Say what?! Maltese travel couple shares tips on how to explore Asia on a €10 per day budget
This Maltese couple is living every travel junkie’s dream, travelling to the most gorgeous places around the globe. But it’s not just any kind of adventure. Meet Sarah and Shaun, the local couple who are successfully travelling around Asia on just a €10 per day budget. Go on...we're here for it.
“We have long agreed that what we both love doing most is setting off and exploring new places,” they start off in their latest Facebook post that shares their incredible experience. They started off visiting European countries and have now taken on the challenge of backpacking in Asia on a tight budget. “It’s not always an easy task, but we just love the challenge that comes with it,” they admit.
“For us travelling is rarely about sight seeing and ticking off lists. We love to experience cultures, go on exciting adventures and believe that the most memorable moments are the ones you spend with people and the experiences you have together.”
Tips about travelling on a budget
Sarah and Shaun have been going at it for quite some time, and the biggest question on our minds is – how? “Ever since we started travelling, we realized that spending little on each trip only means you’ll be able to go on your next one soon enough, until we eventually left for our big trip two years ago and travelled [around] Asia full time for 15 months on 10 euros per day.” Damn.
They also started a blog and have some fab tips on how to travel on a budget and tips on how to save for trips. Some of them include simple things like packing lunch for work as opposed to buying, carpooling and using public transport to save on fuel, looking out for sales when shopping for clothing and minimising the unnecessary items, and opting for free activities such as heading outdoors. Noted!
We're lowkey jelly, but we'll definitely take Sarah and Shaun's tips into consideration.
Happy travels!
