00:00Well, here's to travel more for 2025.

00:03And that's the goal of many of us this year.

00:06But what about those who don't have a travel buddy

00:09and seeking for adventures alone?

00:12We've answered tips and tricks for safe and enjoyable solo travel this year.

00:17And we'll be joined by a travel enthusiast, Kay Notob.

00:21Good morning, Kay, and welcome to Rise and Shine, Philippines.

00:26Good morning.

00:27Good morning to all of you.

00:29Hi, Kay. Happy New Year. This is Dianne Atrod.

00:32Alright, let's start with planning, choosing the right travel destination.

00:37Those are crucial.

00:38But what are the first things to look at and do

00:40when choosing a travel destination?

00:44Kay?

00:45Yeah, there are a lot of mismatches when it comes to choosing a travel destination.

00:51But my usual tip to students or friends

00:57when it comes to choosing a travel destination

01:00is to assess yourself on what kind of traveler you are.

01:03Because you can be adventurous,

01:06you can prefer a chill kind of traveling,

01:09you can prefer an environment-friendly traveling,

01:13or a more authentic experience or a cultural experience in traveling.

01:19So you need to assess what kind of traveler you are.

01:21What do you want to do?

01:23What do you want to see?

01:24What do you want to visit?

01:26Kay, you mentioned to us that you're also teaching Philippine Tourism.

01:31What are the travel destinations that you can recommend

01:34or your top picks for this 2025?

01:38Yeah, for students, yes, I teach Philippine Tourism at PUP.

01:46And for students, their usual picks,

01:49because we ask them what their dream destination is in the Philippines,

01:54their usual picks are also usual destinations like Baguio, Vigan.

02:01Those are the ones they choose.

02:03Apparently, we figured out that their travel experience was limited because of the pandemic.

02:11So these nearby destinations,

02:14they don't really go there.

02:15That's why that's what they want.

02:17And also, aside from the usual travel destinations,

02:20the demand for ecotourism is also high.

02:26There are a lot of people who want to go to the mountains,

02:30to the beaches, to the provinces,

02:33maybe because they want fresh air,

02:36they want a far-away-from-the-city lifestyle or experience.

02:42And also, the efforts of our LGUs in boosting ecotourism sites are good.

02:52Like what Kay said earlier,

02:54you have to identify if you want it to be environment-friendly.

02:58Maybe also for those who want to go to the beach, right?

03:02There are those who want to go to the beach.

03:05What can you recommend, Kay, that is cheap, not too far away?

03:11You can come back.

03:12Yes, you can come back.

03:14What is your suggestion for that?

03:15Maybe for those who want to go to the beach and for those who want to go hiking.

03:18Yes, I like hiking.

03:19What are your suggestions for that, Kay?

03:22Yes, again, it still depends on where you are.

03:27Because for those who are in the south,

03:29if you are in the south part of Metro Manila,

03:33Batangas is closer to you, right?

03:35Batangas, Cavite.

03:37In Cavite, we have a lot of mountains.

03:40If we don't know, we have mountains in Cavite, Batangas, and beaches as well.

03:48If it's on the east side, north, Bulacan is close to us.

03:55We can also go to a lot of mountains in Bulacan.

03:58If it's a beach, if you don't want to hike, we have beaches in Quezon.

04:04So now, the tourism in Real Quezon is getting better.

04:10They have surfing sites, they have a beautiful beach.

04:15Also in Fanta Quezon.

04:17So yeah, in Manila, the closest we can go is Batangas and Quezon.

04:21It's so cheap there because it's also my favorite.

04:24This year, last year, 2024, Quezon became my favorite

04:28because it's so fast to get there.

04:30I can go home within one day.

04:33I can travel, I can do activities, I can just go home.

04:37Quezon, right?

04:38It's so close, it's so exciting.

04:40There's even surfing there.

04:42Kay, just to add, you said you're going to identify what kind of traveler you are.

04:45But of course, there are solo travelers.

04:48So what are the things that you need to include in their pack,

04:53include in their items as a solo traveler?

04:56Yes, number one is we need medicine.

05:04Especially if you have an illness, if you have allergies,

05:07if you get dizzy on the trip, if your head hurts.

05:11We need an emergency kit, a medicine box,

05:15if what you need to take medicine.

