So here I am, back in Manila and daydreaming about my next trip. I want to go overseas, but I also want to visit a new domestic destination. I also want to buy a new camera, preferably a DSLR. The problem is, I don’t have that much money.
Do I:
Buy a DLSR and go on a domestic trip
Or
Travel overseas and pacify myself with a compact digital camera
I would prefer the overseas travel and DSLR, but I have to be realistic; that isn’t possible.
Why do I always have these thoughts when I’m broke?
Even before I came home, I already told myself that I won’t be travelling anytime soon. After all, after 3 months of holiday, I have a mountain of work waiting for me, not to mention the credit card bills I have to pay.
However, reading forum threads about places I haven’t been to yet is trigging that desire, and right now, I have Cebu Pacific’s and Philippine Airlines’ websites open in my other browser.
For other travelbugs out there, how do you cope with life in between trips? Especially when you’ve just come home and have no money.
Nina, 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.
