Travel Budget: Singapore


I’ll start this entry off by saying that this travel budget is rather inaccurate, since I pretty much stopped writing down my expenses when I got to comfortable in Singapore. So there were items that I missed, and items that probably shouldn’t be listed.

I’ve included the cheap airfare to and from Singapore in this budget, excluding the expenses incurred in the Philippines (airport & travel tax, taxi). It’s a fairly decent amount, except that it does not include any accommodation expense and no costs on souvenirs either. This budget is only for six days in Singapore: Day 1, and Days 25 to 30.

1 I used my frequent flier miles to buy my ticket, so I only had to pay the taxes and fees.
2 I love this bus.
3 This is only for two taxi rides, both going to Changi Airport.
4 It’s so easy and cheap to use Singapore’s public transport system. Fares are cheaper if you use an Ez-link card.
5 This includes meals outside the house and groceries for the meals I cooked at my brother’s flat
6 3G/HSPA is my downfall.

Nina Fuentes | Lovin' ManilaNina, going through quarterlife crisis, decided to stop talking about traveling and actually start traveling. Starting with a solo weekend trip to Cebu to a backpacking trip in Thailand and Singapore, she finally made it out of Asia and into Australia. After spending close to six months down under, she's happily settled in Manila (for now), intent to explore the best things the Philippines has to offer.
