TRAVEL TIPS

Here are some tips you could follow when you're going to travel

1. RESEARCH WELL

First things first, do not underestimate the power of good research. From finding cheap AND well-reviewed accommodations, learning a bit more about the customs of a country, possible expenses and knowing the best places to visit and things to do during your planned stay.

2.  Plan just enough

Planning is probably any DIY travelers enemy, but if you care about your budget, safety and time just as much as you care about having minimal inconveniences, plan weeks or months before. You can do a detailed itinerary as a guide especially if it’s your first trip or at least list down the attractions you want to prioritize. Still, be open to flexibility.

3. Learn the local language or dialect

Traveling in the The Philippines will already expose you to a bunch of dialects you probably don’t hear or read often. Know a few basic words before leaving for your trip to make communicating a lot easier. Plus, locals appreciate it if you make the effort. Although, Filipinos can speak the English language too just in case you find it hard to learn their language.

4. Prepare a checklist

You may have the best memory in the world, but keeping a checklist of everything you need to bring or buy for your trip is still the ultimate life-saver while on your travel. Take advantage of your notepads on your phone or bring a small notebook and pen with you.

5. Enjoy every minute

Above all, remember to have fun and leave your worries behind, even if it’s for a short time. It’s not every day you get to be in the place you’re traveling in. Be confident and smile as much as you can. That way, it’ll be easy for you to turn bad experiences into good ones in a matter of seconds.
