We visit Cebu City, Philippines and have a full day of adventure riding jeepneys, exploring the Basilica Complex of Santo Nino, and visiting Magellan's Cross, Fort San Pedro, Mango Square, Mactan, and many other spots. We also ate a ton of delicious food, including pungko pungko, and we ate at the famous Larsian BBQ near Mango Square. Things got a little bit wild when we decided to buy a bottle of local rum, take a post-lunch break with some locals, and chat about life in Cebu. With the help of my guide, Paul, I saw so much of Cebu City in one day with only 20 bucks, and made this the best episode of 20 Dollar Traveling yet! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How I spent my money in one whole day exploring Cebu City: ($20 USD = ~1,000 PHP) Hostel - 388 pesos Fried bananas - 12 pesos 3 Jeepney rides @ 7 pesos each = 21 pesos Fort San Pedro entrance fee - 30 pesos Ferry ride to Mactan - 13 pesos Lunch - 90 pesos Bottle of rum - 50 pesos Pungko Pungko snack - 16 pesos Tricycle ride - 10 pesos 2 bags of water @ 1 peso each = 2 pesos Larsian BBQ extravaganza - 323 pesos San Miguel beer - 35 pesos TOTAL = 1,000 pesos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where I stayed: Tr3ats Hostel This hostel has an excellent location, close to Mango Square, and it's very affordable for budget travelers. Also, even though Cebu has quite a bit of poverty, I felt very safe at this hostel and would recommend it to both families and solo travelers alike.

I'm originally from Dallas, TX, but I've been living and traveling in Asia since 2013. After graduating from university in 2011 and working a few unfulfilling jobs, I saved enough money to move to Asia and work as a teacher for a few years. That opportunity allowed me to travel around and experience new foods and cultures, and ignited a passion for blogging and making videos. Now I travel full-time and make videos with the goal that I can encourage YOU to pursue your own dream of overseas traveling and living.
