Solo Travel (Thread 3)

[entwife]

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?

Kung ako I'd rather go to the mountains or historical sites. I don't think na enjoy magpunta ng beach alone. Beach is more of the family/ group outing. Budget wise na rin, water activities usually are for groups like banana boat or what not. And if pupunta ka ng island, you need to pay the boat in full unless makikisama ka sa ibang group.

^since ldr kami ni bf gusto ko rin mag travel alone or mag travel with other person na hindi masyado kilala kapag kasi family kasi kasama ko most of the time sagot ko lahat ng gastos kaya madalang na ako sumama mag travel kasama sila kapag friends ang daming anggal lagi na po-post kasi may biglang lakad lalo na malaking factor ang budget kaya.. I open it up to my partner siempre ayaw nya.. Para kasi masarap magtravel na iba naman ang kasama.. I missed my old friends kaso lahat sila nasa malayo na un iba nasa province ang iba naman nasa ibang bansa... Sana i have guts din na magtravel alone or sumama sa ibang group...

on the contrary, beach is not a bad idea for travelling alone. I did it once sa Puerto Galera. If a relaxing afternoon sway in a hammock will soothe you and a fresh air breeze sa di masyadong crowded place and you just needed a me time, it would be perfect actually.



Anyways, at the end of the day, it'll depend on what you prefer. Just think what you really want to experience first before you embark on that solo travel (ang serious!!!)

I want to go to Sagada, but my friend said na mas okay daw sa Sagada pag marami, hindi kung mag-isa :|

Sis my first solo travel was in Sagada, and it wasn't that bad, sa biahe ko pa lang nakakwentuhan ko na yung koreana katabi ko sa bus, then yung kashare ko lang dapat sa spelunking guide fee naging karoom mate ko rin and eventually naging buddy ko the whole trip hanggang uwian na.  Tska madami din dun groups na pwede ka samahan at makikilala some are solo travelers or buddies.  So para sakin super memorable ang Sagada.

[entwife]

Inspiring! I might go to Sagada on solo. Familiar naman ako sa Baguio and Halsema Highway.

My friend also went there with his cousin. Sabi niya sa bus pa lang marami ka na makakasama kasi most are tourists. Plus yung mga inn dun, tourists din mga naka-check-in and they will assist you with the tours.

[straykatski]

[snix]

ako matagal ko na plano magtravel sa caleruega alone.. sobrang bobo ako sa directions kaya takot ako but right now i wanna do some soul searching.. ang fami ko na kasi problema lately and ang bigat na..

this was my plan last year pa, i was planning to go with my bf kaya lang problema ko rin siya ngayon kaya ako na lang muna..

not this weekend lang siguro kasi sigurado mahirap bumyahe..probably next week

[merchee]

yung plan kong 1 month na SEA solo trip, mukhang mauudlot pa...

pero basta gagawin ko pa rin to. buma-bucket list lang hahaha

[jinkyv]

Sana matry ko din yan minsan, pero tulad ng iba nating sisses, diko magaling sa directions at takot ako mag-isa.. hehe.. sana magawa ko yan one time.. hehe..

I just recently did my first solo travel. Nagpunta ako sa Calaguas Island alone. sobrang saya and hindi ko mabilang ang mga salitang "mag isa ka lang?" na naisambit sa akin on those days. some said " kawawa ka naman", "ang lakas ng loob mo!" etc etc. But being alone does not mean lonely. we need solitude from time to time and calaguas (for me) was the perfect place.

i became friends with the locals. they even invited me for a dinner, hinainan pa ko ng lobster!
free meals ako care of the caretaker. yung last night ko, free yung tent ko. im not a free loader but i sincerely made friends with them kasi that is my purpose in traveling alone; meeting locals and learn their way of living.

next solo trip: thailand

[riandrew]

some said " kawawa ka naman"

mas kawawa yung mga hindi makaalis ng walang kasama. hehe

good job girl! congrats. adn enjoy thailand!

Tama nakakainis kasama friends minsan. Ayaw ko na nga sila maging friends eh. Sama ako sa inyo!

[eischied_21]

Mahirap rin magyaya ng friends kun hindi naman mahilig magtravel. Naexperience ko magtravel solo to Beijing kasi yun friend na kasama ko dapat nagbackout ba naman last minute. Kaya ayun napasolo travel tuloy ako sa Beijing. I had the courage to do it solo because ako naman ang gumawa ng DIY IT namen. After the trip ang sarap ng feeling na nakasurvive ako sa country na hindi english ang main language.
