Hong kong for first time solo trip?

Planning to have my first solo trip and i’m thinking of Hong kong. Okay ba siya for solo female? I’ve read about rude locals pero ganon pala daw kasi ang ugali nila kasi ayaw nila nang inuubos oras nila haha. Sa causeway bay din ako magstay kasi parang ang gulo sa tst? I’ve been to Taiwan na kasi pero maganda din dun mag solo. I just want to try other countries.

Kasya na kaya ang 40k for 4days 3 nights? Any tips po?

Need Advice: First Solo Taiwan Trip After My Friend Backed Out

Hello! I have an upcoming trip to Taiwan this October, and it was already booked, but the friend I was supposed to travel with backed out. It was originally planned as a 7-day trip, and since this will be my first international travel, I’m honestly a bit scared to go alone.

Do you think I should still proceed, or maybe this isn’t the best time? Would it make more sense to shorten the trip? Seven days suddenly feels like a long time, and I’m starting to wonder if I should just not go at all. I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Australia visa application question

I am in the process of applying for Australia visa. On their online application form, there is a question on visa history and the only answer field is a text box with 300 characters.

Has the applicant held or does the applicant currently hold a visa to Australia or any other country?

I find this to be quite vague and difficult to answer as I have an extensive visa history to multiple countries. For some countries, I have had multiple visas since childhood. I also held a previous Australia visa.

I’d appreciate some advice on how to answer this on the form. Thanks in advance!

Need to pay via Alipay outside China

Does anyone know if it’s possible to pay an Alipay business QR code from outside China?

We’re still in the Philippines and signed up for Alipay. I’ve already completed identity verification using my passport, but I can’t add funds to my Alipay because it only accepts Chinese bank accounts.

I also tried paying by scanning the merchant QR code using my linked debit card, but the transaction was declined with the message: “Transaction terminated due to suspicious activity.”

Has anyone experienced the same issue? If so, were you able to find a workaround? Or is there a reliable transfer service that can help with payments to Alipay business accounts?

Thank you!

Warning: VietJet is VERY strict with Handcarry Luggage Weight

They check the weight of handcarry luggage twice. Once during checkin and sometimes once again during boarding.

Para sa mga mahilig sa "diskarte" good luck sa inyo. Hindi kayo uubra sa VietJet.

Our already delayed flight became even more delayed because of a group of Pinoys refusing to pay the penalty.

Solo traveller sa Bandung at Jakarta

Hello guys.

Solo traveller ako. Di ako makapag decide kung 3 days or 5 days ko gagawin ang trip na to sa Indonesia.

Mabubuhay ba ako ng 20k cash 3 days or 5 days? Kain lang saka transportation. Gusto ko sana ung mga karinderia style para local food.

Hindi ko alam if tama lang ba ang 3 days jakarta and bandung kasi sa singapore nag 5 days ako and 2 days palang nakakatamad na HAHAHA.

Hindi ako mahilig sa mga attraction like gusto ko lang kumain, culture saka mamili ng local items sa Jakarta.

Kung may attraction na need ng entrance fee, credit cards may dala rin ako.

Nakapag basa na ako dito and aware ako na feels MM ang jakarta (sanay ako sa traffic. Hello valenzuela hahaha)

Yung sa bandung accessible naman sya from Jakarta kahit 1 day lang sana?

Also, nakakapag dala ba ng nga ano yung mga filipino delicacies papunta sa indonesia? Suman mga ganyan or anything na food na pwede madala? may indoesian friend kasi ako hahaha.

Salamat at mabuhay.

Best country to travel as a first time female solo traveler?

Hi, just as what the title says.

27F, living in GCC. Planning to use my remaining annual leaves this November. First time to travel solo, if ever.

To all women out there, please suggest the best country you've been to, doon sana sa visa-free destinations as I don't think I have enough time to fix my documents (maybe next yr lol).

Around 10 days yung plan ko na ilalaan for the travel. I prefer site seeing and mag food trip talaga, not so much sa mga beach.

Open to suggestions sa SEA or even Central Asian countries. Thanks 🙏🏻

Need tips: Female solo traveling to HK in Sept for the first time

36F here. My last international travel was still in 2019 in Indonesia, so this kinda feels like my first time again. Was able to book a ticket to HK for Sept 6-11 for my birthday.

I have a pencil booking at Best Western Plus Hotel Kowloon. I can still cancel it if there's a better hotel you guys can recommend. I don't need a fancy one for as long as there's toilet with bidet (not the toilet on the floor please 😅)

And of course,, somewhere close to MTR!

I don't want to have a jampacked itinerary, but Disneyland and Ngong Ping cable car is a must. What else can you suggest that I will enjoy?

Also, will appreciate any tips you'd like to share be it about commuting, shopping, food, etc.

Thank you so much for helping your girl out!

Travel Insurance (Schengen)

Hi, meron kasi sa VFS Global na may link sila to avail the travel insurance. Mapa-process din ba agad yun? Yung need ko na document for the visa application maise-send agad upon payment? Nagtataka ko kasi sa mga agency may rush fee if sa kanila kumuha ng Travel Insurance baka kasi hindi pala agad napa-process. If ever kasi magpapa-rush ako sa agency. Thank you!
