I've been looking up #Boracaytrip every day, and I got excited and took screenshots by myself.
I created 2 separate folders just for Boracay.
From the countless items in my shopping cart and wish list,
I carefully selected and pondered for days, bought and organized them repeatedly.
I finished packing my luggage and safely returned from my trip.
Fortunately, my flight was on T'way, so it wasn't canceled!!!!!
(TW139, TW140)
But…
Why do I feel like I shopped more than the airplane ticket price with extra fees? I feel like I wasted all my money lol.
To meet the T'way carry-on baggage limit of 10kg, I bought a new 20-inch Samsonite soft carry-on, already spending 100,000 won lol.
But I rationalized it, saying I got a good deal on the carry-on from the duty-free shop and that I did well.
Oh, and I need to buy a dedicated protective cover for it, right????
🔹At Kalibo Airport on the way back, they might weigh your luggage and charge you, so make sure you check the size and weight of the free carry-on baggage before you go!!
- T'way's carry-on baggage allowance is a total of 115cm and 10kg.

Discovery rashguard.. water leggings to prevent sun allergies.. new black cap.. (I bought them all new..)
Good thing I didn't buy Gentle Monster
I almost spent 280,000 won.
Before checking out the must-have items for Boracay and the activities you can book in advance,
.
.
Do you want to hear what I bought?
A tripod that extends to 130cm and can be used as a selfie stick
29,800 won
Yes, I already have a tripod for YouTube, but this one is said to be the longest bluetooth-enabled tripod available, so I bought it.
I took selfies with my boyfriend and even shot videos with it, a success!
I couldn't miss it!
Barrel Women Glow Crop Rashguard
37,100 won
Oh my~~ The color is so vibrant and pretty, and it's a crop top, so I feel like I can lose weight! I bought it.
I have a short neck, so I need to buy a square neck like that to make me look slim and pretty!!
But there's nothing like that, right? There's nothing like that, right? I rationalized it and bought it.
Oh, and by chance, I have a matching bikini bottom from Stylenanda that I bought a few years ago.
It's like a sign from heaven to wear them as a set.
Like the three sides of the pyramid, it's already destined.
That's why I got the shot of my life in Boracay.
AGNEL Black Swan Monokini
134,000 won
It's said to be the monokini that Han Seon-hwa wore in the drama "Alcohol City Woman".
The lines are so sleek, it just shapes your body and makes you look beautiful!!!! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
That kind of thing doesn't even go out of style.
Right, right.
Of course, of course.
The model photo above is my lock screen, a motivation for my diet, but I still order from Yogiyo while looking at it.
Even while looking at that, I ordered chicken, pizza, and Hong Kong Banjum, and I went to Boracay after ordering everything.
It's just a matter of willpower.
Everything is in the mind.
I realized that it's not about what I see.
Sparkling large transparent heart tube & arm tube
20,400 won & 9,400 won
Even though I sing the song "Infinity Pool" everywhere, I can't actually swim..
That's why I booked a room with access to the Henann Garden Pool on the 1st floor and Crystal Sands this time, so I bought 2 tubes to enjoy the hotel pool properly!
Honestly, the heart tube is for pictures, and the arm tube is for survival (when snorkeling at White Beach!!!)
He says he can just attach it to his arm,
But then you can't enjoy both, you idiot!
In the end, the heart tube got a hole right away and I couldn't retrieve it.
The arm tube was super useful though!!!!
They sell tubes in Boracay too, so I recommend buying them there to reduce luggage.
Silicone snorkeling gear set
19,600 won
Honestly, I wasn't very interested in water activities in resort areas.
I just wanted to enjoy traveling as a carefree wanderer, but my boyfriend is a water enthusiast.
A country boy.
So this is the first snorkeling gear I bought.
I comforted myself, saying that even if I didn't use it much in Boracay, I could use it in Korea.
But I got hooked on snorkeling and used it a lot!!!
There's only sand in front of White Beach, and if you snorkel there, you only see a few white fish occasionally~ :)
I recommend snorkeling at D'Mall Beach (sunset cruise, hopping tour with Korean agencies, or self-snorkeling in front of D'Mall Beach).
Travel Acrylic Topper Hologram
10,500 won
This is a hologram commemorative topper I bought as a surprise for my Instagram friend to brag about!
Hee hee, it's so pretty.
This was the only place that had the snorkeling icon highlighted that he likes, so I quickly checked out.
He loved it so much that he even took it with him when we went out to eat.
Gifts are something that makes the receiver happy and the giver happy in the process of preparing them.

And so on, clothes to wear for breakfast,
light sandals,
a dress to wear for dinner,
clothes to wear while walking around during the day,
crop backless tank tops,
tank tops to wear at Summer Place or Epic.
Oh,
aloe gel,
sheet masks,
Anna Sui perfume for potential bad smells in a hot country..
a small size air freshener to spray right after going to the bathroom because we share one with him..
I have a million lipsticks, but I bought a waterproof orange lipstick,
an iPhone waterproof case,
a Barrel dry bag.
I also bought extra contact lenses.

Philippine Travel Expenses Exchange Rate Tips
Always exchange in USD 100 bills!!!!! -> Then exchange for pesos in the Philippines (I was in Boracay).
Find your main bank or a place with a good exchange rate, 100% is best.
My boyfriend had never exchanged through Toss before, so he used the first 100% exchange rate bonus to complete the exchange.
Travel expenses?
An adult spends around 50,000 won per day.
You spend that much..? In the Philippines..? I thought so, but prices have gone up lately, and that's how much we spent.
We didn't eat anything expensive, but we still spent that much.
Exchange Rate Tips
The following are based on the default cash spending per person, so you should consider exchanging beforehand.
