Asia is truly full of wonders! There’s just too much to do and we only had a limited time to do all of the things on our lists. We only had 6 nights and 6 days to squeeze everything in – without sacrificing too much of our 7K budget target goal – for Singapore-Malaysia-Indonesia. This is a DIY travel itinerary
ACCOMMODATION
New Society Backpacker Hotel | 1874 PHP from Agoda (May 5-8)
Central 65 | 360 PHP from Agoda (We cancel it. It is just for back-up purposes)
Axis Residences | 450 PHP from AirBnb (May 8-9)
TIP
Book your hotel accommodation ahead of time to get much discounted price and if it is possible, check the "Book Now, Pay Later" option for you to have more chances to change your hotel if you found much cheaper or decided to cancel. And please be reminded that, traveling abroad requires you to have your Hotel Accommodation to be presented to our Immigration Officer at the Airport.
