Travelogue Hanaa - Shazz & Feno Europe Trip 2016 (Part 1 - Budget)

Gosh I miss writing!
It's been three years eh. Bloggie mummy miss you :D

Okay let just proceed to the story, shall we?

Two years ago, me and Shazz both making promises to travel to Europe together, mainly London for WarnerBros Studio. End of last year, she mentioned about it and to my surprise, she still remembers! We started to survey around for the trip, however Ringgit goes weaker every day, causing us to put halt on our plan and instead of Europe, we planned for Japan + Korea trip end of year. 

Suddenly, something came up and we saw it as a sign to proceed with our old plan lol here goes our last minute travel plan! Flight ticket was quite expensive since we bought it last minute haha. Soooooo, nope I'm not going to publish it here. There's plenty of cheap tickets and routes, you just have to study!

We choose Emirates (so that we will get Halal in-flight foods, and transit at enormous Dubai Int Airport with facilities: water pipes & prayer room lol). Basically our routes went like this:

Kuala Lumpur - Dubai (Transit) - London - Paris - Bucharest, Romania - Dubai (Transit) - Kuala Lumpur

The currencies were so expensive I almost died =='' and it went stable again when we went home. Darn.

British Pound: 6.08
Euro: 4.72

I can't even look at latest currencies. It felt like huge betrayal T.T

Oh well, I'm doing this budget sheet plainly in case if I need it again someday (I believe there's always a room for my beloved London), but yes I'm not including my souvenirs budget too (I'm souvenir-holic. Trust me, the urge to buy something for me myself and other people are uncontrollable, you wouldn't understand you thrifty people! But I'm learning how to cut it lol)

You can always opt for cheaper accommodations, bring more foods from homeland, take bus instead of train to the other city/country etc. Depends on what kind of traveller you are, the budget can always be altered to suit your needs. 

Suit yourself and don't bash other people spreadsheet lol

Oh I miss travelling!
