Ultimate Guide to Cheap Flights and Travel Hacking Basics

This spring, I flew from California to Bali for only $5.60. That's not a typo - almost 24 hours of travel (three flights in total) for five bucks.

Visiting Macau as a Day Trip From Hong Kong

Macau is a unique treasure in Asia that you may have never heard of, but should definitely visit at least once in your life.

I'm also pretty sure this is the only place in the world where you'll find signs written in both Chinese and Portuguese. It's pretty trippy at first glance, haha.

With ferries leaving about every half hour from Hong Kong, and the ferry ride only one hour each way, it's a quick & easy day trip. 

Read on for my day trip guide to Macau & tips on the logistics of getting there from Hong Kong (hint: it's pretty simple!)
