Wer na U? Dito na ME!

When travelling..

I love to eat. I love to sleep. But most of all, I love to travel.
I am a very practical person. I consider the expenses in hand, and average quality.
If travelling takes about 2.5 hours, then I'd consider the cost.
(Gotta find the cheapest ride) 
Otherwise, I'd consider the quality. Be it quality sleep or something else, it still depends on the day or season.

As a solo backpacker,  I don't mind struggling with heat since I'm well-adjusted under warm conditions than cold ones.
When I travel with my mom or friends, of course, I have to adjust it according to their preference. (Especially when they turn the aircon to 2 or 3(MAX)..Brrrr~,,)
I don't mind spending more for my parents' interest, and a little bit for my "closest" friends.

Generally, what's inside my bag?

• Food/Snacks/500 mL water bottle
• Alcohol/Powder/Cologne/Lip balm/Lipstick/Small mirror/Liquid Soap (size of an alcogel)
• Map/Compass/Low-end Smartphone (SGY Duos GT-S6102
• 1 Extra Outfit (decent one) + Another "Just-an-average-shirt"/2 Towels
• Pen/Small ntbk./Charger/Shades/Umbrella
• My secret weapon

Note: I bring Emergency Money for unexpected cases (All the time!).. It's hidden somewhere where even I also forgot where I place it.

How big was my bag?

All of my stuff can fit perfectly in a bag of 14" laptop with one side pocket..(Imagine!)
Backpacks are quite heavy, and sweats up my back..It's a big NO, NO for me..
In some, medium-high end places where thieves/goons are less likely to exist, I prefer wheeled travel bags.

What's my outfit-like?

Shirt, jeans, and watch, and a good shoes (A tomboy style..you could say that)
Oh well, at least I feel safer this way when I travel ALONE.

To young and solo backpackers out there, like me..

Always trust in yourself first than any other folks..

Ask twice, thrice, or a hundred of times. It's better to be sure.

Heck! they don't even know you. 

If you don't know the place, then inspect your surroundings..

Check for nearby police stations or city/municipal halls or crowded landmarks.

Dun ka magtanong kung wala kang tiwala sa iba.. 

It's night already, and there's only a few people around. There is already a ride going to your destination but if you could walk to that nearby street you can afford a ride for cheaper prices.

Beggars can't be choosy. Going alone at night? You don't live there, stop making a fuss.