05:17And also vitamins.

05:19Even if you don't have an illness, we need to take vitamins.

05:22Especially during travels, we'll get cold, we'll get tired,

05:27we might get rained on, we might catch a cold, what not.

05:30So we need to be prepared.

05:32Before we attack our illness, we need to prevent it.

05:37Then, I recommend microfiber towels,

05:42compact towels that are lightweight.

05:45It's easy to pack, it's easy to squeeze in our luggage.

05:51Microfiber towels are very useful.

05:54Because towels are usually thick.

05:57But this microfiber towel is very thin.

06:00We can squeeze it anywhere.

06:02And then, good sandals.

06:05Good shoes or sandals.

06:07When I travel, I don't wear shoes.

06:10I don't care about my OOTD, as long as I pack a few.

06:14But my sandals are very travel-friendly.

06:18It can be used for hiking, long walks, or for the beach.

06:24You need to strategize what footwear to bring.

06:28Because footwear is bulky.

06:33So you need to strategize what you want to bring.

06:38Or what you need to bring for your travel.

06:40Those are practical tips.

06:42Sometimes, it's very helpful.

06:44It's simple, but it can help you on the whole trip.

06:47So you won't feel uncomfortable.

06:49Correct.

06:50Some people don't like to travel.

06:54But maybe that's their New Year's resolution this year.

06:57They can travel and go to other destinations.

07:00Why is it important to be able to unwind and relax despite our busy schedule?

07:07Especially since you're a professor of Philippine Tourism.

07:10Why is traveling important?

07:13Traveling is one of the ways to get rid of your thoughts from your daily routine.

07:21Like work, home, etc.

07:23When you travel, you'll have a new semblance in your daily routine.

07:30So you'll be able to get rid of your thoughts from your usual stress.

07:33And when we travel, we tend to forget what we're thinking.

07:40Because we're focused on what we're seeing.

07:43And also, there's a study about the blue environment.

07:50I forgot the name of the study.

07:53But it says that people are more relaxed when they see blue and green.

08:00So meaning to say,

08:03While we're traveling, we'll be able to see the sky, mountains, and the sea.

08:10Our body and mind will be more relaxed.

08:14This is the importance of traveling for our mental health.

08:20And also, when we travel, we tend to remove 6,000-8,000 steps.

08:30So it's an alternative to running or walking.

08:33It also improves our physical health when we travel.

08:40It's like you want to get rid of your thoughts.

08:42It's like you have something to look forward to.

08:45And you're creating core memories with your friends, with yourself, with your family.

08:49Of course, let's add more tips to avoid scams.

08:54Now, a lot of people want to travel.

08:56What are the tips we can give them?

08:59Like what I said earlier about scams,

09:02We have a lot of ways to find out if it's legit or not.

09:07The travel accommodations, flights, or packages that we book.

09:13So number one, let's search.

09:16There's a lot of information online.

09:18We can look for information on different platforms.

09:22Like what Atorni said earlier,

09:25Type in ABC Company Scam.

09:28It's the same with traveling.

09:30We can search if this person, this group, or this company has been scammed before.

09:37So that's one of our tips.

09:39We can also do a legit check on travel groups.

09:43We can say, this company that I'm booking,

09:48can I get a back if it's legit or if it's been scammed before.

09:55We can ask them.

09:57And then, what I recommend to people is

10:01If they're already at the destination and they're just about to book,

10:06go to the tourism office.

10:08Register at the tourism office.

10:11Ask at the tourism office what the destination is.

10:16And at this destination, what activities can be done.

10:19And who's the provider that they can recommend.

10:22Because if they're the one who recommends,

10:26they're sure that it meets all the requirements of the government.

10:31And we know that it's legit.

10:32So we always ask at the barangay, tourism office,

10:36or at the travel or tourism police.

10:40They're the ones who can give us better recommendations.

10:46So, Karrs, make sure to follow these steps for a safe travel

10:50after all your journey now is definitely not the last.

10:52So stay safe to visit more and more places this year 2025.

10:57Thank you so much, K, for sharing your tips on traveling.

11:02We hope that this will help our Karrs team who are planning to travel this year.

11:06Thanks, K. Happy New Year.

11:09Thank you. Happy New Year.
