The majestic Mayon Volcano , with its perfect cone shape, is a sight to behold. Lito, born and raised in the Bicol region, offers a unique trekking experience around and on this active volcano.

7. Christina Ramos – Manila’s Urban Storyteller

Manila , the capital city, is a melting pot of history, cultures, and urban challenges. Christina offers an authentic experience of the city, from the historic walls of Intramuros to the bustling markets of Divisoria. Her tours unravel Manila’s layers, revealing stories of colonial legacies, wartime histories, and the indomitable Filipino spirit.

8. Jaime Sabado – Cordillera’s Highland Guide

The Cordillera region, with its terraced rice fields and indigenous communities, is a world apart. Jaime, a proud member of the Ifugao tribe, offers a gateway into this unique cultural landscape. He guides travelers through the Banaue Rice Terraces, shares rituals, and introduces guests to local delicacies. With Jaime, the Cordilleras become more than just a destination; they become an experience.

9. Bella Cruz – Boracay’s Watersport Expert

Boracay is world-famous for its white sandy beaches, but there’s more to the island than just lounging by the sea. Bella, a seasoned watersport instructor and guide , offers adventures on and under the water. From parasailing to scuba diving , she ensures that her guests enjoy Boracay’s marine wonders safely and responsibly.

10. Nico Lopez – Vigan’s Time Traveler

The cobblestone streets of Vigan transport visitors to a bygone era. Nico, with his intimate knowledge of the town’s Spanish colonial past, becomes a bridge between the present and the history of the Philippines. As he guides guests through ancestral homes and centuries-old churches, they are reminded of the enduring beauty and resilience of Filipino culture.

Hello! I'm Wise, a Filipina with a deep love for my country and a passion for sharing its beauty with the world. As a writer, blogger, and videographer, I capture the essence of the Philippines through my eyes, hoping to give foreign visitors a true taste of what makes these islands so special.

From the vibrant streets of Manila to the tranquil beaches of Palawan, my journey is about uncovering the hidden gems and everyday wonders that define the Filipino spirit. My articles and blogs are not just travel guides; they are invitations to explore, to feel, and to fall in love with the Philippines, just as I have.

Through my videos, I strive to bring the sights, sounds, and stories of my homeland to life. Whether it's the local cuisine, the colorful festivals, or the warm smiles of the people, I aim to prepare visitors for an authentic experience.

For those seeking more than just a vacation, the Philippines can be a place of discovery and, perhaps, even love. My goal is to be your guide, not just to the places you'll visit, but to the experiences and connections that await in this beautiful corner of the world. Welcome to the Philippines, through my eyes. Let's explore together!

“I focus on bringing my guests to the famous tourist attractions in Manila and nearby provinces. In between these, off-the-beaten-path attractions and secret gems await you. Adventure tourism is also a possibility. I’ve had visitors who already experienced volcanic craters in Central Luzon, walked the rice terraces in Northern Luzon, and other activities unique to the Philippines.”

Solo Travel in The Philippines

Types of Girls about the Globe (GatG) – Adventurous GatG, Beach GatG, Diving GatG

Imagine a postcard-perfect beach, sparkling white sand and crystal-clear lagoons. With over 7,000 islands on offer, you don’t need to go all the way to Thailand to see limestone karsts and rice terraces or the Temple of Leah (a famous Cebu tourist spot ). Not only does it have friendly locals but the Philippines is also reasonably cheap. I spent two weeks solo in the Philippines and loved it!

If you're thinking of solo travel in Asia and planning a trip to the Philippines, below is my guide to solo travel in the Philippines to inspire you. All companies and recommendations are from both myself and other solo female travellers from our community. Happy planning!

N.b. For every booking made through this article, I donate money to projects helping vulnerable girls about the globe. Thank you for helping to make a difference to their lives.

Where To Stay in The Philippines

Travel around the philippines, map of the philippines, plan a trip to the philippines.

Siargao Island

The Philippines with its 7,107 islands may appear to be an intimidating country to visit if you’ve never been there before but it’s brimming with sandy beaches and heartwarming hospitality for solo female travellers. Filipinos are known for being friendly and welcoming to their country. The Philippines has something for all types of traveller whether you're into islands, beaches and diving or culture and nightlife.

Most of the locals speak English which is really helpful too. The Philippines is a popular backpacking destination and there are ex-pats here as well as digital nomads that come to co-work with others in Manilla or Cebu.

You may feel more at ease on the islands than in the capital as the islands have a more comfortable vibe.  If you do stay in Manilla when you venture into a shopping centre, restaurant or coffee shop, don’t be surprised by the presence of security guards. As with most big cities you need to be vigilant with your belongings so just keep an eye on your valuables if you’re spending time in the capital or Cebu for example. 

To meet others here, the best islands are Palawan (the most popular), Boracay or Siargoa which is an ideal place for the surfing Girl about the Globe. For those searching for yoga retreats in the Philippines, you can combine yoga with a week’s surf camp in Puritan Beach , Catanduanes.

If you’re here during the peak season you’ll find lots of beach goers that you can strike up a conversation with or choose a homestay to meet locals. If you’re feeling apprehensive about going to the Philippines alone consider taking one of the recommended group tours .

* Before you travel, check what paperwork or visas are required for The Philippines .  

Views of Treasure Mountain

If you like museums then the capital is a good place to start. Many of the things to see in Manilla are the museums. Delve into the country’s history at the Museo Filipino Intramuros Museum, visit the National Museum of Anthropology, or just “be in the moment” in historically significant locations like Luneta Park and the historic walled city of Intramuros, also located nearby.

