Solo Travel (Thread 3)

[kalaiyaan]

Not me
But my friend's first SOLO travel is France for 2 weeks. Enjoy naman sya. kaya lang mas magastos ang accomodation ng single trip kaya, nagbaon sya ng sangdamukmok na muesli bar pamatid gutom.
At wala sya masyadong kuha with the tourist spots.
Inaasar nga namin na baka pagbalik nya may jowa na syang frances.

She survived it! at nasundan pa ng Japan. tee hee!

1 more example si cousin (Filipino-american) nakilala nya si hubby (french) nya sa Indonesia nung magtravel sya sa southeast asia alone. Ngayon, nasa Britanny na sila with 2 adorable kids.

Mukhang pumapabor ang solo travel sa mga singles. tee hee!

Ewan ko lang sa pinas kung masaya mag solo travel. hindi ba nakakatakot? ang dami kasing mapanglamang na kababayan.

may panahon na masarap mag-solo travel, lalo na kung gusto mong mag-recharge at sundan ang sarili mong pace sa paglilibot. may times din kasi na kung kailan ka available bumiyahe, yung friends mo busy, or vice versa. so i grab the opportunity when i get the time to go someplace na gustong-gusto ko puntahan, may kasama man o wala.

drawback lang minsan sa solo travel is that when you experience or see something breathtaking, it's also really nice to see another familiar face to share the experience with. ang corny mag-express ng pagkamangha aloud pag nag-iisa ka lang eh

*hurried reply before our IT catch me*

speaking of solo travels, im seriously, desperately considering going solo rin. my friends are too busy.  but of course if may kasama, baka mas masaya.

so, travel buddy, wanted! =)

san mo balak? LOL...sumasakit na ulo ko kakahanap ng deals pero mura nga klangan for 2 palagi. singles are doomed with this kind of deals hahaha

[yojir]

ive always been a solo traveler. buntot mo hila mo. go wherever your feet will take you. But it doesnt mean na di pa ako nakapagtravel ng may kasama. Ilan lang sa mga ayaw ko pag may kasama ka is:


may kasama kang maarte. Eehh it so yucky that .. di ko yata kaya. That's one of the goals in traveling -- try something new. Bakit meron isang nag-iinarte?!?!?!?!?!
pag gusto mong pumunta sa kaliwa pero may biglang sisingit na mas maganda yata sa kanan. That's what i want pero you cant do it kasi gusto niya or gusto ng karamihan
kasama sa planuhan mawawala sa araw ng travel day
kung kaopisina mo ang mga kasama mo, paguusapan niyo pa rin ang mga issues sa opisina. pag mga friends mo naman, mga issues niyo rin. pag pamilya mo, mga issues ng pamilya niyo. A very limited avenue to learn something new.


And the things that i want is:

freedom to choose where you want to go
freedom to try something new
learning new cultures
meeting new friends

and the list can go on and on

[tsokoholik]

yan din actually ayaw ko. yan nangyari samin sa HK before. gusto namin magtry ng mga food..di kami makapagtry kasi ayaw nun isa. tapos nagrereklamo pa tuwing maglakakad kami na pagod na pagod na daw sya, sakit na daw paa nya. eh pagod naman kami lahat. kaya lang tinitiis namin kasi gusto gala kami eh hehe. may isang beses pa na 7pm pa lang nasa hotel na kami. sayang un oras.. kakabukas lang ng night market. kainis talaga..

[yojir]

Tuloy na ako sa March 10-15

Kung merong pupunta sa Bohol during these days, id be more than happy for a meet and greet... celebrity lang ang peg LOL

[merchee]

I started travelling solo right after college.

Usually short trips  lang, 1 week is the longest. Kaso most of the time, may mine-meet akong friends or relative kung san man ako pupunta. Technically solo travelling pa rin sya. hahaha. Pero enjoy ako mag-flight mag-isa. Sa airport, borders, etc. and mas naappreciate ko yung lugar pag ako lang.

Tho minsan talaga parang hahanapin mo rin yung may kasama ka. May kasama ka kumain, taga picture, to laugh and for security concerns. 

[yezzel]

ilang beses na ako ngbook ng solo lage lang may humahabol .. and prefer ko parin may kasama kaya ok lang ..    july in kl malaysia mukang solo na talaga ako pero kung may sasama mas masaya

[pumpkin13]

Pangarap ko mag solo travel pero natatakot ako. Medyo timang kasi ako sa directions. Plus takot ako sa plane. Once lang ako sumakay ng plane, papuntang Davao lang just because wala naman ibang choice. So hindi ko alam pano ako magttravel by plane, hindi ko nga alam pano ang ginagawa sa airport. hahaha! Dati kasi sunod lang ako ng sunod sa kasama ko, pati baggage ko sya pinag asikaso ko. haha! wala talaga akong kwenta sa mga ganyan.

Pero gusto ko maexperience na solo ko lang. Iniisip ko san ang magandang first solo trip ko.

[izzybaby]

this has been my long over due plan. I will definitely try this pero sa malapit lang muna siguro.

[virgie16]

1st solo travel ko was SAGADA.
kahit small group o solo o couple tourists, i-jojoin yan ng SAGGAS sa ibang groups para mas makamura sa guide.
but opcors, kung afford mo magbayad ng solo sa guide at transpo, then go!

2nd solo travel: ILOCOS. unexpected solo travel. eto di ko bet kasi beach. malungkot pala magbeach mag-isa.. kakainggit yung families and friends na nagppicnic.

3rd solo travel: backpacking VIETNAM - CAMBODIA - THAILAND. nakakabaliw lang yung wala akong makausap ng tagalog ng ilang araw. hehe but i really enjoyed crossing the borders all by myself.

sis okay lang ba experience mo vietnam-cambodia?im thinking of doing these also.medyo kinakabahan ako eh.

[riandrew]

you can do it! madali lang sya. hassle free. madaming nagsosolo travel dun (westerners) so aapir ka sa co-solo female travelers mo. hehe

i have a blog, click mo lang yung signature ko. andun yung adventure ko ng backpacing south east asia trip ko for 11 days.

[merchee]

^^kelan travel mo sis?  don't worry, usual path daw ang vietnam to cambodia. marami na ring nakapagtravel dun ng solo so well known na talaga yung path.

----

I'm thinking to do my solo travel around 3rd quarter of the year. medyo malayo-layo ang byahe kaya exciting hahaha. Thinking of doing bangkok to laos back to bangkok then malaysia. all land travels. nakaka-excite! hahaha

[virgie16]

thanks sis.
by may pa naman,nothing definite pero as early as now talagang napupusuan ko ang cambodia makapagrelax lang talaga as in ako lang mag-isa tipong mag eemote ka at soul searching mode.

[merchee]

^welcome sis. ako naman, feel ko mag-emote sa Hanoi.  Love ko dun eh. I dunno why hahaha.

[vonski8]

looking for a travel buddy for next month. Maybe El Nido or Batanes? Anyone?

[lavariel]

This year, I want to try traveling alone. Kaso mukhang never in a million years naman ako papayagan ni kumander 

But in case, what's better when you're traveling alone for the first time? Beach, mountains, or a historical site tour?
