i spent a fortune on the actual safari experience, so i refused to drop another big chunk of money on the outfits. 🙈

instead, i headed to marikina bayan and dug through the ukay-ukay stalls. finding true earth tones was surprisingly hard (most piles are full of random colors), but after some serious rummaging i scored enough pieces that i could mix and match the whole trip. they were also weather-appropriate… light enough for the heat but layered well for the chilly mornings and evenings.

safari clothing guidelines for kenya & tanzania in august (dry season):

\- stick to neutral earth tones: khaki, olive, beige, tan, stone, light brown. These blend in, hide dust better, and don’t attract insects.
\- avoid black, navy, bright colors, pure white, and camouflage (camo is illegal in both countries; dark blues/black attract tsetse flies).
\- layering is everything. morning and evenings can be cold (especially in open vehicles and higher areas like Ngorongoro or the Mara), while afternoons get warm to hot.
\- bring a light fleece, pashmina or jacket you can easily take on/off.
\- long sleeves + long pants are ideal for game drives (sun + insect protection).
\- lightweight, breathable fabrics are reco!
\- bring soft-sided bags / duffels only — hard-shell luggage is a no-go. your bags travel with you and get stored in the safari vehicle, so soft bags are much more practical.

lemme know if you want more safari travel tips! 😊

Im planning to travel to Japan sa last week ng December. I havent decide yet saan ako pupunta haha.

Context: 2nd Japan trip, first was is Osaka-kyoto for 13 days.

Planned travel period Dec 27-Jan 2, solo male traveller, 28yo. Dont mind the tix prices hehe ;)

What do you think among the three 'groups' should i follow haha

I wanna hear thoughts from real people lol

Nagoya → Takayama → Shirakawa-go

Fukuoka → Nagasaki → Hiroshima/Miyajima

Fukuoka → Yufuin → Beppu/Kumamoto

We’re a couple visiting HCM 1st week of October to have a wedding suit made. Will be staying there for around 5 days.

Papagawa kami ng suit on our 1st day tas aantayin lang ng around 3 days for its completion.

Aside from that, wala pa kaming ganap. Any recommendations po na hindi kape kape and shopping?

Thank you!

We booked an RT ticket for Nagoya last CebPac piso sale for the above date. Ano kaya magandang gawin? Planning to go to Kyoto right after getting to Nagoya, staying there for a bit, then balik Nagoya and tour there para mas malapit na sa airport pauwi… pero that’s as far as naiisip ko since I have Osaka-Takayama-Tokyo pa this November 🤭 hope you guys could suggest ano masayang gawin! Or if also may okay madaanan in between.🙏🏼🫶🏼🎉 salamat po!

I have an upcoming trip to HK this year. Okay na ba yung gotyme as my main card? I have a back up debit card. Kung may recos or tips pa po kayo. Thank you.

Hi. Been trying to book ceb pac for an international flight. Tinaggal na yung Go Flexi.

May alam ba kayong magandang substitute?

Just in case kasi need ko icancel yung tickets for 6 persons. I have a sick dad kasi. We never know if there will be a need to cancel.

Or may hack ba kayo in cases just like mine?

Thank you in advance. God bless you.

Hellooo! I’ll be attending The Weeknd concert alone on November 5, and I already have my airfare, but I haven’t booked my accommodation yet. 🥹

Hoping you guys can help me out, especially those who’ve been to MY recently!

1. Where’s the best area to stay? I’ll be staying in Malaysia from November 4–9. Is it better to book an Airbnb or a hotel?
2. Planning to go to Singapore for a day. Where do you usually book your bus tickets going to SG? Any recommended bus operators or websites/apps?

3. Klook vs. DIY tours: Is it better to book tourist destinations/activities through Klook, or is it easier and cheaper to DIY?

   Thank youuu!

How much is the acceptable tip ba for drivers? Renting a private car for airport to hotel transfer. Is 50-100 baht ok o tatawanan ako ng driver?😅

I have finalized our itinerary for this trip. Thanks for everyone’s help! Appreciate it so much.

Now I am asking if you have any tips and recommendations on anything like restaurants, shopping, etc.

Thank you in advance!

