TRAVELLING TIPS
Engage in small talk or conversations with local people. Learn from those who live in the country you’re visiting, because people enrich travelling more than sights do. If you really want to get a feel for the pulse of a place, spend some time standing by the sidewalk by yourself just watching day to day life happen in front of you. Observe the details around you, from the sights to the smell, and sound.
Make sure your passport has at least six months' validity from your planned date of return to the Philippines. Carry extra passport photos in case your passport is lost or stolen and you need to replace it while you're away. Also make sure that you have the right visas for the countries you are visiting or transiting and check any other entry or exit requirements.
In connection, make copies of your passport details, insurance policy, traveller’s cheques, visas and credit card numbers. Carry one copy in a separate place to the originals and leave a copy with someone at home. Even better, keep both digital and physical copies of your passport, visas, driver’s license, birth certificate, health insurance card, serial numbers, and important phone numbers ready to go in case of an emergency.
Do not forget to bring your camera charger.
Avoid bringing clothes that require ironing.
Keep a journal. If you ever want to write about your travels, details are important.
Pack less stuff. If you’re not sure about packing something, you probably do not need it. It’s also likely to buy most things at your destination country if you realize later you need them.
Wear or bring rubber shoes. At some point during your trip, you won’t care what you look like. You will only care about being comfortable.
Obey the laws of the country you're visiting even if these seem harsh or unfair by your country’s standards. Don't expect to be treated differently from the locals just because you're a foreigner.
Check with health professionals for information on recommended vaccinations and other health precautions.
Lastly, keep in contact with friends and family back home and give them a copy of your itinerary so they know where you are
