Beach trips on a budget the Filipino way with 3 travel tips |
We are glad to be sharing them to you, but we can't say these Filipino traditions or Filipino ways of doing beach picnics, and travel tips work for everyone. That is just a little disclaimer. :)
If they do work for you on your budget beach trips and budget vacations on the beach, it would be wonderful if you tag #munchtrip in your social media posts. We would be glad to see you find our tips helpful.
Without further adieu, here are MunchTrip's travel tips on how to do a beach trip on a budget and to go on cheap beach getaways.
TRAVEL TIP #1: BE FLEXIBLE WITH TRANSPORTATION

Riding on Philippine buses can be cheap, but for bigger groups renting a van might be more economical. |
I remember back when we were younger, hiring a jeepney for the barkada* is the Filipino way to go.
TRAVEL TIP #2: DRY OVER SAUCY. SOY SAUCE OVER TOMATO.
We love Filipino food cooked at home. We crave and favor our grandma's adobo, mama's pancit, and papa's kinilaw. So to have a beach trip on a budget, we tend to do potlucks.
"Dry over saucy" basically means pick dry or fried food over ones that have sauce. This, we got from a Quality Assurance for Food expert. Sauces can spoil faster because of the liquid content.

Filipino food is the best. But for trips, remember DRY over SOY SAUCE over TOMATO SAUCE. |
"Soy sauce over tomato." If you must have sauces, avoid tomato-based and dairy-based sauces as well. The acid content might make your tummy react badly. When we travel, our stomach can produce more acid than normal.
TRAVEL TIP #3: BRING UTENSILS. DON'T BUY.
Although it may be easier to throw away disposable cups and utensils, it is cheaper to bring reusable ones that you may have already lying in your cabinet. You could easily spend 150PHP (3 USD) which you could have spent to buy over a kilo of chicken pieces, and cornstarch to make Baked or Fried Chicken (like the one I made for the photo above).
Besides, mama's Tupperware can take a break from staying in the cupboard for four months since Christmas.

Luh!!!
ReplyDeleteKakauwi lang namin ng friends ko last night from 3 nights and four days of travel sa Cagayan Valley. We also did the second and third tips but later did we realized na sana pala we rent a van, mas tipid and accessible :).
As for us we stayed 2 nights there so we brought tents. Mas enjoyable kasi malapit sa shore and mas tipid din. You don't need to rent an Inn or room. Plus, the ambiance of being in a tent gives different kind of joy (for me he he).
Looking forward for more interesting travel tips like this one.
