See what Sebastian from Romania says:
"Hello, Travel Budget Asia. Just want to thank you for all the advice. I plan to study in Ho Chi Minh City next year and the advice you are giving is like gold to me, nowhere on the internet I could find such good advice."
"Regards, Sebastian."
You might have already bought one of those high priced Asia travel guidebooks. I did as well.
Those books ARE informative but they're like the nosy old lady next door who keeps peering through the drapes and telling the neighbors all your secrets.
As soon as any Hotel, Restaurant or Tour Operator makes it into the vaulted pages of this Asia Travel Guidebook , or that Budget Asia Travel Book , they quickly raise their prices to meet the stampede of tourists that soon follow.
It's big money for the major Asia travel guidebooks and their clientele. Meanwhile you're stuck in a long line-up, paying premium costs and being herded to 'Recommended Attractions' and staying in 'Recommended Hotels'.
That's how I traveled Asia for years. Then I found myself in Shanghai, China at 1AM in the morning begging for a discount on a $50 / night room.
It was a youth hostel The Captain Hostel) that I had selected from the 'Budget Section' of my guidebook.
$50USD a night for a 'budget hotel'?
"No Discount!"' Fired the receptionist. "We now famous place!"
"Yes", I see. Page 138."
I walked out of there in a huff but the adrenaline helped me lug my huge backpack through the dark, cold streets.
I walked from from one Hostel to the next with that heavy bag strapped to my sore back.
It was a hard lesson but I found some of the most amazing, out of the way places on the streets of Shanghai during that early morning trek.
It wasn't until I took a wrong turn and got lost that I finally found a decent hotel. It had a clean bed, a toilet, heat and hot water.
It was a really nice little room and it was $12USD / night.
Of course, it was not listed in my Asia Travel Guidebook.
"Share and You'll Prosper"
Quoted by My Mother.
People need a website where they can gather useful information and advice about travel Asia from fellow adventurers who are not biased and are trying to sell you something.
We'll share everything we've learned during the past 7 years and numerous 11 block walks we've taken in cities throughout Asia.