A little bit further out but well worth a visit, is the Pinto Art Museum at Antipolo, which features exhibits from a wide range of Filipino artists. The museum is spread out through a number of inter-connected mission-style buildings set in well-maintained tropical gardens. The buildings and many of the artworks provide fantastic backdrops.

Pinto Art Museum

Other recommended Manila tourist attractions are the Museum of the Filipino People, and the Presidential Museum and Library to learn more about the country’s current and past presidents. 

Manila is also good for the shopping Girl about the Globe with some of the world’s largest shopping malls like SM City North EDSA and SM Megamall where you can find a variety of retail shops and restaurants.

Just a short ride away from the Megamall are two more cities that are pulsing with life, day in and day out; Bonifacio Global City and Makati City. Both can be holiday destinations in their own right with plenty more shopping and places to eat out in between.

For those who want sand, sun, and sea, transport yourself to a tropical island on a good old beach trip. You can’t visit the Philippines and not go to at least one. White-sand beaches go without saying and some of these like the ones in Palawan or Siargao are nothing short of beautiful but the country is home to many other types of beaches too.

For starters, there’s Lantangan Beach in Caramoan. Other than having smooth pebbles on the shore rather than sand, it’s also referred to as the “singing beach.” When the waves crash along the pebbles, you can hear them producing soft sounds at different pitches.

The Philippines is also home to pink beaches with seven to choose from. You can find these at Zamboanga, Northern Samar, Sorsogon, Davao Oriental, Camarines Norte, and Palawan. These Philippines' must-sees are definitely even more beautiful because of their iconic sunsets and the beautiful hues at the end of each day.

Yes, the Philippines really is this gorgeous (photo @ Jess Willow)

Palawan Island Philippines

If you only get to see one island in the Philippines make it Palawan. With UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a charming fishing village, this island should be at the top of your Philippines bucket list. I spent 8 nights on the island and loved it. El Nido is a fantastic place for solos. The town itself is full of massage parlours, bars and restaurants and has a ‘Thailand backpacker vibe.' For somewhere a little classier, you could stay in Lio Beach which is less than 10 minutes by tricycle. 

On the other side of Palawan is Puerto Princesa, the capital. You can travel by minivan from El Nido to here but it does take 6 hours on windy roads. 

The most famous tourist attraction here is the underground river, a UNESCO cave system where you can take a boat ride inside its caves and marvel at all of the unique formations. Then there's the island hopping where you can  explore the lagoons and sinkholes of the Bacuit archipelago. The shipwrecks here offer amazing diving, plus you can lay on an amazing beach afterwards.

The pictures don’t even do it justice. In fact, it’s so good that it’s even been named The Best Island in the World. If that’s not reason enough to book a trip to the Philippines then I don’t know what is.

Parasailing anyone? (photo @ Saranya Dinakaran)

Boracay is one of the most popular attractions for a reason. As well as the infamous White Beach Boracay, the island attracts scuba divers and adrenalin seekers who come to parasail above the islands or experience the thrill of the wind racing through their hair on a speedboat ride. It has all the adrenaline sports you can think of including the large inflatable rides, zorbs and zip-lines.

If you want to meet others, this is the place. Stay a few days and the commercialism may get too much so plan your escape through island hopping and sail to Puka beach and Crocodile Island (which doesn’t actually have any crocodiles). 

Naked Island Camigiun (photo @ Katrina Adinda Djajadiningrat

Diving in the Philippines

Known as one of the best places in the world for diving, the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is an amazing dive site which has a UNESCO World Heritage status. Dive off Panglao Island at the Black Forest site to see black coral. Or if big sharks are more your thing, go diving (or just swimming) with whale sharks at Malapascua Island.

Philippines diving doesn’t have to be restricted to the daytime. If you’ve never done a night dive, here is as good a place as any. Night diving in El Nido gives you the opportunity to watch an amazing sunset amongst limestone karst and experience the sea life and enchantment of the bioluminescence bay.

Camiguin Island

Wildlife in The Philippines

For the wildlife GatG try and spot the Philippines tarsiers with their big eyes and rotating heads. Instead of going to the conservation centre in Bohol, see these cute little primates in their natural habitat on a night safari instead. Spotting them isn’t always guaranteed but you get to experience the tropical jungle in the dark and learn all about the fauna. 

Banaue (photo @ Katrina Adinda Djajadiningrat)

Mountains in The Philippines

The Philippines is perfect for the active GatG with many mountains with breathtaking views to climb and conquer. Pico De Loro is a great trail to start (there’s a beach here too), or head to Mt. Batulao in Batangas. For a little more adventure, the trails of Taal Volcano (also in Batangas) and the iconic Mt. Pinatubo are also friendly trails for beginners.

Or maybe you prefer being perched on limestones, overlooking a vast horizon at the Masungi Georeserve in Rizal province. This is also where you can find Treasure Mountain where you can ride to the top for a picture-perfect landscape of the Sierra Madre ranges.

For those who prefer somewhere off the beaten track with some solitude away from tourists, head to Port Barton, a beautiful, quiet village close to a gorgeous white beach. There is so much to do here from hiking in the Cordillera Central mountains, admiring coral churches, marvelling at towering rice terraces in Banaue, and getting the adrenalin flowing whilst canyoning at Kawasan Falls.

Traffic on El NIdo (photo @ Jess Willow)

Adventure Tourism in the Philippines

For the adventurous GatG, you can ride quad bikes (ATVs) over sand dunes in Paoay, off-road in Rizal province, or along the sides of active volcanoes such as Mt. Pinatubo in Tarlac or Mt. Mayon in Albay. Just don’t forget to bring extra clean clothes.

