Travelling has been part of me ever since but I only became addicted to it after my first backpacking experience. After the Klement Backpacking and Ministry, I right away searched online for my next destination. My childhood best friend, Wella, agreed to be my accomplice and companion. As early as September, I've already booked promo airline tickets to Kuala Lumpur.
Many are interested in travelling but lack information on how to go about it. I'd like to go into detail on how our travel went to help novice travelers like me.
Here is my original plan and itinerary. I came up with the OSLOB--KUALA LUMPUR--SINGAPORE itinerary by combining ideas from different blogs online. Thanks to fellow travelers for sharing the info. In travelling, it's important to plan ahead to save time, effort and money. My friend Regin said, "Travelling without planning is like sex without foreplay." (LOL! Can't relate)

BUDGET
***We tried hard to be on a budget trip. We tried hard to be frugal without compromising cleanliness and comfort. (Yes, I have OCD but I tried hard to overcome it while traveling. LOL!)
***I converted it to Philippine peso for your convenience. I made sure that's the maximum you'd be spending. Thank me if you'd have extra money. =)
