What type of Pinoy Traveler Are You?

I’ve noticed there are only two types of Pinoy traveler:

First, those who prefer to explore other Asian countries like Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Macau, and Hong Kong because for them, they feel they get their money’s worth and seem economically convenient for them to do so. They were even saying, “ganun din naman ang gastos” if we travel locally, so we might as well spend our "moolah" somewhere else outside of the country, “mas feeling sikat pa kasi vacation abroad”. :-)

And you know the second type of Pinoy traveler: Like me!

I’ve been asked many times (by foreigner friends and pinoys alike) why I loved to visit the Philippines and spend my hard-earned dollar and vacation time every year instead of other places in Asia and even perhaps Europe.

...and I give them the same answer year-in and year-out.

I am seriously committed to discovering the beauty and hidden gems of the Philippines first before anywhere else. I am proud to put local explorations first before any foreign travels.

Kaya naman next vacation stop ko: Palawan, to check out the famous Underground River, Bicol Region, of course to see Mayon Volcano and experience swimming with whalesharks, locally known as Butanding, and then Marinduque, for the Holy Week Moriones Festival…in that particular order!

Ikaw, which type of Pinoy traveler are you?
