I am a Filipino American. I would never have guessed that I will get some good information from Londoner on how to travel the Philippines. Thanks, that was good.
Currently on my first ever solo trip and because of your videos I chose... THE PHILIPPINES. Your videos are great and give so much insight to travelling this beautiful country. Thanks a heap :)
This is probably the most in-depth and informative travel video I have ever seen. I hadn't considered travelling the Philippines before but your video has really opened my mind to the idea. I never comment on TH-cam videos but with the amount of time and effort you must have put into this analysis, I couldn't help but show my appreciation
This video is awesome, up to date info with conversion to uk pound and also ideas on where to go on my first trip to the Philippines. Thanks for all the effort made to make this vid
Wow thank you for this detailed calculations. I'll save a budget for our next vacation in PH soon. And I'll do backpacking to the Philippines like Backpacking Bananas! - watching from Vancouver.
Really helpful video, will definitely be coming back to this if I ever decide to go to the Philippines, you’re really winning me over to plan this trip haha!
travel tip.. unless it's implied that the price is fixed. everything can be negotiated.. if you feel you're getting ripped off, you are =P specially with tricycles that are stationed in ferry terminals.
Hello, Christianne. I can see from your video that you have put in a great deal of effort into keeping a track of your expenses and presenting them in an easily understandable manner. You have done an EXCELLENT job of calculating a realistic budget for travelers who would like to visit the Philippines. I now know how much budget I need to set aside when I plan on visiting the Philippines sometime in the future (I'm gonna take the average yearly inflation of Philippines into consideration for my calculations, too). Thanks!
Really loved this video, booking my flight out for May 2022 at the end of this month and your videos are what are helping me budget, plan and organise my trip away! Fingers crossed they open the border to Tourists by then :D
Wow what an informative video!! We plan on doing videos like this for every country we go to (as we usually spend about a month in each). Only catch is that we usually stay in Airbnb's with our toddler- so costs are a bit different. :) I love these sort of videos!!
You put so much effort into this and we can notice the quality content here, Although this was a video full of specific numbers and data, it was very entertaining and very fun too! I love your videos!
Yep. One of the worst things you can do when traveling the Philippines is to pick _too many_ destinations. You'll spend most of your time traveling and won't actually be able to enjoy those destinations except for just saying "I've been there." Leave enough time, pick locations wisely.
I would say these computations are spot-on! Much love from the Philippines :D To add, the more remote a certain place here in the Philippines, the more you'll save on accommodation & food. & you can start on a certain spot or island & increase the area of your itinerary little by little so you're not too overwhelmed with a lot of destinations & you're getting the most out of one province or area since there are loads of hidden waterfalls, rivers, hills, etc that you can explore in just a certain province, island, or region. I think it's also less stressful when you do that in my opinion. Remember that you can always go back here in the Philippines & you don't have to break your bank to explore the wonderful spots here :D
All those numbers I'm sure are useful but gibberish to me. Not really gifted with math so my understanding is really low 😂 this is my worst travel mistake, not tracking my expenses.
Well done! This is the best I have seen. I love the Philippine Islands. I spent a month there. Did you go with TAO expeditions? I went with them and it was the trip of a lifetime. I was supposed to go back to Asia this winter but Covid took care of those plans. I had my ticket bought and even some currency and my first three nights accommodation booked. ☹️. Spent the winter in freezing cold Canada. Now I am saving for a one year trip around the world. It shouldn’t be hard, cuz I’m not going out and spending any money. Peace and love, banana. ☮️💕
This video is amazing! Really helpful, thank you! I'm going travelling later this year and all of your advice and tips are definitely helping with planning! I don't suppose you did anything like this for Australia or any other places you've travelled to?😊x
th-cam.com/play/PL2eiBxCh0xIo3MT0BnBEAdVd-a8n8Hvoy.html if you head to the bottom of this playlist, there are a bunch of tips videos for different destinations . I deffo need to re-do some of them though as they don't go into as much detail as I have gone with the Philippines series
this was fairly informative! im planning to show my friend around after the pandemic. also, i wanted to say it is okay if you don't like certain things about the philippines, because everyone has different tastes!:)
When I listen to your plans and what have you done, I can feel my brain literally, cause it is the same way I am thinking and planning. You are amazing! Don't stop what you're doing😎🍀
I'm currently full-time with my TH-cam channel. In order to save up for this trip however, I was doing some freelance video production work at the end of last year.
This is a very helpful travel tips to those who arr planning to visit The Philippines 🇵🇭 I just hope both local & foreign tourists will be responsible for reducing the trash especially single use plastics 🚫👍
Also.. I'm from Cebu but i've never even gone to Camiguin and Siquijor. Currently living in the middle east for work, but when i go back home i'm definitely going to use your itinerary of the MBCS region for a quick home vacation! lol
hi, video is super cool, as we planning our trip, are you able to advice how you booked ongoing accommodation , was it spontaneous day after day or did you pre book, if yes where did you pre book ? the same with flights ?
Great 30Day plan or when you land in Manila in the airport go to the immigration office and spend 30 mins. To have it extended to 60 days so you won't be rushing around.
£3056 in 55 days in Philippines!WOOW😯 THAT IS ABOUT $3800 u.s dollars ,I could have split those 55 days in three country at least like 18 days in each countries. But as long as people feel good about in what they are doing it will be a good experience travelling
55 days for $3,894 USD?! That is CHEAP!!! Bet there was a lot of hustling going on with accommodations and transportation to get it that low. I need at least $5k coz I don't do hostels.
Sometimes if your lucky you can have a 1 peso ($.01886) fare flight from Cebu Pacific but without baggage. Nature adventure is some area is just free all you have to do is explore and skip those some touristy Area.
If you want to save on food expenses, visit the local grocery/bakery/palengke. Stock up on some fruits/bread/coffee/juice/beer. Eat an early meal or brunch in your hotel so you only have to eat out once a day.
Another amazing video, the content is getting better and better each time. very structured and detailed and thats just full on amazing! You are the youtuber thats making me get out of my comfort zone and go on my first solo backpacking trip this september. Im going to sri lanka do you advice me to go and explore it for my first time or should i save my money for a better place?
The effort you've put into the graphics in this video! Best TH-camr EVER
😭😭 thank you it was a lot of effort 😅
you could say... she went bananas on the presentation =)
Yep definitely agree
that's such an extensive summary of expenses! i'm extremely impressed.
😅 thanks! I have a very extensive spreadsheet of my whole trip 🤓
I am a Filipino American. I would never have guessed that I will get some good information from Londoner
on how to travel the Philippines. Thanks, that was good.
Haha we're not completely useless 😉
This is literally the best video ever! Could you do this with Australia, I know it’s very different but with options of travel routes! 😊😊
Wow you've put so much effort and detail into this video! I'm sure many people will find this extremely helpful! 👍
I did indeed, I hope so 😊😊
May the algorithm gods bless you, you’re saving my life for this trip!! Thank you SO much.