If you prefer going underground, kayak through the Underground River in Palawan to the Angono-Binangonan Petroglyphs Site to see more than 100 prehistoric drawings of humans and animals carved on its walls. There is so much more to the Philippines than the beaches.

Philippines Tours

G Adventures Tours – If you feel more comfortable in a group for either part of your trip or the whole duration, G Adventures is a responsible tour company which mainly caters towards budget travellers. Most tours have an average of 12 people and there is no upper age limit. Once you book one of their tours you pay extra for any excursions you want to do when you’re there.

G Adventures Philippines tours range from a 9 day Philippines Palawan Adventure, a 13 day Philippines Island Hopping trip, to a 16 day Northern Philippines and Palawan Adventure travelling from Manila to Puerto Princesa. Experience pristine beaches and discover the colonial history of the country’s capital whilst in the company of like-minded others. I have personally used G Adventures and recommend them as a solo female friendly company.  *  Click here for itineraries, prices, and start dates

Intrepid Travel Philippines – Intrepid Travel is similar to G Adventures with an average of 12 people on each tour. Over 50% of people who book their trips are solo travellers. They tend to use hotels instead of hostels for their tours to the Philippines and have a more comfortable style of accommodation hence the trips can appear a bit more than G Adventures.

Intrepid Philippines tours range from an 8 day Philippines Palawan island getaway, a 12 day Real Philippines tour, to an 18 day Philippines adventure beginning in Manilla, trekking through Banaue and ending in El Nido on a lush beach. With both tour companies you share a room with someone of the same gender or you can pay extra for your own room. Read our  Intrepid Travel Reviews

There are a lot of islands to travel around in the Philippines and even though the main islands are connected you may have to spend a few hours on a boat to reach them. The main hubs are Cebu and Manilla so you may not have a direct route depending on where you are travelling to. Rome 2 Rio is a good resource to plan your journey.

Find A Female Travel Companion in Manila, Share Costs & Travel Together

How GAFFL Works

Search destination, find female travel partners, get connected, trip together.

What GAFFL Users Are Saying

"It’s really nice to have a platform like GAFFL with lots of travelers wanting to do the same as you, a real beautiful cultural exchange. You can meet people so easily and in a trustful way. We were four girls, from French, German and American backgrounds, without knowing each other from before. We spent an amazing week together, 2000km driving, camping on the way. We saw kangaroos, koalas, penguins and pelicans"

“I have found GAFFL to be an amazing tool for finding similar minded travel partners to embark on an adventure. Through GAFFL, I had organized a trip to Mexico City last month and Quazi joined the trip from Victoria, BC. We spent 14 days of straight exploring, hiking, eating and drinking. Quite an amazing experience - all thanks to GAFFL!”

"I accidentally scrolled across GAFFL and I'm so pleased I did. I met Amaia and immediately decided to road-trip together. We're spending 10 days together and it's great because we have so much in common. Couldn't have done it without GAFFL helping us find one another! It has honestly made NZ so much cheaper to explore as I get to split the costs with someone too​"

Were you looking forward to a trip with your friends, only to find out that they had backed out last minute? Wondering how to find other women to travel with online? Even if your family and friends' schedules don't match yours, your vacation doesn't have to be ruined because of it. GAFFL can help you to find the perfect female travel companion for your next adventure.

The best way to find a travel buddy on GAFFL is to search for your desired destination and browse through thousands of user-generated trips created by solo female travelers around the world.

A good travel companion is someone who has a similar itinerary to you. It's also someone you think you'll get along with.

Every user on GAFFL has a profile where they list their interests. If you and your potential trip mate share some common interests, it’ll make your trip go a lot smoother.

It's also important to have a similar budget in mind. If your travel companion wants to do more activities and eat at expensive restaurants but you can’t afford it, it can lead to an unpleasant trip for the both of you.

When browsing trips on GAFFL, make sure to read through the trip details to learn more about the trip and determine if the activities are something you want to do and can afford.

If you like a trip on GAFFL, simply click 'Connect,' and you'll be able to chat with your travel buddy right away. If you have your own travel plans, you can start your own trip and others can request to connect with you!

Finding the right travel companion online can be difficult for solo travelers. GAFFL, on the other hand, makes it very simple. Use our world-class real-time messaging system to get to know your potential travel partner. Chat with them to see if they'd be a good travel companion for you, and then plan together, meet up with your travel buddy, and start exploring together.

GAFFL is the best website/app for solo female travelers looking for female travel companions online because we prioritize our travelers' trust and safety. Our multi-step verification process includes social media, phone number, and a valid government ID, so you can be confident in your potential travel companion. With adventurers from over 190 countries, you can connect, chat, and find the perfect female travel buddy to meet up with on GAFFL.

I think this is a fabulous idea because the things that can get expensive while solo traveling can usually also be easily split between people. If you aren’t a hostel fan, it would be awesome to have people to split hotels and Airbnb with.

If car rental is the cheapest way to get around a destination, it would be ideal to have others to split the costs with. But most importantly it always makes the experience that much more memorable when you have new friends to share it with.

Solo travel is great. But there are some times that I do not recommend someone travel solo and where I personally try my hardest not to travel solo. Some examples of this relate to safety, like hiking a trail that doesn’t have many people walking it each day, or being in certain destinations where I’ve heard from others that it’s difficult as a solo female.

