Philippines Travel Cost


Cost Breakdown


Ok, let's talk about money! I always keep track of my expenses when I travel (I use a budget app). I have decided to share the cost of my  3 weeks of travel to the Philippines (2019). Note that all prices are in Canadian Dollars (currency converter). Here's my breakdown:

Hotel


During my entire trip, I always stayed in private rooms (no dorms). So you could save more money if you do. As well the cost was shared with a travel partner. If you are a solo traveller, double this cost.
  • Total: $188
  • Average : $9/night

Transportation


I have always used local busses, not the "express" (not always quicker) tourist bus. Note that I didn't take any taxi, I usually walk.
  • Total: 124$
  • Average: 5-6$/day 

Food


I avoided expensive restaurants and ate in street markets. Sometimes, I bought veggies and fruits.
  • Total: $144
  • Average: $6-7/day

Drinks


The cost doesn't include alcohol (I don't drink any) but does include fresh press juices.
  • Total: $41
  • Average: $2/day

Sightseeing


Mostly on Palawan like the different tours from El Nido. 
  • Total: $185
  • Average: $8-9/day

Other


All the ones that don't fit in the categories above (soap and laundry for example)
  • Total: $3
  • Average: $0-1/day

Grand Total: $685 ~$33/day
