Travelers are now more practical in choosing the right accommodation. Instead of spending their money in a luxury hotel, they look for an affordable rooms in hostel, motel or even transient home. Well, hotels can really exhaust your travel funds more rapidly than most other vacation expenses.

As a traveler, I always make sure I maximize my budget. I draw up a budget table with possible projections on my travel expenses. For my accommodation, I look for something cheap yet comfy. I give most of my time in travelling outdoor so I rather not spend to much for my room.

My college friends are not into camping. Most of the time, we choose to book cozy yet affordable room every time we go to the beach. They know me as backpacker who always like the DIY travel. This time, I let them try the life of a camper. I brought them in a resort in Zambales called Crystal Beach Resort.

Crystal Beach Resort is one of the top-choice surf resorts in the Philippines. The place is perfect for camping, surf lessons and team-building activities. We arrived in the resort before lunch. We we're welcomed with some accommodation which made up of natural materials.. The camping site is near the shoreline where colorful tents are being pitched. The camping area is also surrounded by pine trees.
