If you love to Travel..
8/30/2009
If you are going to sneak on my friendster account, you will see that i have been through some very good places here in the Philippines like Bohol, Cebu, Laoag, Vigan, Pagudpud, Sagada, Banawe, Baguio, Tagaytay, Puerto Galera, Batangas, Cavite and Laguna. Yes, travelling is one of my favorite hobby. I'm just an average gal here so i can't go anywhere without saving first. I just started this when I already got a job. I still have lots of places I'm planning to go like Palawan, Boracay, Caramoan, Davao, Batanes, Cagayan. But I think it will take time, you know I have to buy a piggybank first. LOL.
Going to some places outside Manila is not that easy. There's more you should do and prepare. Its not just you pack your things and just go. I believe that I am a really good planner when it comes to travelling. I never got lost, I always leave with complete gear and most of all I end up saving from the original budget. Its just sort of long time planning of course. To make it simple here are few general tips in travelling:
*
Find a place with lower fare rates offer, then that will be the target destination. For me its hard to plan a destination before buying a plane ticket because it will just end you up spending high for the regular rates.
*
Save 1-2 months planning time if you really want to make most out of the place. But if you are just planning to sit there and realx, I think its no need. You can fly tomorrow if you want. haha.
*
Look for internet sites giving you some tips about the place on where to go and what to see. I can recommend the www.virtualtourist.com. This gives me so much help. You can see some reviews and comment about the place so you can expect something when you get there.
*
Find a place to stay and rent transportation as early as possible so you can still haggle for a lower price. Its easier to negotiate the price when you're still far from the date of your arrival.
*
Prepare itenerary with estimated budget.
*
Don't forget to prepare the important things on your bag pack like first aid day before the flight. Its fine to forget some nice clothes but never forget stuff that will cost you so much when you buy there.
*
Take all the photos you can. That's one of the most important thing. Bring extra memory card for your camera. Who knows when you can come back there again.
So i guess that could help already. You can ask me anything you want to know about the places or any tips you want. If you'll ask me why I still don't travel outside, well, Id like to travel here in the Phil first. That's all. :). Happy vacation..
