Travel tips for other Voyagers interested in budget world travel: It’s good to have a travel book like Lonely Planet handy for maps, information, accommodations, and places to eat in case there is no internet to do your research. South East Asia is a great place to travel on a budget and see multiple countries. Be flexible and open to suggestions from fellow travelers and locals for places to see and people to meet.
