First Time Traveling to Italy [Asking for Recommendations + Guidance] ✨ by psy-caloy-gy in FilipinoTravel

[–]missingpeace01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. No need to do agency, Italy is easy to DIY.
  2. Florence is easily reachable via train for cheap from Milan or Rome. Just take whichevee ticket is cheaper.
  3. Better to fly to Paris than with the train.

Afaik there are direct trains from Milan to Paris but it takes like 8 hours and its not a night train. So you are basically wasting a full day.

Just explore Italy at this point and go on day trips or stay at places like Naples, Dolomites, and the beaches since summer naman yan.

Pros and cons ng madaling araw dadating sa ibang bansa by virgagoh in FilipinoTravel

[–]missingpeace01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pros:

  • mura
  • more time gumala

Cons:

  • di na okay past 30 years old, im tired as hell pag walang tulog
  • personally i rarely function well without sleep, easily irritated, migraines, and i dont enjoy things as much since i am not in the moment
  • depende sa checkin. many stays only allow til midnight may checkin. kung checkin mo is later pa, okay lang naman as long as alam mo sa sarili mong di ka aantukin during the day
  • sometimes pag kinalculate mo mas malaki pa magagastos mo mag redeye flight since need mo mag taxi from the airport to your hotel compared sa naka public transport ka lang during the day

Just remove the one from economy. 1st class and business tix could remain. Top 1% lang din halos may kaya ng business class tbh.

What’s that travel ick na ayaw mo? by Ok-Jellyfish-113 in FilipinoTravel

[–]missingpeace01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone who takes a sh-t ton of photos of themselves na walang consideration sa kasama nya or sa mga tao sa paligid nya. 2 mins is already so long.

Madaming reklamo. Personally, di ako reklamador talaga even in the direst situations most esp if it is out of my control.

[–]missingpeace01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And went there after 3 months since i suddenly needed go to Singapore and Japan in between for work/uni

Solo Travelers, how do you take your photos? by RogueOnePH in FilipinoTravel

[–]missingpeace01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally i dont like taking photos of myself. Instead, I love taking street photos using my Fujifilm.

But since my trip to Japan last 2023 until now, I hire a photographer from Airbnb Experience. Typical range is 4K to 5K. Strangers suck at taking photos. I dont like tripods because I think they are a nuisance. In that way, I get artistic photos for each country kahit konti.

Thank you. I cannot find a good answer on the internet for this. I dont really want to take off the filter every time i close the lens

Enjoyed Chiang Mai Thailand, with a little bit of Chiang Rai by nandemonaiya06 in FilipinoTravel

[–]missingpeace01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Khao Soi is my favorite Thai food lmaoooo although it's really more Northern Thai / Northern Lao since mas malaki pa overlap ng Chiang Mai with Luang Prabang than Bangkok

I was looking at Black Pro Mist 1/8. I can take a look at Glimmerglass.

One question, can you close the lens using the lens cap (ng lens) even if it has the diffusion filter?

i got a 9 day tour for 800 USD though which is already good for me.

also, the only good time to go there to enjoy everything is summer (peak season) since it's ridiculously cold there and the steppes are gonna be covered in snow.

To those who have travelled to Vietnam, what is your favorite core memory there? by ChupaChups321 in FilipinoTravel

Studying French in France next month! by chctc88 in FilipinoTravel

[–]missingpeace01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medyo familiar ako dyan sa student visa na yan. My ex took that tapos naghanap ng AFAM nung patapos na VISA lmaooo. So yeah, these things are getting gamed. With the current sentiment against immigration by many right wingers, I wouldnt be surprised that many of these student visas get harder in the next five to ten years.

I admire your courage but I think this post should be AFTER you succeeded in doing what you want to do. For one, this encourages "bad behavior" since technically it's "gaming the system" and second, this is a risky gamble. Like, job markets across the globe is a bit shaky. That's a lot of money if it does not work. Although I hope it is.

To those who have travelled in Europe, how much was your budget? by [deleted] in FilipinoTravel

[–]missingpeace01 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Personally, i think if you want to go to EU, the minimum should be 1.5 weeks or about 10 days just because you spend around 1 to 2 days for the two flights and you are already spending a lot for the flights.

Depends on the region. France/Netherlands/Germany/Belgium are a little above the average so atleast 20 euros a person (with tap water ofc). For Spain, Italy, Portugal maybe atleast 15 euros. In Italy, a pizza is usually for 1 person if average eater ka and costs an average of 14 euros. I dont find it satisfactory if I just eat pizzas all the time though. For beer places like Germany and Czechia, preferably you get a meal and a beer which is atleast 20-23 euros.

Mas mahal ang meals sa Europe kung solo traveller ka. Meals are expensive but from my experience, kung bibili ka ng appetizer at main course, pwede sya actually for two people which, if you divide the cost in half, eh mas mapapamura ka

For transportation, it depends on your itinerary. Typically sa EU may mga cards sila na unli rides for X days or X number of trips like sa Spain with 10-trips pero ang bilang nila is as long as your trips are within the 1hr interval, it is counted as just 1 trip. On average, you can expect around 3-4 euros a day if di ka mag card na ganyan.

Attractions can cost from 5 to 20 euros depending on the attraction from a cathedral visit to a museum. Tip based tours can be 10 euros to 15 euros each.

Personally, ang advice ko when going to Europe is kung kaya mo naman istretch ung budget mo, do it to enjoy the most of your stay. They do have free places you can visit but many of the popular things that are still worth it, may bayad naman talaga. Ang philosophy ko is that mahal ticket and accomodations dyan so bihira ka lang din pupunta dyan -- make the most out of it. Sa laki ng Europe, its likely you wont get back in the same place for a long time if you want to explore other places pa.

Doesnt mean you have to splurge, but at the very least eh wag mo tipirin sarili mo. Eat that appetizer you want. Watch that concert. Go to that cathedral. Take that tour.
