This week Canada open its door to Filipinos for a visa free travel. So what is it for me? I just check the fare today via PAL and it cost me more than 3000 usd to booked a roundtrip ticket not to mention the taxes and fuel surcharges.

So for airlines alone I will be spending more than 200k pesos already. And a budget of $100-300 a day for accomodations and food. For lets say 2-3 weeks Canada travel. Although my cousin and sister lived there, its still costly to travel to Canada.

Budgeting $100 a day is already very tight knowing the fact that I can’t fully enjoy the travel without Luxury or doing something different. So I need add more like $100- 200 on it to pay for great activities for example Raptors, Mighty Ducks game or a Round of Golf.

It may sound quite easy but your living expense in a 1st world country should be more than $100 a day. To experience a regular tourist or add $100-200 budget into it make it a little more of a luxury on that trip for some tourist spots attractions.

My week F1 trip in UAE will cost almost half a million pesos. My World Cup trip in Rio almost cost the same. My week Gastro Thai trip cost 250k, Moto GP Malaysia 100k, Singapore GP 100k, HK disney 50k.

My several backpacker in Asian countries for 3-5 days only cost me 2Ok. Back then, It is so easy to travel if you have just the funds. While most of my trip were sponsored. It is always good to visit Canada either business or luxury trip. Not only to take selfies to those famous landmarks.

But mostly to create a mark and attend a very important event or business in that country. Like a regular Japanese, American or European when they visit Philippines. It means business or dominance, those tourist spots were just a second priority.