Other examples relate to expenses, like taking a road trip and renting a car. Situations like these are where I think something like GAFFL is a great idea. With GAFFL, you can find a group to go on that hike with or split that car rental with!

We truly believe that the best memories and experiences are the ones that are shared with others. It doesn’t matter if you’ve known someone for an hour or your whole life, when you do something badass together it’s sure to be a time you won’t forget.

Making connections and becoming friends with people all over the world is such a powerful tool to have when traveling. One day maybe you’ll visit your new friend in their homeland. Some of the best trips happen when you have a friend playing tour guide in their country.

GAFFL is a really cool opportunity to enrich your travels with like-minded people who will push you to get out of your comfort zone. No matter what type of personality you have, making new friends on the road is easier than ever.

One of the things that hold people back is that they don’t have a partner or a best friend to travel with and they feel scared and uncertain to travel alone, especially long-term. GAFFL helps with that!

Another thing that holds people back is the perceived cost of travel. While travel doesn’t have to be expensive, it’s always more affordable when you can share the cost of accommodation and groceries with someone else. Again, GAFFL provides a solution for that!

I think GAFFL plays a role by allowing solo travelers to find travel buddies when needed. Though solo travel is a great way to travel, there are some experiences that are better enjoyed with more people (some don’t even allow for solo).

Friends and families are not always available to travel with, and sometimes the interests do not align for travel. Or sometimes you just want to socialize while still being solo most of the time. I think GAFFL helps solve these problems.

• Island Hopping

Philippines Island Explorer 13 day

I have just finished my Philippines Intro Tour with Andri and can honestly say it was an experience of a lifetime. Not only did we have two weeks in blissful paradise meeting 14 new worldwide best friends, dining on incredible food and having the best hospitality known to man by locals but also Andri as a leader was beyond incredible; the perfect balance between fun and cool, calm and collected. He was able to make the process so smooth and accommodating, not a single one of us ever had anything to worry about. I want to put a special mention in for his attitude and kindness. As a group we bonded extremely well, so much love and respect between everyone, and Andri was a core part of that; be it lending out his incredible fins, entertaining us with his singing, making sure safety was priority on nights out, being the loveliest with locals allowing us to get to know them on a deeper level or getting a personal best in free diving (17.5m what?!?) and us thinking I would need to take over because he was never returning from the darkness. This man smashed it. I have had the pleasure of doing three previous tours: Bali, Thailand and Vietnam and each tour has built its own reputation to assume the next will never be as good. This one.. was as good if not better in its own right. From canyoneering to white sand beach snorkelling, sunsets with Andri on guitar to scuba’ing shipwrecks, waterfall photo shoots to swimming with turtles ? every moment was magical. Would 1000% recommend to anybody thinking of going. It was that good, I’ve contemplated not only returning but becoming a leader myself. Lauren, London UK

Wanderlands Philippines - 12 Days

I had a wonderful 12 day trip in the Philippines. Our tour guide, Diane, went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. (She even made us the yummiest homemade spring rolls ????) We saw so many beautiful islands, beaches, and sunsets. I would 100% do this trip all over again.

• €145 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Philippines Island Hopper

Such an incredible experience! We saw and did so much on this tour, I’m not sure would have been possible on my own. Gema was such an incredible tour guide- kind, funny, inspiring, inclusive, helpful, etc. You can feel just how passionate she is about helping the communities we traveled to as well. Could not recommend this tour or Gema more ❤️

Philippines One Life Adventures - 14 Days

Great tour. Well organised and full of activities. Our tour guide Lini was super helpful and ensured we all had the best time.

• Hiking & Trekking

Ifugao Villages Trek

As a 62 year old trekker wanting to walk the amazing scenery of the Banaue rice fields this tour allowed me to take a suitable path to see as much as possible even with the backpack, while learning about the local cultures and lifestyle.

From Manila to the White Beaches of Bohol - 6 Days Package

Sagada & Banaue Rice Terraces 4-Day Tour

The trip was well worth it. All of the sights were beautiful and worth the long bus trips to and from Sagada and Banaue. It was a small group tour was only two couples. Fred was great as a tour guide. The Kamayan feast was very memorable and tasty at Bangaan on the last day. One of the best tours we’ve ever been on. Would definitely recommend it.

Philippines Palawan Island Getaway

Excellent tour and Ellise our guide was simply outstanding.

10 Days Do The Philippines Adventure Tour - Palawan Islands

This was an amazing 10 day tour of the Palawan islands in the Philippines. Starting at Puerto Prinsesa we journeyed up north through El Nido to Coron. Visiting must see locations with breathtaking views, it truly is an experience of a lifetime. The food was amazing and greatly exceeded all expectations, and our tour guide Jovian was excellent. He was so friendly and lively, doing his best to accommodate everyone, and make sure everything runs smoothly. He was very supportive of me and went above and beyond when I had an unfortunate injury at one of the beaches we went to. Overall the trip wouldn’t have been the same without him, he was one of the many highlights on this tour.

Had a fantastic experience with DYT, my highlight had to be zip lining, kawasan falls, and island hopping in El Nido. Met some amazing people on tour even though we only had a small group. I also really enjoyed the glamping accomodation at our castway island experience.

