It's so amazing how everyone have
different interest in life.
One might loves flowers, cars, properties while the others might love stocks, golds and etc. Being me, travelling healed my soul and soothed my heart.
That’s how travel mean to me. H.U.G.E. The reason why I will never tolerate with people questioning me spending my money on this purpose.π‘
I don’t fancy jewelries nor
heels. I barely wear a watch and flats are my go to in my entire life so I don’t find
travel as “waste of money”. If we’re in the same boat, I’m totally delightful
to share info from my own experiences.
Can't reach that 30 countries
before 30 target, but I believe rather than doing that Allah wants me to
cherish every countries. Quality over quantity. Always. Quantity here meaning
enough time to explore and discover not “touch n go” or the most suitable term
here is “reach n stamp” (passport, geddit geddit).π
I even vow to myself to travel
at least once per every quarter (12 months in a year = 4 quarters). Well, this
is the least I can do to promise myself (matches my pocket lol). However, just
in case, I have extra money/budget I would go for more!
To cut things short, my first
concern before I start to plan for travel is accommodation.
Yeap, I know, the priority
might differ according to individual. If you find this info beneficial. I’m so
glad to help but if not, feel free to skip this post. Hihihi. π
So please, download, sign up and use
AGODA.
Here are lists of reasons why I choose
AGODA compare to other sites available:
1) The range of accommodation starting from
luxury, medium and backpack style. You may choose it based on your budget. Cool
right? Indeed life is a choice.
2) Neutral party: AGODA doing good by being
neutral to user and owner. They will expose both good and bad reviews which
truly helps when we want to make a decision.
3) Payment method: I love the fact that they
give you options for debit or credit card knowing that not everyone have CC.
The best part, free cancelation until certain date closer to arrival. This
option is the best, especially due to the uncertainty of these days. Screw you
Cik Corona. Hence, you won’t have to spend a dime to a holiday that you aren’t able
to go. Options. I love options.
4) Effective customer careline: They have remarkable
staff to handle any issue. They provide solutions and suggestions not just
throwing you trouble.
5) Best offer: So far, whenever I tried to compare
on direct booking with hotels vs Agoda. AGODA is cheaper. #wisetraveller
6) Points system: I love collecting
points/cash back scheme. This is so cool and worthy. You can collect points for
each booking. The highlight is smooth redemption is the key.
So yeah, the first priority for me is to check on accommodation. Good accommodation provide good security. Travelling while feeling safe is precious.
We’ll discuss on transportation/flight in the next post.
Till then, stay safe and stay strong.
Packing for travel is headache, I envy those who travel light. I don't have the courage. |
p/s: just in case AGODA stumble upon this post, feel free to contact me. In case we can collaborate on things. Hahaha jk jk.π
