Solo travel experience

The Philippines was one of the countries on my list during my solo trip to Southeast Asia. I also visited Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Qatar. If someone asked me which country in Asia I liked the most, I would say it was the Philippines. Somehow, I felt the best there, I felt that vibe the most precisely there. The people were wonderful, smiling, funny, talkative, and friendly. And of course, nature was breathtaking too. I stayed in hostels where I met many interesting people from different parts of the world, as well as many Filipinos. The food wasn't as exquisite as in Thailand or Vietnam, but it was quite good. I rode a motorcycle, swam under waterfalls, and indulged in Filipino beer.

TravelHow much money did you take and how much did you spend per day on average in the Philippines?

I'm going to the Philippines and I'm struggling to figure out spends and how much money to take. For those who have been: Did you take cash, a card or a combination of both. Worried I may not have access to ATMs in some of the more remote locations. How much per day did you spend? On average.
