Ah. Paris. Out of all the places that we have visited, Paris is my all-time favorite. It has that beauty and charm that just captures you.

BF and I went to Paris way back in 2014. It was a love at first sight. I told myself that someday, I’ll go back and see Paris again. And we did!

It was the last leg of our Europe trip in 2018. It was the icing on the cake. If you haven’t read our adventures in Czech Republic, Portugal, and Switzerland, click here, here, and here.

Because we spent most of our vacation time in Portugal and Switzerland, we only had two full days left in Paris. This wasn’t a biggie because this was our second time, and we already explored most of the tourist spots that we wanted to visit back in 2014.

Let’s talk about Switzerland – home of the famous Swiss Alps, world-class chocolates and cheeses, and one of the most picturesque places on Earth.

My BF and I had the privilege of visiting this country recently. And let me tell you, we were blown away. Not just by the beauty of the place, but also the astronomical prices of everything! Switzerland should also be known for its $12 BIG MAC and $9 slice of pizza! YES! It was that expensive.

But with research and budgeting months before the trip, your budget pal and Switzerland got along just fine. 🙂

After enjoying the sights of Prague, we flew to one of the oldest cities in Europe: Lisbon, Portugal. In case you missed my Prague review, click here.

We arrived at the Humberto Delgado International Airport at around 9-ish in the morning. We were surprised that we actually didn’t have to go customs. So, we went directly to the taxi lane, and went straight to the Empire Lisbon Hotel, which by the way, is an excellent hotel. It is close to the metros and only fifteen to twenty-minute walk to downtown Lisbon. Aside from that, the hotel offers free breakfast. If you are on a budget, like us, free full breakfast is a great deal.

Hello, there! It’s been a while.

After a busy and a long semester at school, I am back.

Recently, right after my finals, BF and I traveled to Europe, again. It was our third time. In case you want to check our first two Europe trips, click here and here.  Just like any of our other trips, WE HAD A GREAT TIME! Big part of it is staying within our budget of $2000 per person for everything (flights, hotels, food, etc.), and carefully planning our itinerary.

Hello, budget pals! Aimissshoooo. I just finished yet another semester, and I am back. I am picking up where I left off.

In case you missed, click here to get a recap of the first part of our NZ-AU trip. The first part was mainly about our experiences in the South Island. If you ask me, South Island in New Zealand is a piece of heaven on earth. Just stunning!

For part 2, reminisce with me what happened in the North Island of New Zealand, and in Sydney.
