Very informational!
I got more inspired by you!
thanks! keep writing and travelling!
Hi Aleah,
I am also dreaming of coming to Europe, one day.
May I ask, how much was your total expenses when you went to Europe for 70 days?
Another, will it be more helpful (for visa approval) if I have traveled to other countries before I apply for Schengen Visa?
Thank you so much!
Your reply is much appreciated!

@ Hannah: I don’t have the exact amount, but for 70 days, it was less than 3,000 euros, including the return ticket of more than $1,300. And yes, it’s important for the embassy to see that you’ve traveled abroad before. Better start now before planning your own Eurotrip
Hello Aleah, This is Peter, just out of curiosity, would you mind travelling to Africa, we do have amazing scenery that you will enjoy watching. I dare you to travel to Kenya for example, you surely will enjoy…Thanks though…
@ Peter: If I have a sponsor, I could. It’s so expensive to go there from the Philippines! Would love to go on a safari.
Aleah, I would LOVE to go to Africa (wala lang may nagpost kse). And do the Marco Polo route. And to South America! December is so far away. Told ya I’ve been itching to travel the world. We should make plans. [You won't be solitary but I won't get in your way.]
@ Karenina: Africa’s in my bucket list too. Too expensive for me at the moment, but someday, who knows?

Don’t miss out on India! Kerala, India, or north-east India are great options too!!
