Hi I am Sky, I am currently working as a Global Application Analyst where we implement Microsoft Dynamics across the globe. The company send me to different countries to conduct training so I get the chance to do side trips after work. I do solo travel especially during weekends to see places, culture, history, food to name a few. I would also like to host female travelers when you visit Manila, Philippines.

Hello, mabuhay from the Philippines!šµšI am a bit shy but also an ambivert, family oriented so I usually go with my family but I wish to go solo travel as recently I'm opening myself up to what the world offers. The world is wide; I'd like to have nostalgic moments with people, hear thoughts and opinions, and experience various cultures/cuisines /practices/uniqueness. As I grow older and wiser, I've come to appreciate the beauty of living; simple things, the mundanenesses of life. I reckon people enjoy every single time as much without high-cost. A fervent believer that experience is priceless! Moreover, traveling is not only for leisure; I want to live like a local, move around without having to be rushed, talk to random strangers, get lost in unfamiliar places, know history, see art, learn something new, walk endlessly, help others, laugh a lot, make mistakes, learn, discover myself, and for most to love and be at ease knowing life is mostly uncomfortable. I'm philosophical and willing to exchange wisdom. With that given, yes, I'm a conversationalist but also timid, especially to strangers (I know it's ironic, lol). I importantly surround myself with positive energy as I grind. Life is hard enough; as humans, it's better to treat others cordially.āØ Tell me anything you want to, I can lend my ears, be an active listener, amenable, empathic!š

I have been to Boracay several times and it never fails to disappoint. You can choose to have an active holiday or just relax on the beach. The possibilities are endless as the island provides a multitude of activities and can accommodate different budget and travel types. In this trip, I stayed at Ambassador in Paradise with my mom, sister and brother-in-law. The room was ok, a bit too big - I say this because it wasnāt as clean as it could be, perhaps because there were too many nooks and crannies. The service was good and as is usually the case in the Philippines, they were gracious to older people and assisted my mom in various ways. I didnāt like that they were pretty useless when it came to first aid and couldnāt even provide an ice pack when my mom fell off the bed and had a huge bump on her forehead. It was during Christmas time and we couldnāt get any medical assistance at all and had to wait till we were back in Metro Manila. The trip was still a good one, in my opinion. If you have anyone who isnāt very mobile, you should book transfers in advance - the hotel had a private boat which made it convenient for my mom. The hotel food wasnāt very friendly to non-meat eaters specially during breakfast but there are many choices in the island and we enjoyed tasty food and tropical drinks. There are a range of activities available, some right outside the hotel and some accessed elsewhere. I love that during the pandemic, the government realized that they could make changes to the island to make it more sustainable and some water activities are conducted away from the shore to make it safer for swimmers and also to protect the environment. Thereās something for everyone in Boracay.
Posted: September 4, 2024Manila is relatively safe when you're traveling via Grab. Public commute is not advised for solo travelers and first timers in Manila. Walking around the streets require vigilance and caution. But when you are in Bonifacio Global City, Newport Manila, the vibe is different so you can be morr carefree walking alone there.

Posted: September 3, 2024Experienced: June, 2024I travelled solo to Bohol and hands down, it was one of the best experiences. The locals are very hospitable and when they have known that I travelled solo, they connect me to people that can help me travel. The food is really tasty. However, Alona, Panglao can be a bit pricey.
