One of the best parts in traveling is capturing moments that tell their own stories. Good photography starts before you arrive at your travel destination. Spend a bit in finding out the local landmarks, interesting spots and areas of natural beauty that would make good subjects for your photos.
The Philippines is less conservative than neighbouring countries, and shorter skirts and sleeves are acceptable. For ladies a skirt or loose-fitting pants are good in the heat and will protect you from the sun. For men, T-shirts, comfortable shoes, polo shirts and jeans.
Philippines nightlife is famous all around the world. Most ;people who come to visit Philippines end up being on stage at some point. Manila has a vibrant nightlife with clubs and bars you will never be short of drinking and dancing options.
Generally, the Philippines are safe to visit—as long as travelers are aware of some safety issues. As a tourist, just like in any major cities around the world, you also need to take safety precautions and you will be perfectly fine.
Safety tip: Be aware of pickpockets—they’re out there. Keep your bags close to you and never put valuables in your back pockets. Wear your backpack in front when in crowded places.
Giving a tip here is viewed as a sign of goodwill when you do give them out, especially if that person gave you excellent service. It also works both ways. If you don’t get the service you pay for, you can opt not to give a tip.
Sustainable travel tips:
Bring along an eco-bag when you visit the small shops of Vigan to reduce the need for a plastic bag.
