Hi Nina! Great post!. My husband and I just finished a year long trip and we decided to set up a website to help other people figure out travel costs by country. I was wondering if we could use some of your data since you’ve done such a great, detailed job of keeping track of costs. The website is http://www.budgetyourtrip.com. With your permission we’d love to use some of you data.

Thanks!

Hi Nina,

You’re blog is extremely helpful. I clicked the link for the excel sheet, a new window opened and it had garbled characters so I wasn’t able to read and download the file. Is there another way I can access your excel file? =)

Gracias!

Singapore-Perth(Jetstar) for Sept 6-11 ,2009 -$117 or P3510/person
Singapore -Ho CHi Min for Nov 3-5,2009 S$76 or P2,280/person
SIngapore-Siem Reap for oct 20-22,2009 S$110 or P3,300

In contrast our Manila-Busuanga flight this Dec 18-19 is S$59.5 or P1785
Manila-Busuanga is a 1 hr flight while the other destinations are about 2-6 hrs flight

BertN: That 50K *might* be just for the SEA leg. But yeah, definitely no luxuries in that trip!

Dyanie: Matinding pagtitipid at pagpipigil ang nangyari sa byaheng ito XD

I am amazed at how they were able to visit 9 countries in SE Asia for 3 months at an average cost of Php50,000 per person. I don’t doubt it can be done but that is really pushing it to the limit.

Davidd: Yup, that’s everything 😀 Well, you need to factor in the costs of the airlines for long haul travel, specially from the US or Europe. It’s easy enough to travel on the cheap in Asia, specially since the cost of living is so much lower here. Though this amount may seem cheap to you, for us, this is quite a substantial amount.

Carlo: Hahaha, can’t resist that barb no? 😉 I’d rather spend my money on my travels than for just one expensive dinner, even if I *do* like to splurge once in a while.

Magnetic_rose: You’re scaring me about Tokyo lol
