How Our Barkada Visited Apo Island and Siquijor for Just ₱2,560 Each

Contributed by Hey Miss Adventures!

We did a quick trip to Negros Oriental and Siquijor over the long weekend, along with a few friends.

Before I get in to the details of the actual trip, here’s an overview of our expenses. We went to a fiesta in Dauin, Negros Oriental so we saved nearly two days’ worth of meals for five people. Awesome, no?

I’m excited about sharing photos from our trip but in the mean time, here’s our itinerary + budget for you to devour.

Itinerary and Expenses

Key takeaways

• Expenses go much lower when travelling in groups
• Riding public transportation might be more challenging when travelling with a certain number of people
• We saved money because of the fiesta so we splurged on our lunch on the last day
• Travelling in a group means that a person sometimes have to pay for the fees (to be paid by the members later on) but tracing all those expenses at the end of the day can be difficult. Instead, we used a travel+finance app on Android (made by one of my friends who went with us on this trip) to make paying each other easier.

That’s it. I hope you tune in during the next couple of days for more in-depth posts + photos of our trip.

Happy travels!
