"If you’ve been putting off a trip because you’re waiting for someone to go with – stop. Just go. Don’t let others hold you back from your dreams. Trust me, along the way you’ll make plenty of friends – from other solo travelers who thought “Screw it, if I don’t go, I’ll never go” to locals interested in meeting new people. You’re never alone when you travel."

^^ True.

"It can be scary traveling alone – especially when you’ve never done it before. But, to me, growing old without experiencing everything you want from life is scarier."

Manood ng sine mag-isa hindi ko pa rin na try. Unless siguro may hinihintay akong tao or nag uubos ng oras puwede pang manood ng sine. Pero kung ganon might as well go home and rest ... hindi kasi uso ang malling dito sa states hindi tulad sa pilipinas na ginagawang hang-out ang mall dahil nga mainit. Hindi ko rin na try manood ng sine mag isa noong nag-aaral pa ako sa pilipinas.

Now lets go back to the topic of traveling alone. Na try ko one time pumunta ng Houston dahil sa training, ofcourse i'm with other people that i don't know too. Hindi talaga siya totally bakasyon kasi training nga, pero na bored ako when i took a tour of downtown houston. Iba parin talaga pag kakilala mo mga kasama mo.

Mas prefer ko parin iyong may kasama, mas lalong masarap kung kasama mo gf or wife mo. Mas romantic at mas talagang ma enjoy ninyo iyong pag-pasyal. Maganda din iyong kasama mo friends mo or mga relatives mo, kaso madalas na problema ay iyong naghihintayan at ang tatagal kumilos, doon kayo na late sa mga appointments especially kung theme park ang pupuntahan ninyo.

[yonsei55]

naku mas awkward ata kung pupunta ka ng theme park ng mag-isa. can't imagine na sasakay ka sa mga rides ng mag-isa & yung mga kasabay mo puro groups sila. instead na masaya dapat, madedepressed ka lang nun.

[Daniel]

yeah pag theme park dapat talaga may kasama. ganun din pag sa fancy restaurant o buffet. pero yung ibang gala (shopping, etc), okay lang kahit solo. mas maganda rin may kasama syempre.

[yonsei55]

para sakin mas ok kung mag-isa lang pag shopping...mas mabilis akong kumilos at kayang-kaya kong ikutin ang mall pag mag-isa lang.

[skp_16]

For me ang major con ng traveling with someone ay parang kayo/kayo-kayo lang nag uusap. Wala kayong paki sa ibang tao.

Pag mag-isa ka kakausapin mo mga fellow travelers and locals. Para sa akin kasi "meeting people" is a big part of traveling.

But then, depende sa purpose ng travel mo kung mas ok may kasama o wala.

5 tips in planning your first solo trip by a Filipina traveler

http://www.rappler.com/life-and-style/t ... -solo-trip

"Remember, going solo doesn’t mean shunning the company of other people. In fact, you’ll meet more people when you are traveling alone than when you’re traveling with others."

[Darkshader]

Ako talaga mas prefer ko may kasama mamasyal. Kasi while you busy doing something, iyong kasama mo puwede mo ma instruct na either magtanong for directions or bumili ng ticket or food, basta maraming magagawa pag may kasama ka. Kung baga hindi sayang oras kung ikaw lahat gagawa non. For example just got back fron Napa yesterday. Me and my wife stayed sa isang resort almost two hours away from our home. Ngayon gusto namin magluto kasi may kasamang electric oven, at mga cooking utensils and plates and cups iyong room na pinag stay namin, kulang na lang food, i can buy some uncook food sa grocery pero why bother kung maraming food sa bahay namin. Buti na lang hahabol kapatid ko the next day, kaya inutusan ko siya dalhin iyong sausage and steak and rice cooker namin, pati mga drinks and bottle water. Tapos nag luto-lutuan lang kami sa tabi ng swimming pool kasi may gas grill doon dalawa pa while watching game 4 of Warriors and Grizzlies on my phone

Tsaka going to Napa, i was busy driving and sometimes the GPS in your car gives you wrong directions. So my wife tells me where to turn pag malapit na, kaya focus ako mag drive kaysa laging tumitingin sa GPS. Tsaka minsan palpak pa GPS sa car so i asked my wife to use GPS app sa phone.

For sure makaka relate din iyong ibang mga mahilig mag travel mag isa. Diba pag ikaw mag-isa at nagustuhan mo iyong place for sure babalik ka sa place na iyon with your relatives or love ones. Nangyari sa akin iyon 3 times ako pumunta ng New York. Iyong 3rd time kasama ko na brother ko. Sarap pag kasama relative mo kaysa mga kakilala mo lang. Ngayon iyong wife ko gusto din niya pumunta sa New York someday. Iba kasi iyong ikaw lang mag isa nag travel, feeling ko i wish my loveones can see this ... masaya ka na feeling mo naghihinayang dahil hindi mo ma i-share iyong nakikita or nakakain mo.

Effective sa theme park iyong may kasama ka. Witness ako diyan after going to Orlando, Florida in 2004. I visited the 4 Disney Park and 1 Universal Studios. May mga rides or shows na kailangan ng express ticket. So sometimes i asked my brother to run and get a express ticket like 10 mins away, while ako naman i run and get another express ticket sa ibang rides and meet up in the middle. Kasi nagkaka ubusan ng mga express ticket specially sikat iyong rides. Express ticket gives you an advantage kasi hindi mo na kailangan pumila.

bawal na daw pumunta sa La Presa.. Killjoy naman itong Court of Appeals..
Kelangan lang naman alisin doon eh vendors.. Sila yung problema dun.
Kung basura problema eh kaya naman i-enforce ng ordinansa ng LGU ng Tuba eh.

Dinaan pa talaga sa CA?

My 30 Best Travel Tips After 4 Years Traveling The World

30. Travel More
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed over the past 4 years, it’s that many people back home love to tell me how lucky I am while making excuses why they can’t travel. It’s too expensive. They can’t get time off work. Who will feed their pets? When I suggest solutions to these “problems”, they still don’t take action. Why? Because they’re often hiding behind the true reason: they’re scared.

Most people who wait to travel the world never do. You don’t need to sell all your worldly possessions and become a homeless vagabond like me. Just get out there more than you do now. Start with a weekend in a different state. Then maybe try a week in the country next door.

The new car, remodeling project, and iPhone can wait. If you truly want to travel more, you can make it happen. Career breaks are possible. You have friends who would love to watch your pets. It’s a big, beautiful, exciting, and fascinating world out there. Explore some of it now, rather than later.

Dami tuloy na eenganyo magpunta ng benguet. Hindi naman dahil nauso siya dahil sa TV, tipong relax lang, cool weather.