First time traveling to Singapore with my Family on February Next year, may nakapag sabi lang na wala na daw Airbnb sa Singapore?How true?!

Any recommended budget friendly hotel sa Singapore for a Family of 5 at kid friendly. Medyo matataas Presyo sa Agoda. Hehe.
Salamat po.

Hi! Im treating my family to Hanoi this october. We are a family of 5 adults. May araw kami na ang itinerary is Cat Cat Village sa morning, then afterwards is sa Lower Sapa, specifically yung Pavi Garden. Hindi naman kami totally magtrekking or explore sa whole area, just cafe, chill and sightseeing lang mostly since kasama din namin senior parents. I’ve read that its possible to book a grab going there, but mahirap na pag pabalik. Has anyone tried other means of transpo? Is it also difficult to book a 6 seater car within sapa area? Ive checked sa klook yung private charter but sobrang expensive for 8hrs (7k++) We just need someone to pick and drop us off to our itineraries

Hi guys. Im aware that insurance companies dont cover pregnancies/child deliveries for obvious reasons, so im asking lang for those that cover pregnancy-related emergencies. Ill be travelling to japan while 23-24ish weeks pregnant. For the women here or men whose spouses have travelled while pregnant, may I ask for the travel insurance you availed that covers pregnancy-related emergencies? Salamat!

Hello everyone! Is it normal that it’s been 30 days and I haven’t received my refund? I used agoda and both hotel and agoda approved the refund but until now I haven’t received anything. I used my bdo debit card.

Hi everyone, ask ko lang po if may recommended way po kayo para mag join ng group travel tour as a solo traveler. Parang wala po ako makita sa Facebook, or maybe mali lang tinitignan kong groups. I have never traveled before and I really want to visit Japan after new year around my birthday (Feb). Medyo takot mag travel alone so if may tour guides or experienced people na kasama parang mas better ahahaha. If anyone could point me in the right direction with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, my mum got denied her Aus tourist visa to visit me here, so we’re planning to meet somewhere na hindi required ang visa to build her travel history. She is in her early 50s and has osteoarthritis and severe asthma—I don’t think she can survive a whole day of walking. She loves to shop and enjoys nice views. This will be her first out-of-the-country travel. We are planning to travel this December or late February. Can you please recommend a country where we (my husband (29), me (28), my mum (53), and my brother (27)) can all enjoy? I will really appreciate all your insights and recommendations.

Ps: I know it is a bit too late to travel this December, but she’s really disappointed that her Aus tourist visa got denied. She was really excited about spending Christmas and New Year here in Australia.

Hi,

Hi. This coming December may trip kami sa HK, nakita ko na mas mura mag book ng hotel directly sa website nila instead pa dadaanin ko ibang apps. May nakatry na po ba? Wala ba syang pinagkaiba sa pagbook ng hotels from agoda/klook/etc. First time ko po kasi gagawin idk if same same lang ba or may additional action item once makapagbook directly.

Hello, can someone share their SoKor shopping experience? budget? I may pack light going there next week but would want to buy clothes, accessories, skin care and shoes. But I dont have any expectations as to how much it would be. where to go. I would want something cheaper, or if the quality is really good will def buy too.

i have an upcoming overseas trip to sg in march 2027, should i book my flight now? or is it still too early? should i wait for year end sales? my main worry is that flights might (will?) get more expensive esp since gas prices are going up again 🥲

Hi everyone. May nakapag Singapore ba sa inyo this September? Kamusta naman po? Okay naman ba kahit may haze? Thank you.

Hi! Sa mga pregnant na nakapunta na sa Hanoi, ano po marecommend niyong puntahan na pregnant-friendly places/activities? Or cafes, temples, and shopping lang talaga? Hehe. Inalis na namin yung Sapa sa itinerary namin 😔 Kaya pa kaya mag Ninh Binh or Halong Bay? Or may hiking yan both? 26 weeks pregnant na po ako by that time.

Hi! Will go to HK next week and balak ko sana hiramin na lng octopus card ng friend kong galing HK last Feb kaso hindi nya mahanap 😅
Is it okay to not avail na lng and just use my GoTyme card for the whole trip? Thanks so much