Right?! 😜

The moment you are travelling in South America for the last 7 month but you can't wait to go to the philipines😇
Haha always the case! Hope you're enjoying South America!
Watching your video series I want to go to the Philippines so bad!
But diving is a must ;)
Diving is deffo one of the best bits 😍
Excellent recap! Thank you very, very much. This will be really helpful.

If I may ask, do you have a job to fund these trips or are you living solely on sponsors and revenues from TH-cam?
I'm currently full-time with my TH-cam channel. In order to save up for this trip however, I was doing some freelance video production work at the end of last year.

Deffo! So many amazing spots right on your doorstep 😍
Wow good info
The best country for foriegner vloggers no one and only my country.
Love your video! New subscriber here. I’m from the Philippines hehe ♥️
I'm only half way through..but this is unreal. Thanks.
Very good video
🤓🤓
Total over the top. you don't need £3000 pounds to travel in the Philippines for only 55 days.
What time of year did you go? I’m thinking April/may but that’s the start of rainy season
hi, video is super cool, as we planning our trip, are you able to advice how you booked ongoing accommodation , was it spontaneous day after day or did you pre book, if yes where did you pre book ? the same with flights ?
Red horse... yeee haw
😅🍻
Great 30Day plan or when you land in Manila in the airport go to the immigration office and spend 30 mins. To have it extended to 60 days so you won't be rushing around.
Didn't realise you could do this in the airport on arrival! That's good to know!
Girl, this video is amazing, thank you very much.
Such a helpful video!! For your visa did you extend it while you were in the Philippines or were you able to sort it out in the UK beforehand? Thanks!
You inspired me to travel around my country. Done with Bohol, Cebu, Palawan. Thank you.
🤩🤩
Just found your channel. Couldn’t have been better timing !! 😊✈️
Woooop 🙌🏼🙌🏼🤩 welcome Jess!
very informative and funny. Love the high pitch voice over...do that more please :) And, as always a great video!
😅😅 noted, I'll bring her in more often 😉
You have one of the best channels!! So much information yet so well explained!! Amazing girl💕☀️
Thank you 😭😭
Not related but do you need a drivers license to rent a motor scooter?? How does that work?
will be nice this info on every destination..
Nobody breaks it down like Christiane... 🤗🤗
You got that right Trent 😉❤️
True hehe
This budget is very realistic. This is so helpful even for us local travellers! Thank you so much for this!
Pleasure ❤️❤️
this video was amazing
Thanks 🤓
There really was so much effort put into this video, it’s awesome! Thanks so much for all the info!!
How did you stay more than 30 days? Don't you have to get a visa?
Woeepp woepp a new video!!🙌🏼🎉
Woooop 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Amazing style of video!!!!
£3056 in 55 days in Philippines!WOOW😯 THAT IS ABOUT $3800 u.s dollars ,I could have split those 55 days in three country at least like 18 days in each countries. But as long as people feel good about in what they are doing it will be a good experience travelling
But if I only spent 18 days in the Philippines, I wouldn't have been able to visit as many amazing islands as I did 😅
55 days for $3,894 USD?! That is CHEAP!!! Bet there was a lot of hustling going on with accommodations and transportation to get it that low. I need at least $5k coz I don't do hostels.
Thank u for the effort urrrrr amazing!!!! ❤❤❤

You are such an inspiration to me and many others! Just keep that in mind. We love you Christianne ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just 1 word, Thankyou!
Pleasure 🤓
is it hard to extend the 30 day visa to 59 days?
You must go south of Manila. It's where diving is. And yeah it will be much cheaper. You can commute there too.
I'm at a lost for those for 4 dislikes!
