Meron ba ditong backpacker and/or couchsurfer? Ano mga tips niyo?

I did backpacking once, last year sa Singapore.

Tips
1. Check reviews, pictures, features, amenities, security, etc.
2. Select a good location, near the bus stops or train stations. Far location is okay if it's cheap and accessible.
3. Check the rates every now and then. Some prices change.
4. Check if there is breakfast included. If there's none, check if there are food stalls or malls nearby.
5. Check if there are lockers so you can leave some of your things when you'll leave for a day.

Nag post na naman friend ko sa facebook. Last oct 11 & 12 (weekend) nag disneyland los angeles. Ngayong oct 19 nasa hongkong to celebrate his birthday. Not sure kung ilang araw siya doon. Grabe wala pang one week lumayas na naman. Di ko alam kung saan niya nakukuha pera niya to fly frequently.

Kung sa states ang pag-uusapan ang gusto kong puntahan is Hawaii. Beaches, great weather, gorgeous women. Hopefully in two years magawa ko. 2nd choice ko naman is bumalik ulit sa Florida and check out the Harry Potter sa Universal, then take a cruise papunta sa carribean islands.

Did any one of you experience to take a cruise ship? Ako hindi pa. Gusto ko ma try iyong Royal Carribean Island or kaya Disney Cruise. Punta sa bahamas, st. maarten or kahit saan ... problema ko pera haha.

Nakkasama na ako mag cruise ng parents ko nung 2003. Hong Kong - Sanya, China - Halong Bay,Vietnam ang route. Yung sumunod naman sa Carribean back in 2007. Royal Carribean yung nasakyan namin nun. Freedom of the Seas yung ship. Maganda yung experience and very friendly yung staff. Mostly pinoys yung mga crew so kung friendly ka naman sa kanila malaking advantage yun. One example is yung nameet namin na tindera ng Ben and Jerry's sa ship. Bumili kami nung pinsan ko at nakipag kwentuhan tapos the next na bumalik kami para bumili, nilibre nya kami kasi birthday daw nya. At isa pa yung mga waiter sa isang resto dun, binigyan kami ng luto nila na adobo at kanin na para sana sa mga kapwa crew din nila.

Yung mga napuntahan ko naman ay

Hong Kong
Macau
Sanya, China
Halong Bay, Vietnam
Guam
USA - Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami
Tulum, Mexico
Haiti
Jamaica
Cayman Islands
Singapore and Malaysia (this December)

around the Philippines din marami narin naman.

Palawan, Bohol, Baguio, etc. yung huli namin na pinuntahan is yung sa Baler.

Dec 22 - Jan 5, para mas may time ka to prepare for Christmas.

pag wala na ako sa pinoyps baka traveller na ako tulad nya

[skp_16]

Buti pa mga citizens ng USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, at South Korea... halos lahat ng bansa mapupuntahan nila ng walang visa.

Eh tayong mga Pinoy, Southeast Asia lang yata ang visa-free.

[Daniel]

Sa Brazil at iba pang South American countries visa-free din naman tayo. Malapit lang nga ako sa Brazillian embassy e. Napapadpad kaya sila Daiana Meneses?

Skp_16, nung nag punta ka sa Brisbane, kinailangan mo pa ba kumuha ng Short Stay Visa 400 sa Aussie Embassy? Kung oo, magkano inabot sayo?
