Solo Travels (Thread 2)

[Juricks]

dapat magsosolo travel din ako last 2009, kaso nagpanic mama ko, tinawagan talaga yung bf ko that time na samahan ako.. haha..

igo-goal ko yan this year, pero gayahin ko si sis riandrew na nag-solo travel sa sagada.  familiar na kasi ako sa baguio, so siguro mejo familiar din ang sagada.. hehe.. takot pa ako e. haha

[gt76]

Nagsemi-travel solo ako last month and its really amazing and exciting! 3days sa Amsterdam alone, kase dun ko na lang hinintay ang group from UK (Contiki), stayed for 2 more days then derecho Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and end of tour sa Paris. Then sa Paris nagstay pa ako ng 7D6N. Namiss ko bigla ang mga kasama ko sa tour.

Pero masarap ang feeling na nagawa ko lahat ang gusto kong gawin at puntahan, minaximize ko talaga ang aking pagtravel. I met a lot of new found friends from different countries and races, that's the best part of my tour. Now i have a lot of travel buddies that are travel addicts more than me. Dati hirap akong makahanap ng travel buddies.

^galing naman sis. bale ikaw lang mag-isa joining the contiki gruop tour? how was it having solo trip sa europe?  Its my dream destination.

[gt76]

^Hi sis Crissy. Yup sis mag isa ako nag join sa Contiki. Kase lahat ng niyaya ko ni isa walang sumama, kaya alone ako. Pero dami ko namang naging friends, di ko nga ineexpect na magiging close kame kaya plan din namin magkareunion in the future hehe. Masaya ang naging experienced ko sa Contiki. Try mo rin. It's worth it!

[numonorean]

^Woah!  That's nice!  How did you end joining that trip, sis?

Hi Sis, we are planning to go to Bora ng ganung date...do you have plane ticket na?
and where do you plan to stay?

[gt76]

^Woah!  That's nice!  How did you end joining that trip, sis?

Nagcheck ako sa Contiki Website, nung una yung Espresso Italy ang gusto ko gawin, but later on i
end up on choosing the European Horizons. Kase 6 countries na ang makikita ko, unlike kung yung
isa Italy lang.

sis magandang idea yun [textspeak!]! sama tayo sa tour na ganun, kahit di lang puro filipinos?!

Ako lang ang Filipino sa group, most of them are from Australia, New Zealand and Canada. 52 kame
lahat. Meron ding taga Singapore, korea, Japan and Mexico City.

sis gt76, how much did you spend for the tour?

4800$ lahat ang nagastos ko.

680$ - Airfare (Dubai-Amsterdam-Paris-Dubai) Royal Jordanian
1497$ - Contiki Package (10 days)
150$ - Schengen Visa
2500$ - Allowance (including the optional activities, Hostel in Amsterdam (4D3N) Paris (6N7D),
                             food at konting shopping)

[numonorean]

^Are the rates in USD, sis?  Nakita ko nga yung European Horizons sa Contiki.  I'm intrigued by this idea.

[sonncza]

4800 ang total sis, breakdown ba yung 680 na airfare? or kasama na yun sa 4800?

[lady gwenhwyfar]

Hi Sis, we are planning to go to Bora ng ganung date...do you have plane ticket na?
and where do you plan to stay?

yes i do have plane tickets from cebu pacific nung sale nila. wala pa kong pag stayan baka dun na lang ako maghanap. let me know kung pupunta ka. maybe we can meet up.

[gt76]

^Are the rates in USD, sis?  Nakita ko nga yung European Horizons sa Contiki.  I'm intrigued by this idea.

Yes, USD rates kinonvert ko na para mas madali. Yes sis Oks yung European Horizons,
nag enjoy kame talaga, lalo na sa mga optional activities na makikita mo sa website nila.

 

4800 ang total sis, breakdown ba yung 680 na airfare? or kasama na yun sa 4800?

Yung airfare 680$ kasama na sa total na nagastos ko. Check mo sa www.cleartrip.com mura sila
(2500dirhams). Nakakatuwa nga kase sa Emirates 5200aed kaya ang laki ng natipid ko.

[Crissy]

WoW! Sis gt76, your an angel talaga, I've been searching talaga info for someone na nag solo travel Europe.  Most of them kasi sa European Tread may mga kasama or they know someone there na nagtour sa kanila.  Curious lang sis, pano yung room arrangement  if your a solo traveler, joining a the contiki group? Oh by the way, were you able to post your travel sa kabilang thread? Baka kasi ma OT tayo if i keep asking  info of your travel there :-)

[gt76]

^sis kakapost ko lang sa kabilang thread, check mo na lang.

Kung mag-isa ka, yung room arrangement pwede ka namang pumili kung sino gusto mong makasama.

[chuvaeklavu]

yes i do have plane tickets from cebu pacific nung sale nila. wala pa kong pag stayan baka dun na lang ako maghanap. let me know kung pupunta ka. maybe we can meet up.