What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Philippines

Loved this tour! Was the perfect mix of activities and group time and relaxation / solo time. The 2 day island hopping with overnight stay on the remote island is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Our tour guide cece was amazing too and made it really fun and involved everyone. Best snorkelling I’ve ever done too! Definitely recommending to friends and will be booking another one life tour in the future

This was one of the best trips I've done. The itinerary was the perfect mix of activities and down time & I felt, hit the key places I'd travel to if doing it fully solo. Whilst the tour itself and the people I met on it were a big part of me having the best time, it wouldn't have been the same without our tour leader Andri. He helped join the group together before we even started and made everyone feel included once we got there. He was the best mix of chilled and reliable, super knowledgeable and put the needs of the group first like the wonderfully caring human he is. We always knew what we were doing and when and it felt like he made the trip run so smoothly - I only had to worry about turning up and having a good time. If you're thinking about booking this DO IT (and pray you'll have Andri has your leader)

Ultimate Philippines Itinerary for 10 Days, 2 Weeks or 3 Weeks

The Philippines is a huge archipelago of over 7000 islands, so putting together the perfect Philippines itinerary means that you have a lot of different destinations to choose from.

Each island is different too, and while that means that there’s something for every type of traveler, it also means that it’s always a challenging crafting a Philippines itinerary. 

You need to factor in logistics, the time you have to explore, and whether you want to see beaches and palm trees, or smoking volcanoes and mountaintops.

We are here to help you sift through the overwhelm and share with you our thoughts and experience from several visits with a combined total of more than 3 months of traveling in the Philippines .

Without further ado, here’s our guide to planning the perfect Philippines itinerary, no matter the length of your trip. 

Don’t leave home without: Lonely Planet Philippines (Country Guide)

Ultimate Philippines Itinerary

Table of Contents

Best Time to Visit the Philippines

The Philippines has a very tropical climate, and the year is predominantly split into a wet and a dry season. The climate varies of course, with mountainous regions enjoying a cooler climate, and the beaches having fiercely hot summers. 

The dry season is the best time to enjoy your Philippines itinerary. It falls between November and May, and you can expect clear skies, clear waters for snorkeling, and little chance of rain. 

The wet season sees huge storms hitting the Philippines, and these will often turn into large and potentially destructive typhoons. The wet season, between June and November, is not a good time to explore the Philippines.

Getting Around in the Philippines

This is a huge country, and with over 7000 islands spread out across a vast stretch of ocean, you’ll need to factor in some logistics when you’re planning your Philippines itinerary. 

The islands are spread over, and if you’ve only got two weeks, then you’ll need to fly between the major destinations. You can use Cebu or Manila as hubs, as from these airports you can reach almost any other city and island with either Air Asia, Philippines Airlines or Cebu Pacific.

If you’ve got longer, then you can take ferries and travel overland. Every island is connected by ferries, although these will vary in speed and level of comfort.

On land, you can take buses or minibusses between cities, while within cities you’ll either want to hire a tricycle or if you’re feeling adventurous, jump on a Jeepney. In Manila and Cebu, you’re best using the ride-hailing app Grab to get around quickly and safely. 

Costs and Budgets

The Philippines can be an inexpensive country to travel around, especially if you stick to local transport and food, and stay in dorms or budget hotels.

You can get away with spending as little as USD 20 a day, plus the cost of activities such as island hopping or snorkeling. 

On the other end of the spectrum, in destinations such as Boracay and even Manila, you can spend much more, and splurge on luxurious hotels and gourmet restaurants. 

Read reviews and check prices with our Hotel Search Engine , which gives you the best hotel deals found on the web. Our search engine pulls results from all of the major booking places, including Expedia, Hotels, Booking and more. All the options, all the deals, all in one place and just for you.

Safety Tips in the Philippines

The Philippines has a mixed reputation when it comes to safety because this is a country that often makes it into the news for its admittedly frequent natural disasters and internal conflicts. 

Yes, there are insurgencies in the south, and yes, there are active volcanoes and a fierce typhoon season. But plan well, and keep an eye on the weather and you’ll stay out of trouble. 

Filipinos are some of the friendliest and most hospitable people in the world, and you’ll soon find out why the country’s tourism slogan is ‘It’ s more fun in the Philippines’. 

Ideal 10 Day Philippines Itinerary

While these 10 days could be produced in more than a hundred varieties, I think it is important to note that we are building this route for first-time visitors to the Philippines.

This will include some of the most famous and popular places that you simply cannot miss when you come to the Philippines.

Of course, you’re free to substitute and head off to whatever places beckon to you, but no matter how you swing it, these places are a must.

10 Day Philippines Itinerary Overview:

• Day 1: Arrive in Manila – depending on time, do some afternoon sightseeing
• Day 2: Fly to Coron in the morning – explore the area or book an afternoon tour
• Day 3: Island Hopping tour around Coron Island
• Day 4: Island Hopping tour around nearby islands
• Day 5: Fly to Cebu in the morning
• Day 6: Cebu – take a day trip to Kawasan Falls
• Day 7: Fly to Caticlan and take the ferry to Boracay
• Day 8: Boracay
• Day 9: Fly to Manila in the morning – spend the day exploring the city and visiting its sites
• Day 10: Depart the Philippines

With 7,000 islands, the options are literally endless. That said, we’ve been many times and this will give you a good taste of the best.

While at first glance the Philippines look easy and you may think that you can see a lot of areas in 10 days, this is not the case. Logistics are something most people overlook when planning a Philippines itinerary.

There are very few islands that are connected to each other by flights. This means that to change islands, in most cases, you will have to fly back to Manila and then onwards to the new place. This also has to be done as segments and you will not be able to book the flights on one reservation.

This requires a lot of planning and sadly, a lot of time spent in airports, especially if you have luggage. As you have to collect and recheck on each segment.

So the overview we provided above is one of the most seamless ways to see a few of the most famous areas in the Philippines without having to fly back to Manila. You’re welcome!

