Seven Sisters Cliffs from Central London by Public Transport

posted in Beach Bumming, Beach Love, Budget Travel, City Escape, Travel, UK travel by lazylykee on

Disclaimer: Backdated post. This trip was last summer days after the first lockdown in the UK was lifted.

We were looking for just a day hike from central London so the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs is a perfect choice because it’s just around 2 hours by train. Based on our online research and hassling our friends who had been there, we gathered there are different ways to go there based on the level of activity you’re after.

posted in Budget Travel, City Escape, Couchsurfing, Solo Travel, Travel by lazylykee on

It had been a year since this backpacking trip that was very special for me. It had been a year since I wrote a three-part post about the trip, one for each country. I was supposed to write a fourth part but never wrote it. My sister hasn’t finished our travel video yet.

But anyway, I decided to write a 3-part post again. This post, as the first of the three, will be a summary of our itinerary for three countries. Click the respective links to read details of my adventures in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.

Bantayan Island: Malaya Lang, Hindi Sawi

posted in Beach Bumming, Beach Love, Budget Travel, Couchsurfing, Travel by lazylykee on

I admit I only knew about Bantayan Island because of the movie Camp Sawi. When I saw how lovely the place was, I told myself I’ll definitely visit this place. The last time I was in Cebu, I was about to go there but some typhoon came and I was told the boat operation was cancelled. I was stuck in Cebu City for a few days and was “sawi” to go to Bantayan.

Moreover, I discovered there was a boat from the island to Estancia, a fact that made it more accessible to me. So after the last-minute event that had me packing my bag to Cebu, I tried to squeeze in Bantayan in my itinerary. But, I was informed that the boat operation to Estancia was cancelled and my Couchsurfing host also cancelled, so that’s the reason I decided to settle with Moalboal. But then again, kung sinuswerte ka nga naman, I received the payment for a writing gig I did so I went, “What the heck! Let’s go to Bantayan!” Continue reading “Bantayan Island: Malaya Lang, Hindi Sawi” →

Due to some last-minute circumstances, I was off to Cebu with little planning. Well, I was there for an exam but then of course, I didn’t want to miss the chance to explore Cebu beaches which was something I kept on postponing the few times I went there.

So, why Moalboal? Apart from thinking it’s once of the closest to Cebu City, I found a cheap hostel there which is close to the beach. Pretty simple decision making, right? Continue reading “Moalboal: Chasing Sea Turtles and Sunsets” →

Malaysia-Singapore-Indonesia Trip for 28 Days for less than P50,000 All In: Part 3- Bali, Indonesia

posted in Beach Bumming, Beach Love, Budget Travel, Couchsurfing, Dream, Life Lessons, Travel by lazylykee on

Note: I’ve written a comprehensive itinerary about the whole trip in the post 3 Asian Countries, 28 Days, and a P48K Budget All In.

I mentioned in my previous post that I met a Filipino couple back at a hostel in Singapore. We learned they just finished the Indochina leg of their trip with Malaysia as their last destination. They’d be traveling for three weeks all in all.

At the back of my mind, I was jealous. Indochina was really my goal so I can visit my friends in Laos but eventually, my travel plan changed. And wow! Three weeks! That’s something. Until I realized, oh, I was just one week in on my own travel schedule. Doing the math, I swallowed, the thrill of 20 more days of traveling hasn’t quite seeped in yet.

Malaysia-Singapore-Indonesia Trip for 28 Days for less than P50,000 All In: Part 2- Singapore

posted in Budget Travel, City Escape, Couchsurfing, Life Lessons, Travel by lazylykee on

Note: I’ve written a comprehensive itinerary about the whole trip in the post 3 Asian Countries, 28 Days, and a P48K Budget All In.

My sister and I, being in Malaysia for five days, were shocked with the prices in Singapore. Maybe it was an overstatement but we laughed at ourselves for not restraining from eating too much in Malaysia. We were a bit downhearted when we realized we will not have that much liberty in tasting Singaporean food because we think they’re too expensive.

***This thought was because we first set foot at Arab Street where we stayed at a hostel for one night. We discovered some cheap finds somehow after settling in.

So! On to the #PAMILYAgoals part of my trip in Singapore.

Summary: One day exploration with my sister, then three days with our parents (no, they don’t work in Singapore), and three days alone time before heading back to Kuala Lumpur for my Bali flight.
