There's Always A First Time

My recent trip to Singapore was memorable in a lot of ways not only because I had a great time but because it was full of "firsts".
It was my first time...
- to travel abroad alone.
- to book a flight on-line.
- in Singapore.
- to go abroad without a travel package so I had to go around the city on my own.
- to use a city map and found out that I am good in finding places!
- to ride the MRT and a bus in a foreign country.
- to walk alone in the streets at night without worrying of being robbed.
- to travel abroad without shopping. *sigh*

I have to say it is great to be an independent traveler. Lagi kaming ganiyan, never buying a package tour, we are just armed with a Lonely Planet and off we go. Mas na-da-digest ko ang lugar kung ganoon, hindi yung ipapasada lang sa harap mo ang sights and tapos na.

Kaya nga nakakakoleksyon na ako ng Lonely Planet eh, Athens, Rome, Vienna, Prague, etc.

Thumbs up for your effort!

Hey - that's great! You finally did it alone just by your wits. Great learning experience, isn't it? The true joy of exploring places is discovering stuff through your own initiative, thereby seeing things in a more personal perspective. So avoid those package tours - they're a drag and oh-so-boooooring.
