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.

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.

1st week ng december, biglaan kanina ko lang nalaman, out of the country na sasama ako sa friend ko papalabasin pinsan ako para ma-accomodate ako sa hotel; so libre hotel pero ako pa rin gastos pasahe, pagkain, at yung mga papasyalan. nag-book na ko flight, mamaya ko babayaran.

sa mga napuntahan ko na out of luzon
1. Cagbalate island - 45mins to 1 hour boat ride from mauban quezon 3 times na
2. Puerto Gallera, Mindoro - twice
3. Bohol, never got to visit chocolate hills ... I want to come back. 90's pa yun hahaha
4. Mindanao 3 cities sya.

once lang ako napunta ng singapore care of "Daniel" last year. babalik ako kasama mga pamangkin ko para makasakay sa Universal studios. tight sa oras kasi f1 racing ang pinuntahan namin. at kapag bumalik ako dun, daan na rin ng Malaysia.

also, last october Iba,Zambales... niyaya ako ng bago kong kilala. tapos may tour company sya. may package sya ng worth 8,500 petots for palawan. this coming january 2015 yung pwede ipa-reserve. sabi nung mga nsabihan kong iba mura na raw yun considering ALL-IN from round trip flight to accomodation (dorm type na lang) tapos entrance papuntang cave + 2 more tourist spots.... hanapin ko yung brochure nya ulet

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. :facepalm: :banghead: :huh: :(

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? :mrgreen:

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?
