Very informative! This made me want to go to this beautiful country. ❤🎉

[@allancuya9975]

Good to see the ever-smiling be-dimpled Sarah

[@EricandSarah]

☺️☺️☺️

[@jojogalit2750]

I think that very reasonable amount of expenses because you’ve done a lot of amazing adventures in Philippines 🇵🇭 👏👍

[@EricandSarah]

We’re glad you agree!

[@harishpsgct]

This is quite possibly your USP, explaining your expense report and sharing it as a link is so awesome... Love the transparency.... And I'm always here for the bloopskis PS: Eric looks huge sitting behind Sarah in the scooter😂

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks Harish! I'm so glad you think so. We like to be transparent with our costs - it's so hard to find any clear information online. Haha everytime we piece the bloopskis together, we're thinking of you 🤗 Also, yes, this makes Eric look like a giant 😂

[@brielpardo5371]

The guy is Edward Norton look alike

[@EricandSarah]

Not the first time I’ve heard this 😂

[@reyvilleson4899]

[@nicoleladroma2117]

[@robertalynch5433]

I enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[@EricandSarah]

You are very welcome!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Great job on your budget! We think it was great, considering that you were island hopping! Where else can you island hop and spend so little? Have a great time in Vietnam! John & Bev

[@EricandSarah]

We agree!! For how much we were able to see and do we are very content with this cost! Thanks John and Bev 🥰

[@EricandSarah]

[@michaelnera7722]

you had such great value for that amount of money. Great video.

[@robjoyce-lifestyle6464]

👋Hello from TX, we enjoy your travel vlog

[@EricandSarah]

Hey! Thanks so much for watching

[@WyattandReyka]

Super helpful. Had no idea getting around the island would be that costly! Thanks for the helpful vlog. Always love watching u guys ❤️

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks guys!! Glad you liked it 🙂

[@TFaithViajar]

It is costly because they were all over and Coron is really expensive $500. You can do this cheaper if you take inter island ferries and go do RORO (roll on and roll off with a vehicle)

[@Rolandalvarez-tr2lz]

Nice places!!!

[@cantonchannel2073]

❤

[@erikasenchanteddisney7629]

Did all the transportation in the little taxis etc feel safe?

[@SkyBlue-rm6pb]

Wow! But for us Filipinos going back home for vacation, youll need at least $10K a month haha! Not sure tho, havent been home for 15 yrs. No idea of how much everything cost now.

[@TFaithViajar]

because you start visiting family, then you end with 10 to 12 people coming along with you and paying for everything

[@edgarenova7996]

🥰🥰🇵🇭

[@jasonpantig4085]

How do you guys earn money while traveling? Aside from your social media? Tired of working in a corporate I might sell my condo unit and just travel haha

[@bhello99]

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@ReadySetGo113]

Just halving cost does not accomodate that aroom is requried whether 1 or 2 people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EricandSarah]

Which is why we said you’d have to budget more as a solo traveller. But for our budget of our experience, halving the total cost is what we paid per person!

[@VCuts32]

Just add the other half of the accommodations cost to the single person cost. Single = Aprox $2,450 per 30 days. They did say this was specific to them and the sweetspot was 4 ppl too.

[@axlrose2775]

Why you count how much you spend to philippines,, if you travel any country dont count,, as long you happy wat you doing😥

[@ohnieronio8042]

very cheap...

[@philippinecowboy]

Sorry to break it to you guys but you got robbed. You overpaid on accommodations for sure, $1226 is waaaaaay to high. Eating shouldn't of been over $800 either but I guess if you lived here you could get that cost down. That trip should've been around $2500 at the max lol
