      If I can only travel to one destination and I would spend all my savings for that destination, I would rather not travel at all. I'd rather keep my money for now and then keep on saving and saving until I can afford to travel without going broke!

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...

A Piece of Pinoy Pride In Sagrada Familia

After a whole dayof walking around picturesque Barcelona , we dragged our tired feet going to Sagrada Familia. We purchased a ticket earlier that day for a 5:00pm access. The tickets cost €14.80 online vs. €13.50 in the venue itself but that difference definitely made our lives easier. And the line was very long, and the weather was excruciatingly hot that day. The entrance fee will ensure that this creation will be finished! The estimated target date is 2026, assuming everything goes according to plan. I hope I live that long and I hope I’ll see this complete by then. You can only swipe in your ticket when it is your designated time. Use the machines.      We were a bit early before our slot so we eavesdropped from the other tours.

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...
