One can bear in mind these very easy tips to follow for a worry free travel even when circumstances are not on your side. The following are according to one travel blogger:
- When it rains: play games, visit museums and galleries, take an umbrella and go out anyway
- When the tourists are swarming: get out earlier, laugh it off, make friends, or get off the beaten track
- When the hawkers are in your face selling t-shirts: politely but firmly decline (unless you want one) and move on
- When the coveted cafe or nook has clearly been bulldozed for a shopping complex: shrug and seek out some other local haunts
- When the place just doesn’t look like the postcards/guidebook promised: lighten up. Try and ‘discover’ things rather than visiting all the usual suspects
- When you get sick: Don’t push through it; give in, look after yourself and cross your fingers it’s a 24-hour thing.
- You get robbed: Report it to the police, keep safe, try and keep going. Don’t let it be your only holiday memory.

Hi Carlo, I try coment to your blog / post
Nice post
Cool tips!;p
hmmmm what about ghost in your hotel room?
@ gorjess: i guess, just always bring holy water :) and of course don't forget to pray.
tips, rather than problems:
be careful where you have your money changed. count it well and be wary of scams.
know the location or at least the contact details of the Philippine embassy/ consulate in the city you will be in.
have at least one set of the facsimile/photocopy of your important documents, eg passport, seminar invitation, IDs, etc.
try online check-in for your flights- save you time and you can get the better seats...
@ ian: Very well said :)
I'd be sure to remember this when I fly to Davao this summer. :D
Btw, I'm tagging you for the 8 random tags meme :D
thanks for sharing the tips... ayos ah
Congratulations bro on the feature at The Rising Blogger! Am very proud of you! Am really, really, really proud! And I kid you not!
Haha! Natawa ako sa holy water and hotel. Tips ko siguro dalawa. Isa, bring a book habang naghihintay ka ng flight mo sa airport. Tas pangalawa, flirt with flight attendants and receptionists. Otherwise, be contented with ogling. Hehe.
Tinag din pala kita. :)
@ anitokid: thanks so much for the very kind words! it inspires me more to blog more regularly
@ novice blogger: Good tips... I hope when you flirt with flight attendants it would not backfire on you :) Remember they are directly involve in serving your food & drinks :) hehehe
Haha!
And hat tip to you too for "The Post of the Day" award. Cheers!
@ novice blogger: Thank you!
Cool tips. I'd like to make a print out of it and put into my back pack as reminder :)
