$40 for a trip in 🇵🇭 Batanes, Philippines

#asiabudgetchallenge
Batanes feels like a different country — think Ireland meets the Pacific. Rolling green hills, stone houses, crashing waves, and zero crowds. I biked along cliffside roads, visited lighthouses, and stayed in Ivatan-style homestays. The people are kind and the vibe is peaceful. There’s no nightlife, no stress — just fresh air and endless views.

📍Destination: Batanes, Philippines
💸Rough Budget: $40/day (inn, food, tricycle tours)
💡Top Tip: Book flights well in advance — they’re limited and often pricey due to weather.
