compass Accommodations compass

Not sure why, but ever since our little mishap on a tiny island in Korea where we had to stay at Grandma’s House people always smile and ask “So where did you stay this time?”.

We aren’t always “budget” travelers and have stayed in some decent places over the years. Venetian Macau, Tara Angkor, Prince Park Towers in Japan, Orchard Road in Singapore and everyone knows I only stay in the Ibis when in Seoul. But we don’t usually splurge unless for a good reason; location, pool, special occasion etc. But, to make our budget work for 58 weeks we have to unfortunately stay in budget accommodations with less “splurges” then we’d like. We do look for a clean, bed-bug free accommodation usually in a central location, with a decent area to hang out and preferable with free wireless. A splurge must have a pool or it’s not usually worth it. And about 2 days a month I am desperate for air conditioning and my own bathroom. But we don’t always get what we want…sometimes we get nothing we’d like.

When I think back the ones that stand out in my mind they aren’t the most expensive or fanciest but the ones that have amazing views from a roof top patio, free breakfast that consisted of homemade banana pancakes or lovely owners of a ryokan that think it too cold for you to walk the 20 minutes to the temple and insist on driving you themselves. Booking hotels, especially budget is always a gamble.

I thought it’d be fun to keep track of our many, many, many “homes” over the next year or so. Just keep in mind that most hotels, guest houses, hostels etc. have different classes of rooms, we don’t always go for the cheapest and rarely go for the most expensive. If you have any questions or want more information on a place just email me.
