One time, my friend Lean and I were hanging out and he asked me, "How do you save for your trips?"
He had a few upcoming trips scheduled and was having a difficult time saving because all the expenses seemed to be coming in all at once.
Because of what Lean asked me, I thought I would share with you a simple tip my friend Emman shared to me, which has made saving up for travel hell of a lot easier:
Hi again! It's been a long time since my last post but I'm trying to revive this blog, especially since I haven't finished posting about our ASEAN trip last year (whoops) and because I have quite a few travels planned this year as well.
Even though I promised myself I wouldn't allot my money towards travel this year, the temptation is real because--seat sales! It also doesn't help that I've become pretty good at spotting good deals for fares. (I used to be such a bargain hunter for clothes, now I'm one for plane fares. My, how the times have changed!)
And like I always say, a planned trip will always remain a plan unless the tickets are booked!
Before I ventured into travel blogging, I was a fashion and lifestyle blogger. I mostly did it for myself, but because I live in a small town, my blog gained traction and I later found myself being invited to events.
Because I believed that I had "made it" and that this was the "glamorous blogging life" everyone was talking about (it was the boom of the blogging era back then), I said yes to all (okay, most, cause I had "standards") opportunities and invites, even though they weren't fit for my niche, if only to have content to post and freebies (or money) out of it.
Malaysia was our second stop for the five country trip around Southeast Asia. We only did a day trip because we used Malaysia as a transit point to go to Cambodia. As I mentioned in my How to Score Cheap Fares post, we flew with AirAsia and were able to get the cheapest tickets we could to Cambodia because Malaysia is one of AirAsia's major hubs.
Welcome to the first leg of our ASEAN Trip! In the previous post, I delved in how we were able to ride planes the whole length of the trip, while keeping costs down. Now I'll get right into the trip!
Our first leg of the trip was Singapore. We technically spent 3 nights and 2 days there, because we arrived at night. Let me tell you, 2 days isn't enough! Those that have been to Singapore will agree with me.
