Candy travel tips❤️

1. Check your Passport 

Your passport is the most important thing when you are travelling abroad. Make sure that is still valid for at least 6 months on the day you will travel. My passport is valid for 10 years but I renew it at least 2 years before the expiry date. 

2. Do your Research 

Doing research will help you a lot! Before or sometimes after travelling, it helps to set your expectations, and avoid unnecessary disappointment during your trip.

3. Ready your Travel Documents 

We Filipinos are not privileged travellers, we constantly need to defend our reasons for travelling and prove that we have the means to do so. That is why we always need to have our travel documents and supporting evidence in our hands, such as bank statements, returning flight tickets, etc I remember my first time travelling abroad as a student. They asked me a lot of questions. Make sure that the answers you give to the questions they ask you are true. Dont lie!

4. Be at the airport 3-4 hours before your flight.

Avoid missing your flight by being at the airport at least 3-4 hours before boarding time. Remember it’s your first time so for sure they will ask you a lot of questions in immigration so be ready. To get to the plane is not as easy as you think. You still have to pay your travel tax and that sometimes takes a lot of time if there’s alot of passengers. Then after that you will go to immigration and that's the time they will ask you a lot of questions so be ready.

5. Interview with the Immigration 

One of the worst things that could happen to you when you travel abroad is being offloaded, especially if it’s your first time. It would definitely hurt your feelings, especially if you waited a long time to finally take that leap. Imagine having all the effort and excitement flushed down the drain in an instant haha so that’s going to be your worst nightmare. Be prepared lol

6. Money

My tip for you is to change your pesos in to US dollars. Why? First to take advantage of the high exchange rates. Second, its hard to find foreign exchange counters accepting Philippine pesos in some countries.

 Piece of advice . Travelling is indeed lot of fun,  just be careful and take care yourself. You are old enough to know the right from wrong especially if you are already in your destination .

 Hope you get some information in this blog . Adios
