I usually set a daily budget of US$30–40 when backpacking around Southeast Asia. Staying in hostels and using public transportation helps me keep costs low while still having a comfortable trip.
@firman_330 That sounds like a very realistic budget! I'm also planning to stay in hostels and rely on public transportation to save money. Thanks for sharing your experience!
One of the best ways to save money is by traveling during the off-season. Flights, accommodation, and even some attractions are usually much cheaper, and there are fewer crowds.
@yinameiling I completely agree! Lower prices and fewer tourists make the trip much more enjoyable. I'll definitely keep that in mind when planning my next adventure.
I save the most money by eating at local markets and small family-owned restaurants instead of tourist spots. The food is cheaper, more authentic, and often tastes much better.
@garyshu That's a great tip! Saving money while enjoying authentic local cuisine sounds like the perfect combination. Thanks for the recommendation!