Manila: 1 to 2 Days

Manila is the sprawling, chaotic and hectic capital of the Philippines, and while most travelers need to pass through here to get elsewhere, few actually hang around for too long. 

It’s not all traffic and smog though, and it’s well worth hanging around for at least a day or two to get under the skin of the Philippines’ largest city because this is where you’ll find history and heritage in abundance. 

Popular Things to See in Manila

Visit the old Spanish colonial city, Intramuros, where you can see the stone bastions that defended Manila for centuries, and delve deep into the local heritage. 

Unravel the historical threads of Philippine culture as you stroll Manila’s 16th-century walled city, Intramuros, with a guide . Hear how Manila evolved through Malay, Spanish, American, and Japanese eras; learn about pre-colonization peoples and the national hero Dr. José Rizal.

The financial hub of Makati is Manila’s trendiest district. It’s a great place to stay, and a great place for fusion food and craft beers when the sun goes down. 

Discover historical information you may have missed, on a private half-day tour of Makati , a great introduction for first-time visitors. Check off highlights such as San Agustin Church and Museum, Rizal Park and Shrine, Fort Santiago and Intramuros, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

No other district in Manila can beat Binondo when it comes to food. This is Manila’s Chinatown, and it’s an epic world of food, markets, and culture.

Coron: 3 to 4 Days

Travel to Coron to find one of the most spectacular places in the country. No Philippines itinerary is complete without at least 3 days in Coron, but to see everything, you’ll need to save as much as a week to explore. 

Coron is rapidly growing into a top destination, but it still remains beautifully rustic, and in many places, totally uncrowded too. There are towering limestone cliffs, clear freshwater lagoons, and remote, isolated islands . 

Popular Things to See in Coron

KAYANGAN LAKE

The most popular tourist attraction in Coron is Kayangan Lake . This beautiful, freshwater lake is steeped in local legend and is refreshingly clear and cool to swim in. 

Book this great full-day tour that takes in all the island’s highlights, including snorkeling at the Siete Pecados Marine Park and Coral Eden, a boat cruise around Kayangan Lake, and swimming at the Twin Lagoons, plus a delicious seafood lunch on Calachuchi Beach.

MOUNT TAPYAS

For a view over the islands, then hike up the steps that lead from Coron Town to the summit of Mount Tapyas. It’s the best spot in Coron for sunset. 

PASS ISLAND

Head to Pass Island to find one of Coron’s most remote, yet spectacular destinations. Maroon yourself on Pass Island, where you can enjoy white sands and relaxed Island vibes. 

Read more Coron Palawan: Itinerary & Best Things to D o

Cebu: 2 to 3 Days

Cebu is home to the Philippines’ second city, Cebu City, but away from the metropolis, it’s a verdant, green paradise brimming with waterfalls and beaches. 

Popular Things to See in Cebu

If you’ve ever wanted to swim with shoals of hundreds of thousands of sardines, then take a trip to Moal Boal. Jump into the water off the beach and you’ll be immersed in the sardine runs. 

KAWASAN FALLS

Head to Kawasan Falls, where you can find the most spectacular waterfall in the Philippines. You can swim in turquoise plunge pools, or jump from towering cliffs into the water far below. 

If you are looking for an adrenaline-filled tour, no trip to Cebu is complete without visiting the Kawasan Canyon. Explore the canyon in a safe and secure environment during a full-day excursion from Cebu in a small group .

Jump into pools from heights of up to 30 feet (9 meters) and swim through caves and rivers. Plus, you’ll hike through the forest and enjoy lunch at Kawasan Falls.

Boracay: 2 to 3 Days

The most famous island in the Philippines is Boracay. This is the original tropical paradise, where you can find white sand beaches and fiery sunsets. 

But Boracay suffered from over-tourism and was forced to close for 6 months for a massive cleanup. It’s reopened though, and the future looks bright. 

Popular Things to See in Boracay

WHITE BEACH

The most iconic place in Boracay is White Beach. This long stretch of sand is glorious, and one of the most famous beaches in the Philippines. 

D’MALL

Head to D’Mall, just off the beach, where you can find Boracay’s best bars and restaurants. 

ISLAND HOPPING

Boracay has great beaches and is surrounded by great islands and snorkeling spots. The best way to explore is to join an island hopping tour.

Ideal 2 Week Philippines Itinerary

Using the initial 10-day itinerary as our base from above, we are going to build on that for the 2 week Philippines itinerary.

Honestly, it won’t look a whole lot different, with the exception of adding additional destinations. As I’ve already mentioned, the biggest hurdle is logistics in the Philippines.

So you want to plan your itinerary in a way that minimizes your time on airplanes, in airports and instead maximizes your time out adventuring.

With that said, I want to show your two viable options to maximize your 2 week Philippines itinerary below. There is no right answer, it truly depends on your interests.

2 Week Philippines Itinerary Overview – OPTION A:

• Day 4: Island Hopping tour or start 5-day sea expedition to El Nido
• Day 5: Fly to El Nido
• Day 6: El Nido
• Day 7: Travel overland to Puerto Princesa
• Day 8: Puerto Princesa
• Day 9: Fly to Cebu in the morning
• Day 10: Cebu – take a day trip to Kawasan Falls
• Day 11: Fly to Caticlan and take the ferry to Boracay
• Day 12: Boracay
• Day 13: Fly to Manila in the morning – spend the day exploring the city and visiting its sites
• Day 14: Depart the Philippines

2 Week Philippines Itinerary Overview – OPTION B:

• Day 4: Island Hopping tour
• Day 5: Fly to Bohol in the morning
• Day 6: Bohol/ Panglao
• Day 7: Bohol/ Panglao
• Day 8: Ferry to Cebu
• Day 9: Cebu – take a day trip to Kawasan Falls
• Day 10: Cebu – island tour

As your Philippines itinerary gets longer, you’ll be required to navigate trickier logistics. With 2 weeks, though, you can still be pretty fluid and avoid going back to Manila between islands on both of the above itineraries.

