TRAVELING THROUGH SOUTHEAST ASIA SOON?
Welcome to Backpacker Savings, a site dedicated to helping you save
money while backpacking or doing long-term travel. If you've found
yourself on this page, odds are you you'll be taking off for Southeast
Asia soon. If so, great! Traveling is one of the most fun and
enlightening things a person can do. Unfortunately, when you arrive in
a foreign country you have no point of reference beyond your guidebook
and most likely no idea what you're doing. Tens of thousands of people
make the same mistakes and throw away hundreds of dollars every year
when traveling Southeast Asia. It is this unavoidable, wasteful, and
negative side of travel we'd like to help you avoid. Pai, Thailand As
anyone who has traveled knows, getting ripped off and making mistakes
is part of the experience. Unfortunately, these very things cause
stress, ill feelings towards the locals, and a variety of other
generally negative feelings. It is for this reason we developed the
Backpacker Savings Guide series. Our guides offer highly practical
tips that can save you money on a day-to-day basis while traveling
Southeast Asia. Further, these aren't tips pulled off the Internet or
re-phrased from Lonely Planet; every one of the tips in here comes
from a mistake I or someone I was close to made while traveling. So,
if you would like to save money and enjoy less stress while traveling
Southeast Asia, our _BACKPACKER SAVINGS GUIDE: SOUTHEAST ASIA_ e-book
was designed for you.
BELOW YOU WILL FIND EXAMPLES OF THE TIPS FOUND IN OUR GUIDE:

-------------------------
On top of this, all of our tips have been cross referenced with
Lonely Planet to ensure we are offering unique advice that you don't
already have. Only two of our tips can be found in Lonely Planet, and
we break down one of them in much more detail. Further, our tips are
not time sensitive; they are guaranteed to be relevant today,
tomorrow, and next year (given inflation in the area, the guide may
actually become _more_ valuable over time). But that's not all...
Our _BACKPACKER SAVINGS GUIDE: SOUTHEAST ASIA_ e-book was developed by
backpackers for backpackers. To save trees and cut down on weight in
your pack, we've transitioned our hard-copy guide into a PDF e-book!
No weight, no maps, no fluff, just money saving tips! But that's not
all... Mui Ne, Vietnam Included with our guide is the SOUTHEAST ASIA
