Solo Travel (Thread 4)

[em_ramos]

^So true! hehe Pero parang di pa sanay masyado mga Pinoy sa mga babaeng nagtra-travel mag-isa.   Like in my case, yung mga tyahin ko, baket daw ako nag tra-travel mag-isa.  Masaya daw ba yun, etc. hahaha!

[Miss Taken]

Yes sis yung mom ko and some of my relatives alalang alala saken samantalang ako I'm not worried about safety kasi malakas naman yung loob ko na umalis magisa, ang iniisip ko talaga yung mga trivial na bagay like yung for example nga sa paghahanap ng luggage lol

Then dito kasi saten pag nalaman nila na nag travel ka magisa tingin nila sobrang lakas ng loob mo at eto pa, mayaman agad hahaha! Eh madalas naman na ang promos ngayon at kung sa asian countries lang naman eh kaya na ang 20k budget.

Subscribing.. planning to do this sooooooonnnn.... 

[plumpolka]

did this 2015 for my 25th birthday. traveled to HK & Macau. sobrang jampacked ng schedule ko, napagod lang ako. di rin ako masyado nakakain puro snacks lang. nung nasa Macau ako, nag avail na lang ako ng tour ng mga dh dun na pinay din. at least may taga picture ako. 1 day lang naman din ako dun. Dami nagtatanong bakit ako mag-isa, ang tapang ko naman daw. Sa HK nung paalis ako, may namimilit sakin na makipagdinner sa kanya e sabi ko uuwi na ko bukas so need ko na mag rest agad. hahaha! nung pag uwi ko lang, dun ko lang sinabi sa parents ko na mag isa lang ako sa HK. sabi nila ang tapang ko daw, galing ko naman etc... pero ayoko talaga sabihin muna sa kanila kasi baka di nila ako payagan at mag alala sila. pati mga officemates ko na-amaze na nagtravel ako mag isa.

I did an unplanned solo trip to Seoul in 2010 and it was one of the best trips I've had. Unplanned kasi less than a week before departure, nag back out yung kasama ko. So anyway, masaya naman. I guess mas masaya pa nga kesa kung sumama sya hehe.

Pros of traveling solo:
- You become more conscious of the things around you
- You develop your survival skills LOL
- You don't put pressure on anyone; you do everything at your own pace
- You can meet new friends (or lovers LOL)

Cons:
- Walang taga picture
- Walang ka chismisan

I suggest you try it at least once. Masaya sya! Yun lang, be ready to ask strangers to take your pics kung gusto nyo ipost sa Instagram. Otherwise puro mukha at braso nyo yung nasa pics

Traveling solo is my ultimate ME time. It has its ups and downs but it's still one my most favorite things to do. I've traveled solo in SoKor, Japan, NYC and Taiwan.  I highly recommend that you try it even at least once. As dramatic as it may sound, it's a form of self-discovery. 

[em_ramos]

^ LOL , so true sis! yung minsan may something funny tapos gustong-gusto mo tumawa pero hindi pwede dahil mag-isa ka. haha  Sa picture naman, pwede na rin selfie stick,  pero hindi parin makukuha yung mga shots na gusto mo.

Pero, OK lang yan. Enjoy parin mag solo travel!

I tried this sa Oslob. Napaka sarap sa feeling. Gusto ko mag solo travel ulet pero sa Ilocos lang sana. Any recommendations sa accomodation?

[paulavalerie]

I mostly travel alone these past few years. first solo travel is taiwan, then after 3 days i met my friends there. todo research ako kasi konti lang marunong mg english but i survived. the 2nd is chiang mai, thailand and first time ko din natulog sa airport overnight lol. and i joined some tour and i met a lot of solo travellers as well. the 3rd one is hoian, hue and danang vietnam, 3 cities na napagkasya ko in 5 days. then sometimes i go to KL alone just to have a short trip outside singapore kung san ako naka based now.

I will be going to Tokyo this Spring March 27 to April 1. Baka solo travel ako on March 29 to 30 because my friends will be at work and grad school camp.

Who will be staying in Tokyo on the same dates as well?

My US tour alone from one state to another. Medyo scary especially kapag kasabay ko sa train mga egoy. Most of the time may nag approach sa akin asking if Im Chinese. Im proud Pinay syempre. I always wear the  collezion polo shirt with philippine map logo. Naka tulong naman sya, may mga pinoy na nag approach. Why Im travelling alone and and they thought I am a reporter. hehe Pero may mga friends and relatives din nag pasyal sa akin. Adventurous kasi ako. And this is a must to every single ladies. Its worth it!

[lime_eds]

I will be travelling solo this November on Bacolod City. It's my first time kaya local muna and due to budget constraints.

Lakas nga maka reporter ng Collezion poloshirt with our map ;p

Ayaw na ko payagan ni h2b na umulit mag solo trip. Keri na rin na-try ko sya one time

[nerddict]

I was a solo traveler nung mag Malaysia ako. okay naman. Reading the lrt, googling directions going to Petronas Towers.

Buti nga naeembrace na unti unti dito sa atin yung pagtravel ng mga babae na mag-isa. Dati kasi parang may sakit ka kapag mag-isa ka magtravel. Parang awang awa sa'yo yung mga tao di'ba.

[mariz11]

^ true. And hindi nila ma-grasp kahit anong reason ibigay mo. They always think na broken hearted, hinahanap sarili, moving on, etc. Always in disbelief na kaya mo sarili mo kahit mag-isa ka lang. And laging may side comment na "ang lungkot", "walang ka-share sa moment", etc. haha! If we keep on making excuses wala tayo mararating. Kaya go lang nang go. Kebs sa mga nega.

[nerddict]

Kaya nga sis e. Iba kaya yung feeling na mag-isa magtravel. Refreshing kasi narereconnect ka with yourself, your thoughts and soul di'ba? Na nakaka-reenergize after ng travel. You get excited telling people what you ate, what you saw, what you did during the travel.

Euphoric yung feeling magtravel magisa. hehe

[7galleons]

^Me too. Less stress for me sa pagpaplano ng trips ko. I get to choose the destination and duration aligned with my schedule. Pili lang din ang set of friends ko na niyayaya ko for travel.

Not all of your friends are good travel buddies. Naranasan ko a month before my Seoul trip nag-back out yung 2 friends ko.  And these are close friends. May ticket na sila and everything. Buti na lang nakapag-mock book din ako ng solo room. Nagulat sila na tumuloy pa rin ako. I just visited my friend studying in SK. Mga nag-message sila saken after makita yung photos ko. Ang ganda kasi ng Seoul kapag Autumn.

buti hindi ka nahirapan makipagcommunicate sa mga koreans sis. or you know basic korean?

[fancycat]

May alam ba kayo girls na mini hiking place na pwede sa solo female?

[7galleons]

buti hindi ka nahirapan makipagcommunicate sa mga koreans sis. or you know basic korean?

Hindi naman. Usually yung mga millennial koreans nakakaintindi ng english. If all else fails, google translate is my bestfriend. Haha.