Taking island hopping day tours and utilizing local ferries in each of these destinations will allow you to explore more of the area, as well.

Palawan 4 to 5 Days

To the south of Coron, you can find Palawan, an island that’s often been called the Last Frontier of the Philippines. While many places here are far from untouched now, few places can match Palawan for raw beauty. 

Visit El Nido for parties and island hopping, head to Puerto Princesa for beaches and underground rivers, or travel far south to get really off the beaten track. 

Popular Things to See in Palawan

Located on the northern tip of Palawan, El Nido is a must-visit for any Philippines itinerary.

A sleepy little fishing village has grown into the number one backpacking spot in the Philippines, and once you start island hopping, you’ll soon understand why. 

Enjoy the beautiful coastline scenery on this full-day sightseeing cruise from El Nido . Relax onboard the boat while traveling around the islands and beaches of Bacuit Bay.

This includes 7 Commando Beach, Shimizu Island, and Secret Lagoon. Stop for swimming and snorkeling using the provided equipment, and refuel midday with a buffet lunch.

PUERTO PRINCESA UNDERGROUND RIVER

Close to Palawan’s largest city, you can find an unusual UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Underground River is a remarkable network of waterways that have carved a route through limestone rocks. 

Visit the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, and paddle down the Puerto Princesa Underground River on this 8-hour tour .

Board a boat at the mouth of the cave at Sabang Wharf, and stop at the Buenavista viewpoint for views of the Ulugan Bay.

Located far south, Balabac is about as off the beaten track as you can go in Palawan. Think raw Island scenery and untouched beaches.

Bohol: 2 to 3 Days

Bohol is the perfect place to visit if you’re putting together your first Philippines itinerary. 

You can visit the famed Chocolate Hills, hang out on Alona Beach, and island-hop to beautiful natural spots. 

Popular Things to See in Bohol

CHOCOLATE HILLS

One of the most famous places in the Philippines, no one should miss out on these legendary chocolate-colored hilltops. 

Enjoy a full-day tour of Bohol Island while traveling with an informative guide around the stunning island. Relax during a lunch cruise on the Loboc River.

Here you’ll have the opportunity to spot indigenous Philippine tarsiers, some of the smallest primates in the world, and then take in the Chocolate Hills from several vantage points.

ALONA BEACH

Found on Panglao Island, Alona Beach is the best place to stay in Bohol. White sands, fiery sunsets, and great snorkeling and diving opportunities.

Ideal 3 Week Philippines Itinerary

Continuing to build off the above itineraries, we have an additional week to play with when we consider a 3 week Philippines itinerary. In my opinion, you still want to avoid routing back through Manila, if at all possible.

However, with a 3-week itinerary, you’re going to find yourself flying back through either Manila or Cebu to access some other places.

Unless, of course, you choose to use your additional week to extend your stays in Coron, El Nido/Palawan, Cebu, Boracay or Bohol. All of which are perfectly acceptable options.

If you want to know the truth, we’d happily spend 3 solid weeks just in Palawan! So each to their own, but there is still plenty to check out in the Philippines, so don’t be shy about island hopping either.

3 Week Philippines Itinerary Overview – OPTION A:

• Day 2: Take Bus & Ferry to Puerto Galera
• Day 3: Puerto Galera
• Day 4: Puerto Galera – afternoon ferry/bus to Manila
• Day 5: Fly to Coron in the morning – explore the area or book an afternoon tour
• Day 6: Island Hopping tour around Coron Island
• Day 7: Island Hopping tour or start 5-day sea expedition to El Nido
• Day 8: Fly to El Nido
• Day 9: El Nido
• Day 10: Travel overland to Puerto Princesa
• Day 11: Puerto Princesa
• Day 12: Fly to Cebu in the morning
• Day 13: Cebu – take a day trip to Kawasan Falls
• Day 14: Fly to Siargao
• Day 15: Siargao
• Day 16: Siargao
• Day 17: Fly to Cebu and overnight
• Day 18: Fly to Caticlan and take the ferry to Boracay
• Day 19: Boracay
• Day 20: Fly to Manila in the morning – spend the day exploring the city and visiting its sites
• Day 21: Depart the Philippines

3 Week Philippines Itinerary Overview – OPTION B:

• Day 11: Fly to Siargao
• Day 12: Siargao
• Day 13: Siargao
• Day 14: Fly to Cebu and overnight
• Day 15: Fly to Caticlan and take the ferry to Boracay
• Day 16: Boracay
• Day 17: Boracay
• Day 18: Ferry to Caticlan and fly to Manila
• Day 19: Manila – spend the day exploring the city and visiting its sites
• Day 20: Manila – day trip to Taal Volcano

A 3-week Philippines itinerary, no doubt, will give you a solid amount of time to see some of the best areas of the Philippines. You’ll get into multiple provinces and regions while having a nice balance of beaches, islands and adventure.

It is possible to venture further afield, and of course, there are still plenty of places in the Philipines that are worth a visit, even though they are not mentioned above.

Puerto Galera: 2 to 3 Days

Located just a short journey to the south of Manila, you can quickly escape the urban jungle with a trip to Puerto Galera.

