The Purple Slippers | Travels and More

Travelers like me are always looking for accommodations that are right on budget most specially for solo travelers. And when you say super budget accommodations that would usually cost Php 200 to Php 500 per person or per room.   When it’s beyond that range I place it on budget accommodations already.   It’s usually backpacker type and you should not expect for a TV or a refrigerator in your room. However, there are still ones that has it.    Here are some accommodation options you have for Iligan City; Maria Cristina Hotel  Photo by: Iligan Hotels Inn and Pension Houses Location:  Gen.

Singapore is one of the most expensive destinations in Asia. If you ask Filipinos living in Singapore, they'd probably tell you to prepare a good amount if you are visiting Singapore. The cost of living in Singapore is high compared to other Asian Countries. If you have at least 15,000 pesos for a 3-day trip, you will surely survive Singapore. I created a separate post for the itinerary and budget you may check it out here. Here are few tips on how to tour around Singapore on a budget; 1. If you're staying Singapore for 3 days better get the Tourist pass EZLink card (unlimited rides for 3 days) for easy transport from one place to the other. Cost: SGD 20.00  2. Book an accommodation in a hostel with shared bathroom. Hostel beds with shared bathroom can be rented out for at least SGD 18.00 per day. Prices are higher during weekends and on holidays. For a good deal, you can book your accommodation ahead of time. Book here Why hostel? Because you will be tou...

From Singapore, we exited to Kuala Lumpur. It was an evening flight so we arrived Kuala Lumpur quite late in the evening. It was a bit hard to get a cab that time. Good thing we have GRAB app handy.  We are an avid user of TNVS most especially while traveling. Since all of us are first-time visitors of Kuala Lumpur, we rely on maps and blogs to guide us thru. The funny thing is we were looking for a car for 6 pax but was surprised that the cars in KL are actually small. It can’t accommodate additional luggage for the 6 people. The grab driver told us to book another regular GRAB CAR since the car for 6 no longer have room for the luggage. So we did.  From the airport to our AIRBNB HOME, it took us 45 minutes by car. We pick up the keys as instructed and walaaaaaah welcome to our 3 days and 2 nights home.  1 bedroom 69sqm condominium at Swiss Garden  condominium for 6 persons View from our window If you don't have an AIR...

Universal Studios is one of the themed parks in Singapore that receives a lot of visitors in the country. If you are a fan of movies, you are pretty familiar with Universal Studios for sure. When I visited Universal Studios last year (Feb 2016), We started at around 8 am in the morning and went home at 7 PM. This year we were quite late and arrived Universal Studios at around 10 AM. The sun was already too hot. He he TICKETS Last year we bought tickets online directly from their website promos [Link here]. We were lucky to have purchased it at only 54 SGD each with a free tumbler.  In my recent trip, we got our discounted tickets at our hostel. Their hostels in Singapore offer discounted rates in all the touristy destinations of Singapore. We got it at 69 SGD  compared to the regular 75 SGD when purchased at the park.  RIDES If you are a thrill-seeker experience the rides, but be mindful of the wait time and reminders posted outside each ride.
