Rainy days are here again!
You know what that means: the weather is much more unpredictable. but you ought to never let less sunshiny skies rain on your parade. The rainy season is when Vins and I love going on road trips with our friends!
This post is brought to you by Pepsi.[/caption] For budget travelers like us, the rainy season is a great time to explore. Some destinations are much better during this time: waterfalls are grander, beaches are less crowded, and wildlife is much more alive! the best part: It’s off season! hotel and resort stays are much cheaper!
Don’t let the season stop you from exploring! We’ve asked some of our travel blogger friends for some of their road trip route recommendations and we’ll be sharing that in this post.
But before that, some essential suggestions to turn your road trip into an awesome journey by making sure you get your money’s worth.
The more, the merrier, the cheaper. You get the full experience when the barkada is complete! It’s also a lot less expensive because you get to split the costs of everything. In general, the cost of family rooms and dorm rooms divided among the group is lower than a double room. At restaurants, “for sharing” meals split among the group costs much less than individual orders.
Ask for the hotel’s policy on extra beds. many hotels allow extra beds for a minimum fee! You can take advantage of this to save on hotel expenses.
Buy food, drinks, and toiletries before leaving. They are typically much more expensive if you purchase at the resort or hotel. You’ll save a great deal if you bring your own provision.
Watch out for potential savings! even small discounts matter. They add up over time. Hotel-booking sites often offer deals like totally free breakfast during off-season. Take it! When it concerns drinks, a road trip won’t be the same without Pepsi. choose a 1.5L bottle of Pepsi, which costs only P38! That’s a P10 drop from its typical price and much lower than other brands. Every peso your barkada saves collectively can be used to fund other activities along the way!
Toptan satın al! It will help bring down cost. instead of purchasing individual sunscreens, just purchase a big one and share. get 1.5L bottles of Pepsi and just pour into your own reusable cups! It’s much more sulit that way.
Without even more ado, here are some recommended road trip itineraries, as picked by travel bloggers! The first seven can be done from Manila.

Ada Wilkinson of travel in Boots recommends Zambales especially to students. “It ought to be on top of their list,” she writes.
Zambales has a lot to offer. Subic remains a good choice. Potipot has always been an open secret.

LAGUNA road trip ITINERARY
Perfect for residents of: Manila, southern Luzon
Asta Alvarez of WanderGeneration.com champions Laguna in this list! Laguna is one of the provinces we often neglect partly because its edges aren’t laced with pearly beaches. Joke’s on us because paradise isn’t always made of sand and saltwater. much of Laguna is practically untouched, still covered with dense rainforests concealing several spectacular waterfalls. numerous of its historic towns keep numerous pieces of its marvelous past. and its cuisine showcases some of the best of the southern Tagalog region.

Punta Bulata Resort Cauayan, Negros Occidental
Bacolod City, üç şey için çok iyi bilinenler – tatlılar, tavuk inazal ve Masskara Festivali. Ancak şehir ve negros’un geri kalanında yemek ve festivallerinden çok daha fazlası var. Negros Occidental, Beyaz Kumla Strewn Shores ile bağlanmış, sokakları tarihi binalarla dolaştı ve adaları zengin doğal kaynaklarla kutsandı. İnsanlarının insanlarla tanışmak için onur duyduğumdan bazıları olduğunu söylememek, her seferinde Visayas’ın bu mücevherine bir gezi yaparak, her seferinde unutulmaz bir deneyim.
Philippinebeaches.org’un vinsleri için, Negros Occidental fantastik bir yol gezisi varış noktasıdır! İşte örnek bir rota:
