If you are beach bums and don’t mind being off the beaten path, go for the Philippines! If you prefer the company of your fellow backpackers (no shame in that!) I’d look elsewhere! 🙂

Diving for sure!! and maybe a few temples but generally we are more beach bums:) The only thing I was worried about in Philippines was the expense from hopping around so much but I saw your travel breakdown and it doesn’t look so bad!

Hey Arianna! That is really tough to answer without knowing more about what you are looking to get out of this trip. Do you want to dive? Temple hop? What did you love most about your last trip to Thailand? There really is no right answer, it totally depends on your travel style/wishes! I’d have a hard time deciding between those destinations myself!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check out Hotel Solo one of these days.

Yes that was a little quirky, but I think it was more that there was a bathtub which for some reason had a showerhead and then also a nice rainhead shower!

Thanks for the tip! Maybe I’ll get a chance to check it out one of these days… I do love good wifi!

I know you’re the kind of girl who can appreciate a proper omelet station!

And I genuinely love the whole hospitality industry… I think its fun to see what the competition is in an area and figure out room for improvement! I could be a hotel mystery shopper 🙂

I’m definitely a hotel junkie… I’d be happy to live in them even at home!
