Calculating a *REALISTIC BUDGET* for Backpacking the Philippines + How to make it cheaper

[@SaraSigismondi]

The effort you've put into the graphics in this video! Best KZbinr EVER

[@BackpackingBananas]

😭😭 thank you it was a lot of effort 😅

[@michaeljakeusman]

you could say... she went bananas on the presentation =)

[@abdulmaalikj]

Yep definitely agree

[@CebuanaAdventures]

that's such an extensive summary of expenses! i'm extremely impressed.

[@BackpackingBananas]

😅 thanks! I have a very extensive spreadsheet of my whole trip 🤓

[@taxedtodeath5334]

I am a Filipino American. I would never have guessed that I will get some good information from Londoner on how to travel the Philippines. Thanks, that was good.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Haha we're not completely useless 😉

[@alicebyrne593]

This is literally the best video ever! Could you do this with Australia, I know it’s very different but with options of travel routes! 😊😊

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Wow you've put so much effort and detail into this video! I'm sure many people will find this extremely helpful! 👍

[@BackpackingBananas]

I did indeed, I hope so 😊😊

[@shansinclair8317]

Currently on my first ever solo trip and because of your videos I chose... THE PHILIPPINES. Your videos are great and give so much insight to travelling this beautiful country. Thanks a heap :)

[@BackpackingBananas]

YAS QUEEN 🤩

[@kellyfowler917]

This is probably the most in-depth and informative travel video I have ever seen. I hadn't considered travelling the Philippines before but your video has really opened my mind to the idea. I never comment on KZbin videos but with the amount of time and effort you must have put into this analysis, I couldn't help but show my appreciation

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️ really means a lot. Philippines is a fab country, I highly recommend it 😍😍

This is by far the best Travel Budgeting video I've seen on YT! It is so refreshing that a travel KZbinr speaks so openly about money:)

[@alessanicerio4408]

This budget is very realistic. This is so helpful even for us local travellers! Thank you so much for this!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Wow thank you for this detailed calculations. I'll save a budget for our next vacation in PH soon. And I'll do backpacking to the Philippines like Backpacking Bananas! - watching from Vancouver.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Woooop 🤩🤩 sounds like a plan!

[@globetrotter_deer]

When I listen to your plans and what have you done, I can feel my brain literally, cause it is the same way I am thinking and planning. You are amazing! Don't stop what you're doing😎🍀

Excellent recap! Thank you very, very much. This will be really helpful.

[@BackpackingBananas]

[@hansj.severino7119]

You are so Amazingly Informative on the Philippines! Filipinos love you for it! Welcome all to Paradise!

[@mw5218]

This is great, thank you so much! I'm more of an average traveler, so this is such a nice breakdown of the costs. Usually those type of videos are made by people who travel as cheap as possible and I would never be able to travel that way

[@amyknott8511]

this is SUCH a helpful and well thought out video!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yay 🤩🤩

[@johnth8045]

Brilliant travel advice, superb finance detail, perfect. Oracle of backpacking travel costs to the Philippines.

[@micas5759]

this was fairly informative! im planning to show my friend around after the pandemic. also, i wanted to say it is okay if you don't like certain things about the philippines, because everyone has different tastes!:)

[@Scotty855]

Love your videos! I'm headed to the Philippines soon and you have been very helpful. Thanks!

[@BackpackingBananas]

❤️❤️

[@michaeljakeusman]

travel tip.. unless it's implied that the price is fixed. everything can be negotiated.. if you feel you're getting ripped off, you are =P specially with tricycles that are stationed in ferry terminals.

[@DepressedTraveler]

I'm going for a month in January to start off my 6 month trip to Asia from the UK been loving the videos! Subbed ^-^

[@AngryKittens]

Yep. One of the worst things you can do when traveling the Philippines is to pick _too many_ destinations. You'll spend most of your time traveling and won't actually be able to enjoy those destinations except for just saying "I've been there." Leave enough time, pick locations wisely.

[@cosmpirg]

Wow, awesomeness in a video. Nice work! Love the effort you put into your videos 😍

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks Katharina ❤️❤️

[@lukethornton294]

Really loved this video, booking my flight out for May 2022 at the end of this month and your videos are what are helping me budget, plan and organise my trip away! Fingers crossed they open the border to Tourists by then :D

[@Hanshuber161]

Hello, Christianne. I can see from your video that you have put in a great deal of effort into keeping a track of your expenses and presenting them in an easily understandable manner. You have done an EXCELLENT job of calculating a realistic budget for travelers who would like to visit the Philippines. I now know how much budget I need to set aside when I plan on visiting the Philippines sometime in the future (I'm gonna take the average yearly inflation of Philippines into consideration for my calculations, too). Thanks!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much ❤️😊

[@maryegerton6848]

Well done! This is the best I have seen. I love the Philippine Islands. I spent a month there. Did you go with TAO expeditions? I went with them and it was the trip of a lifetime. I was supposed to go back to Asia this winter but Covid took care of those plans. I had my ticket bought and even some currency and my first three nights accommodation booked. ☹️. Spent the winter in freezing cold Canada. Now I am saving for a one year trip around the world. It shouldn’t be hard, cuz I’m not going out and spending any money. Peace and love, banana. ☮️💕

[@CarysHanson]

You should do more videos like this, they are so useful and helpful. Thank you!!

If you want to save on food expenses, visit the local grocery/bakery/palengke. Stock up on some fruits/bread/coffee/juice/beer. Eat an early meal or brunch in your hotel so you only have to eat out once a day.

[@DoubleBassSamer]

Another amazing video, the content is getting better and better each time. very structured and detailed and thats just full on amazing! You are the youtuber thats making me get out of my comfort zone and go on my first solo backpacking trip this september. Im going to sri lanka do you advice me to go and explore it for my first time or should i save my money for a better place?

[@BackpackingBananas]

😭😭😍😍 that makes me so happy! Absolutely, Sri Lanka is awesome!

You are such an inspiration to me and many others! Just keep that in mind. We love you Christianne ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The moment you are travelling in South America for the last 7 month but you can't wait to go to the philipines😇

[@BackpackingBananas]

Haha always the case! Hope you're enjoying South America!

[@caloyflores6036]

Great 30Day plan or when you land in Manila in the airport go to the immigration office and spend 30 mins. To have it extended to 60 days so you won't be rushing around.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Didn't realise you could do this in the airport on arrival! That's good to know!

[@kaitlynjeanne9945]

Also this video is AMAZING😄🌞

[@BackpackingBananas]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sleepynorthernwolf]

I would say these computations are spot-on! Much love from the Philippines :D To add, the more remote a certain place here in the Philippines, the more you'll save on accommodation & food. & you can start on a certain spot or island & increase the area of your itinerary little by little so you're not too overwhelmed with a lot of destinations & you're getting the most out of one province or area since there are loads of hidden waterfalls, rivers, hills, etc that you can explore in just a certain province, island, or region. I think it's also less stressful when you do that in my opinion. Remember that you can always go back here in the Philippines & you don't have to break your bank to explore the wonderful spots here :D

[@TheVanderfulLife]

Just 1 word, Thankyou!
