INSTEAD OF BALI…

Bali is a place on everyone’s bucket list right now! The country is breathtaking and it is easy on the wallet…but if you’re looking for something with slightly smaller crowds, check out Palawan or Cebu in the Philippines.

The Landscapes and activities are incredibly similar to Bali, and it’s equally as cheap! I was checking out beach resorts in these areas and they start as low as $50 a night for a basic beachside hotel, and ran up to about $200-$400 a night for a luxury all inclusive. There were many options in between as well!

I mean, look at how blue that water is!! Save this for later!!
