The Trail
BLUNDERFEATS.com
Ubud is a tourist trap. Tana Toraja is almost as bad
Tours will put a dent in your budget
Everything requires entrance fees, live with it. Keep in mind, there’s bule tax
Be very selective in the places you want to go to, and the things you want to do
Research ahead of time to avoid getting scammed, and to know the cheapest way to go from one place to another
Don’t be shy to ask, especially fellow travellers. Befriend locals
Take advantage if you pass as a local
DIY as much as you can. LEARN TO SCOOTER
FINDINGS SUGGESTIONS
Tours, Transits, Accommodations and Food are the biggest expenses
BLUNDERFEATS.com
If you have it in you, hitchhike (I don’t have it in me)
FINDINGS SUGGESTIONS
Tours, Transits, Accommodations, and Food are the biggest expenses
Give Couch Surfing a try
Warungs are cheaper, and most of the time, tastier
Moving city to city are a pain for the wallet
Jump off cities: Jakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar
Control spendings in jump off cities. You’re there for transit, nothing else
BLUNDERFEATS.com
FINDINGS SUGGESTIONS
Going for food/drinks in a group can can drive you to spend. Also, control the alcohol
Brief friends that you’re on a budget ahead of time. Plan and prioritize drinking occasions. There’s no shame in bringing a flask
Giving in to any emotions sets you up to going off-budget
If you’re lonely, talk to people. If you don’t like a place, leave. If it’s hot, go to an air-conditioned place. DON’T SPEND ON FRIVOLOUS STUFF. You’ll regret it later. But if your self control is particularly low, unleash yourself (and you wallet) in a non-tourist place

Don’t give in to feelings. Warung food is good enough Proper Food
Bules (white people) get charged more in restaurants, especially in tourist spots such as Tana Toraja and Ubud. If you look like a local, take advantage
Even the smallest restaurants, or the corner eateries in Ubud charge tax. There is no standard rate as there really is no tax. It’s more like service charge
Warung food can cost as low as IDR13,000, and tops at IDR50,000 per food. If you’re worried about bad stomach, always bring charcoal pills
