Based on pengalaman diatas dan actual expense, sebenarnya bisa dilihat kalau budget kita agak irit hehehe, tapi selain hotel/hostel kurang oke, yg lainnya ga irit kok, minum pet bottle setiap saat, minum wine bbrp kali, makan selalu resto (eh ada deng, makan sandwich), makan eskrim sehari 2x =D
Kalau ada kesempatan lagi, ini yg akan diubah dan bbrp tips aku hehehe..
- Spend more di kota kecil daripada kota besar
- Agak terlalu panas di May ahir itu :) choose better one tp tetep non-peak season
- Never go to Geneva - so boring
- Venice is somehow overrated - tp ya susah jg untuk ga pergi karena itu tersohor sekali
- Spend more in nicer hotel - say no to hostel/dorm, say yes to B&B, better if u can afford to stay in hotel
- Food - never think of irit dalam makan, karena resto disana harganya mirip2 kecuali mau makan sandwich terus. Kita ga irit dan makan apa yg kita mau :) bayangkan kita sibuk cari2 resto murah sampe jalan keliling abisin waktu, sayang kan?
- Italy - Milan & Rome itu yah just another city (except for Vatican) so better to go to smaller town in cost of Italy, macam Cinque Terre hehehe
- lastly, kalian harus tau tipikal traveller macam apakah kalian? jangan pernah ikutin agenda dari tour agent dimana mereka akan ke Pisa Tower, Eifell Tower, Titlis, Museum X, Y, Z, Toko Ginseng (oops, Korea ya it?), Milan, etc etc. Belom tentu tersohor itu berarti bagus loh ya, yg pasti dia mahal karena uda di serbu oleh para turis (trust me, most turis adalah Indian dan Chinese traveller). Kenali apakah kalian tipe traveller yg suka sama : museum dan seni, alam dan pemandangan, shopping and splurge, love to stay in nice resort and enjoy its facilities, fun and adventurous atau tipikal yg "yang penting gw pernah pergi ke yg beken2 semua" =D once decided then focus :)
