for our flights. Because people who travel a lot hate boring moments, sitting and watching people pass by is a no no!  Temptations are everywhere! Coffee house on your left, travellers’ kit on your right, we can easily justify the need when we are bored. So better yet, stay away from temptations and just click the web to check-in J

TRAVEL WITH YOUR BEST BUDDIES and NOTHING WILL GO WRONG! In fact this is the best tip I could ever give to all!  For sure best of friends know how much you can afford for the travel so you’ll help each other to stay within the budget.  You can abuse (yes, that’s really how best buddies are) each other without being so cautious on their feelings! I’m glad I have real friends like them J.
