The Journey of a Thousand Miles

I am starting to have sleepless nights as the excitement keeps on rising. I could not contain my happiness as days passed by. It is exactly one week from now and hello Europe! I am one hundred percent ready and I am just checking all the details of my trip so that I won't miss any important thing. I want to make sure everything is fine before  I leave. I am starting to make contacts of some couchsurfing members who will be joining us in Munich for the Oktoberfest, this is gonna be fun! I am looking forward to meet good people during this trip and make friends as well. Traveling is fun, you just don't see good places but meet nice people as well and that what makes traveling more exciting. I want to give myself a whole week rest as much as possible because the next coming days it will be a hectic schedule for me. Visa- check passport-check tickets- check camera-check money-check Oh boy I am ready to go!

The excitement I am feeling right now is indescribable, as days passed I am starting to have this mixed emotions. Everything is 100 percent okay and I am just counting the days until September 23. As early as now, I can smell the brewed beer of Munich, the Belgian waffles and the paella of Spain. I can almost see the Eiffel Tower from a distant, hear the waves of Aegean sea and the flow of the River Seine. Oh Europe! My dream vacation is fast approaching and I can't believe it is happening. I know that this trip will be exciting and fun, and of course memorable. I will definitely enjoy every single second of my stay there and I am looking forward to meet friends and fellow travelers and share travel experiences.

Finally, everything on my travel is now okay! I have booked all my flights including trains and buses, and now I just finished booking all my accommodations. I am still looking forward to find nice hosts in Paris and Amsterdam so I can at least save a little money. I am so happy that I was able to reach my budget for this entire trip.  I spent months on checking hotel prices and comparing from one website to another. Doing a lot of researches help you to find options and alternatives in choosing the right accommodation. I am a budget traveler so I make sure that I save money in every option I chose. The purpose of my travel is to see more and spend less, We have to be practical and consider a lot of things when traveling., after all Europe is not a cheap destination. So now, I am just counting days until September 23 and I can see time is really flying very fast. I just hope that everything on my trip will go smoothly the way I wanted it to be. This could be the journe...

So it is time of the year again and time for some traveling and adventure. The one year preparation is about to end and it is exactly a month from now  the continuation of my journey of a thousand miles. I am almost done with my travel preparations and I am 80% ready. I hope by the end of this month everything will be okay. Still doing some researches and exploring some options and alternatives regarding my routes and itinerary, I still have plenty of time to finish everything I guess. Gosh I can't believe how times flies so fast. Last year it just started as a dream, a dream of my ideal vacation. Now I am making my dream come true! I must admit that this is a tough one compared to my last travel to Turkey. It has complex itinerary, I almost gave up one destination because it is out of the route but I really wanted to see this place now. As days pass, I am getting more and more excited about this trip and I can’t wait any longer for that day to arrive! Ciao

The heat is on, on the street Inside your head, on every beat And the beat's so loud, deep inside The pressure's high, just to stay alive 'Cause the heat is on -The heat is on ( Glenn Frey) While summer in the Philippines is about to finish in a few weeks, here in Saudi Arabia the temperature is rising like El-nino! The most annoying weather has just started and instead of enjoying the breeze and waves of the sea I'd rather stay at home and get rid from the harsh heat of the sun. The weather here in Saudi has changed already and all I can say is it's summah time!. If people are going to the beaches to relax, here all you can do is just stay home and cool yourself because going to the beaches will not make you relax, instead it will burn you. Well, if you are rich enough like the locals here and afford to spend summer in Europe why not? And it's the season also where Saudis migrate, yes, they leave their country with their whole family ...

While everyone is busy for their dates, flowers, chocolates, romantic dinner and other things, I am also busy of finding ways on how to escape this shitty day and make myself isolated just for one day (oppsss I’m not bitter lol). Who cares about this day anyway in fact it is prohibited to celebrate from where I am (now that’s sounds more bitter haha) I maybe alone but definitely I am not lonely, in fact, I guess I had a blast than any other people who actually celebrated it. Cool people, good food and good mood, can’t complain any further, I have the coolest people in the kingdom with me. Well, enough of this bitterness, and to be honest, I’m not! After some weeks of preparations and careful planning, finally it was a successful camping event. I must say so far this is the biggest event I have co-organized after the pool party last time. It was well attended and I am very happy to see old and new people in the group. This event has been a long plan since last year and we...

First of all I would like to say G lückliches Neues Jahr; Feliz Ano Nuevo; Bonne Annee;Gelukkig Niewjaar; Cheers to 2015! Well I must say that my 2014 was a great year for me because I was able to fulfill my goal of traveling. It was a good start of my journey of a lifetime! I was happy to take my very first trip and indeed I am deeply overwhelmed by the success of it. Planning a trip is not easy specially if you are doing it alone. It requires time to put up all together the things you want to do. So this time, as the year kicks off, it is time for me again to plan my next travel and I am putting it on the next level as it will be a Euro invasion! This will be a tough one as it will be a complex trip and there are a lot of things to consider as well. So as early as now I am starting to do some researches on the countries I'll be visiting because I want this trip to be organize and memorable as well.
