| Traveling can be very simple.
It does not have to be stressful. Some might prefer traveling without set agenda makes your trip stress-free, but I feel it can be another way round. Planning ahead can make your trip stress-free because you are sort of ‘already know’ what is going on over there and what you will be doing over there. It is better than going at the wrong season, being at the wrong place a wrong time. Example: missing the festival, unfavourable weather. |
Here are 3 simple suggestions to make your trip more fulfilling and rewarding:
1. Bring light, quick-dry clothes
In Philippines, you won’t feel extremely cold during the night and extremely hot during the day. There are only sunshine and rain showers in Philippines, being a tropical country. You can visit the Philippines almost anytime except Holy week (around Easter). Hotels are book out and the prices are three times more expensive.
March to May
This period is the hot and dry season for the Philippines, so wear light clothes you can air dry your sweat.
June to October
You will probably be welcomed by rain if you travel in this time. This period is the Philippines’s wet season. It’s also the low season where hotels reduce their prices.
November to February
Cool but dry period, probably the most suitable time to travel in the Philippines other than from March to May.
2. Bring your cell phone along
Cell phones are workable in almost all places in the Philippines. Cell phone comes handy when you want to keep in touch or need to call in an emergency case. It is also convenient for you because you don’t have to use the public phones.
3. Visit during fiesta season
You will have the chance experience the exclusive and delightful fiesta season of the Philippines. The whole town frequently take part in the fiesta and is open to all, locals and foreigners.
Local dishes are prepared in almost every family and flashy decorations are displayed everywhere when there is a fiesta. Try taking part in one of the games played over there during fiesta.
