      Hello Anonymous (magpakilala ka naman, hehehe). I think it is a good offer budget-wise. But in terms of the itinerary, I think gipit sa oras yan per place. If you want to skip the whole planning, if you just want to do a hit-and-run experience per city just to say you did it, this is an okay option. But three major cities in 7 days? NOPE.

    Hi Loraine! Thanks a lot for your quick reply! :D
    Ang initial plan ko kasi Spain lang (November 15 - 23, 2014). Basta makapasok na sa work ng November 24 hehe.
    5 days lang kasi ang papayagang leave kapag consecutive days, so siningit ko na lang ang weekend.
    Tapos nakita ko blog mo, then ung offer sa cashcashpinoy, parang ang saya mag Europe tour :D
    Ang mahal kasi ng airfare, medyo nakakahinayang kung Spain lang, hehehe.
    Thanks ulit! ^_^

    Hi Vanessa! Europe is so much fun! Even if you only visit Spain, it will be a blast. And it will feel like a real vacation kasi hindi masyadong nagmamadali to catch flights/trains going around. Have a blast! Good thing that you are planning early na. =)

UK Visa Application in the Philippines

The United Kingdom (UK) may be in Europe but it is not included in the Schengen zone. You need to apply for a separate visa in the UK. I’ve always wanted to see London (because of Mary Poppins) but I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of applying and paying for another visa aside from Schengen. Since this was a family trip, I finally had the opportunity of visiting London. We had to apply for a UK visa first before applying for a Schengen visa in the French Embassy. The process is a bit similar to the US Visa application wherein you fill-out a long form, pay the visa fee, then schedule your application to submit your documents. Here’s the basic process: 1.    Create an account and fill-out application forms  here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and- immigration 2.    Pay for the visa fee - via credit card – USD 110 3.    Schedule the visa appointment in VFS Global UK 4.    Print and gather documents...

Blaaaaah-ging

I established this blog as a "shrine" for my adventures.  I've have travelled, since my last update - I took time to at least update my Adventure Accounts page. It's just...more difficult to really give trip details. Each blog post takes me approximately 4 hours to write, select and watermark photos, and recheck my excel file & trip notes. So two long and detailed blog posts equal to one working day. In the last couple of years, the rise of microblogging just made it easier to just skip a blogpost; because hey, there's your audience in FB or IG. I don't like to admit this, but there's a sense of "instant validation" when others do like your travel update post vs. waiting for someone to give a nice comment in your blog post (that took hours to write).  In between my March 2017 post and today, I've been busy being a postgraduate student in the UK (thru the Chevening scholarship), then I've travelled for 90 days to cover 11 count...

The Road Less Travelled: Malang-Ngadas-Cemoro Lawang. My Epic Adventure.

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost” The usual route from Yogyakarta to Mount Bromo is via Probolinggo, a bus terminal filled with touts. I read lots of horror stories about the drama in Probolinggo (I have one as well but that’s for a separate blog post). The other option is to get a package tour from your hostel or any travel agency and then endure a 15-16 hour minivan ride with other tourists. Two lousy options. Both not fun. After some careful research, I stumbled across the Bromo backdoor route via the town of Ngadas. I read about the Malang-Ngadas-Cemoro Lawang route from these amazing bloggers. A good acquaintance, who also did this route, helped me out with the details. Kurtzy WalkFlyPinoy Ambot Ah So there are some adventurers who did this route. The thing is, they are all male. That made me a bit apprehensive about doing this route. Since you are reading my blog post...
