00:00It's been 12 months and there are a lot of people who can't wait for the vacation season.

00:05So if you are one of those who are planning your dream vacation,

00:10this is perfect for you to talk about this morning.

00:14We will talk to Travel Enthusiast Marian Tagaca

00:19to ask for tips when it comes to travel

00:22and make sure that our travel bucket list is perfect and complete.

00:27Good morning Marian, welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:30I'm so happy to be here.

00:31It's like I was just with you earlier.

00:33We came here together.

00:34Anyway, Marian, what should you do first when you are planning to travel?

00:40Of course, you should check your visa requirements first.

00:43Because in the Philippines, not everyone is visa-free.

00:47In ASEAN, we are visa-free.

00:49But in countries that have visas, you should check it first.

00:53You should check how long the stay is, what are the requirements,

00:57because sometimes it's hard, especially in Japan and Korea,

01:02it's hard to get a visa, especially if you don't have a complete paperwork.

01:05That's necessary.

01:06Just for everybody's information, Marian has visited all the provinces in the Philippines

01:12and even all the ASEAN countries.

01:14Yes.

01:15Now, this is my question.

01:18Because usually for us, it's time management.

01:21It's hard to go on vacation because you have responsibilities that you have to leave.

01:25Yes.

01:26So how do you manage your time?

01:27And of course, how do you budget so that you have money to spend when you travel?

01:31Yes.

01:32Actually, the budget depends on you.

01:34When my friends ask me, how much do you spend?

01:39Actually, I can't answer because it depends on me.

01:41For example, on food.

01:42Of course, there's a time when you can eat at Social.

01:45So that you can experience it.

01:46There's a time when you can eat at 7-Eleven.

01:48That's fine.

01:49You can do that.

01:50You just need to balance.

01:51Even for activities, some are expensive, some are cheap.

01:54So you just need to balance what's more important or what you want to experience.

01:58It's the memories that you're keeping.

02:00Yes.

02:01Not really about the budget.

02:03If you can budget.

02:04Well, there are a lot of videos online that you can watch.

02:07Yes.

02:08There are a lot.

02:09You can see what you should expect.

02:11For example, in that place.

02:12What do you expect?

02:13What should you go to?

02:15So you can plan it well.

02:16What's the only thing you'll give as a budget.

02:18Well, Maureen, as a travel enthusiast, what are the recommended places that our RSP can go to?

02:25So far, for example, now that it's raining, we can go to Abra.

02:30Locally first.

02:31We can go to Abra.

02:32Oh, the big falls?

02:33Yes.

02:34The Pargan Falls.

02:35That's really what we cater to Gala PH.

02:37For a tour now, because it's really open when it rains.

02:42When it rains, it's really beautiful there.

02:44Like, it's really beautiful.

02:46It's not dangerous to go there.

02:47Not really.

02:48Like, it's easier now.

02:49It's easier now.

02:50Like, two-hour monster truck ride.

02:52So, Abra.

02:53So, Abra for local.

02:54Okay.

02:55For international, you can go to Hong Kong, to Japan, of course.

02:59Because now, they're going to the autumn season.

03:03So it's a bit cold.

03:04It's a bit cold.

03:05Yes.

03:06So, it's beautiful.

03:07And the people's bucket list now is Northern and Central Vietnam.

03:12So, Sapa, Danang, Hoi An.

03:14That's my bucket list.

03:16It's really on my list.

03:18So, next year, I'll go there.

03:21So, Marian, do you have any tips for travelers?

03:23Because we have different cultures.

03:25Sometimes, there are cultures that you might violate.

03:30What should a traveler think?

03:34So, when they go to a place, they won't violate any culture.

03:38Yes.

03:39Also, do your research.

03:41The culture is very important, especially in Japan.

03:43Their culture is different.

03:45Almost everyone doesn't speak English.

03:47So, the older people, you have to respect them.

03:51Like, they have a courtesy on the train ride.

03:54They have a courtesy on buying at the store.

03:57They have it.

03:58You should follow it.

03:59So, it's different.

04:00You should also research.

04:01You should also research the places you're going to.

04:03What should be their culture?

04:05You can't just do it because of what you see.

04:10You can't do that.

04:11As much as possible, we respect.

04:13And we really respect the elders in the places.

04:16Okay.

04:17It seems like we really deserve to go to different places.

04:20Yes.

04:21Because of the effort we put in every day.

04:23We deserve it.

04:24Yes.

04:25Sometimes, we can do that.

04:26Well, I'll go back to finances.

04:27If you're traveling internationally,

04:29where is it more advisable to exchange money?

04:34For now, with our technology,

04:36mostly, when we go abroad, we don't exchange money anymore.

04:40Okay.

04:41We withdraw money from local banks abroad.

04:44It's charged.

04:45No.

04:46It's just super small.

04:48Like, for a Gcash card, GoTime, and etc.

04:51It's just a small foreign exchange.

04:53Yes.

04:54If it's a card, it's okay.

04:55Because when you withdraw, you exchange to USD.

04:58Then, you exchange to local currency.

05:00It's a big discount.

05:02So, it's more possible to withdraw through a bank.

05:06Well, there are a lot of us who are reported as victims of travel scams.

05:10Online, there are offers.

05:12How can an individual avoid these travel scams?

05:16Mostly, first thing, if it's an agency that you're going to get,

05:21you need to do a legit check.

05:23We call it a legit check.

05:25You also need to check the page to see if it has a lot of tours,

05:28if it has a lot of catering, and so on.

05:31That's why, when people ask us on Gallopage,

05:34is it legit?

05:35Is it true?

05:36Is it not a scam?

05:37We're like, we've been doing this for 8 years.

05:40So, just look at our page to see what we've done.

05:44So, technically, do your research.

05:47Especially, internationally, there are a lot of scams.

05:50Like, a lot of money.

05:53It's like they're on vacation.

05:55So, it's a waste.

05:58On a personal note, maybe that's why you achieved this travel

06:03with different parts of the country and abroad.

06:05Maybe because there are things you need to sacrifice.

06:10So, how does it feel like you doing this kind of thing?

06:14You know, travel and travel and travel.

06:17Actually, right now, it's very fulfilling for me.

06:20Yes, it's tiring.

06:21It's really changing.

06:22Sometimes, it's a burnout.

06:24But, when you see the smiles of the people you're with,

06:28when they appreciate the place,

06:30and even the locals,

06:32they're happy when you visit their place.

06:35When you promote their place, they're happy.

06:37So, that's what's most rewarding for us.

06:40It's like, you don't think,

06:42it's a waste to do this.

06:44I wish I was doing this.

06:45No, it's not like that for us.

06:47Our goal is to promote the beauty of the Philippines,

06:51to encourage other people to visit the Philippines.

06:55You know, Prof,

06:57the advantage of Marian is that

06:59one day, she'll have a lot of stories to tell

07:01about the places she's been to.

07:03You know, the importance of life is all about significance.

07:07And, in terms of significance, you have to be happy.

07:10That's the most significant thing you can do in your life.

07:12And, I think, based on your answers,

07:14you're really happy at the moment.

07:15So, I'm really proud of you and continue traveling.

07:17Thank you so much.

07:18Being a travel enthusiast.

07:20Yes.
