I travelled over 70 countries for fun and my work as a journalist. My favorite cities: Cape Town, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong and Paris. Im living in 3 cities at the same time now: Amsterdam, Bangkok and Manila. But my wish is to live in Sydney, because I think it is one of the most beautiful and convenient cities in the world and I love Australia and the very relaxed Australians 
. Because I’m travelling so much (I’m a AirFrance/KLM Platinum for life member now), I was always searching for the best hotel deals, until I very recently discovered a new cheap hotel booking website: bestbudgetrooms.com Have a look there if you want to save money. They don’t offer pensions or hostels, only hotels. In all my years I first travelled as a back packer, and later on I started to stay more in hotels. I like the back packer way of travelling because it is so easy to find others travellers and it can be really great. But after a couple of years I wanted to do something else and explore the nicest hotels in the world. Once I stayed in The Ritz in Bali (which is Bvlgari now and absolutely extremely expensive) and that was together with the nearby Intercontinental hotel one of the nicest hotels I’ve been so far. I also like the Intercontinental in Hong Kong and the recently opened Intercon in Hua Hin (Thailand).
I know these are all expensive hotels, but it’s a nice experience just to stay there for one night if you can. If you can afford it. My way of travelling is always to come in time at the airport (less stress) and book a hotel for the first 2 nights in my destination. From there you can always see again.