Take a ferry from Batangas to the island of Mindoro, where you’ll find beautiful beaches, jungle-clad waterfalls, and excellent snorkeling and diving. 

Popular Things to See in Puerto Galera

The best beach in Puerto Galera is White Beach, known for its perfect white sands. 

Head inland to explore the crashing, towering waterfalls of Puerto Galera. 

SNORKELING & DIVING

Puerto Galera is surrounded by world-class reefs, and an unbelievable level of biodiversity is awaiting you beneath the waves. 

It is also a fantastic place to get your PADI scuba certification. So if you want to do some diving in the Philippines, or need a refresher course, Puerto Galera is a fantastic place to do this.

Siargao: 3 to 4 Days

Siargao is the most up and coming island in the Philippines. Made famous by Instagrammers showing off the rustic jungles and glorious beaches, this is a place where tourism is only going to increase. 

It’s also well known for its surfing opportunities and laid back island vibe. This has made it a popular backpacker hangout, but even is that isn’t your style, you should still add it to your list.

Popular Things to See in Siargao 

Siargao is the Philippines’ best-known surf spot, and there are plenty of great breaks to test your skills on. 

There’s not just one island here though, there are hundreds, and the best way to explore is on an island-hopping trip. 

Visit General Luna, Naked Island, Daku Island, and Guyam Island on a full-day tour of the Siargao Island area from Manila . Learn about the culture, history, and ecosystem of each distinct island through guided commentary as you travel.

Philippines Scuba Diving Itinerary

The Philippines is a scuba diving mecca, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention this aspect for building a Philippines itinerary. If it is the world-class scuba diving that you seek, then your itinerary is going to look a lot different.

This has a lot to do with the stipulations about flying after diving. So you have to be very thoughtful about how you layout your itinerary.

The best diving in the Philippines is found around Palawan and Cebu. This means you will want to plan your itinerary to maximize time under the water in these regions and utilize the ferry services that run to the various dive areas from the hubs of Coron and Cebu.

Overview of the Best Scuba Diving Locations:

• Puerto Galera

Beginners or people that wish to get their PADI Open Water certification should look to places like Puerto Galera and Coron. Both places are also great options for getting your PADI Advanced Open Water certification.

Experienced divers will want to head to Coron to dive on WWII shipwrecks before heading to Cebu, where they can access world-famous dive sites in Malapascua, Dumaguete and Panglao, to name a few.

As you can see, the places mentioned vary a bit from those listed in the more standard itineraries above. Of course, if you’re scuba diving for fun, you’ll be able to find great diving almost anywhere in the country.

Putting it All Together

As I’ve said multiple times, there are hundreds of possible outcomes for building a Philippines itinerary that works for you. There is no right or wrong way to do it.

Where you go and what you do will have a lot to do with how much time you have and your budget. It is possible to experience the Philippines as a backpacker on a budget, in a high-end luxury way and everything in between.

Cebu Women Singles Tours

Can you imagine a tropical island with white sand beaches and stunningly beautiful women who speak your language and are excited to meet a man like you?

Stop imagining. It’s called Cebu and they are Cebu Women.

Cebu is a city full of naturally lovely Cebu women who hold traditional values tightly, and their families even tighter. These stunning women of Philippines will firstly spoil you by speaking English far better than other Asians. If she loves you, she will spoil you even further, caring for you in ways forgotten in the West.

The warmth, concern, and appreciation Filipino women show for the men they love is undeniable. Their innate femininity and focus on family and the future, along with their attention-grabbing gorgeousness, are all equally inescapable.

You haven’t dated until you’ve tried foreign dating.

You haven’t loved until you’ve been loved by a Cebuana.

Why Cebu Women?

On our Cebu tours, you will have the opportunity to enjoy international dating and potentially meet hundreds of these dazzlingly charming exotic Asian women . Here are just a few reasons why that should excite you:

• Their smiles, their charisma and, their interest will make you feel special.
• The fact that they are looking for a man, just like you, will make you feel unbelievably lucky.
• Cebuanas have a sophisticated understanding of what it takes to make relationships work and the level of understanding it takes to bring two lives together.
• Cebuanas appreciate the simple, important, things in life and for many of the women at our events the only thing they truly want is fidelity.

Single Filipino women at our socials constantly tell us the number one thing they are looking for in a man: loyalty. In her society, infidelity is something that most women go through at some point. So, when a Cebuana has a good, loyal man, she is truly thankful and willing to work through any relationship issue, including distance.

Why Cebu Women Are Interested In You!

• Apart from loyalty, maturity is one of the attributes most prized by Filipina singles.
• Filipino women are always focused on family, the one already in their life and the one they hope to build with their husband. Maturity to them means a man who knows who he is and is ready to start his own family with her.
• Cebuanas are very open to other cultures, especially Western cultures and are excited by the thought of having a foreign love.
• Cebu women view Western men as more chivalrous and gentlemanly.

Cebuanas also tend to be enchanted by life outside of their country and are very receptive to learning more about you and how you live.

Apart from Cebuana’s themselves, Cebu is a fascinating, festive, and historical city of roughly 3 million. There are numerous cultural landmarks that can be enjoyed during international dating with your Cebu woman, including several related to the beginning of Catholicism in the Philippines, which was the ending point for the first man to circumnavigate the globe, Ferdinand Magellan. Cebu also boasts world-class shopping, dining and entertainment.

Cebu’s premier party is the annual Sinulog festival in January, a gigantic street fiesta that celebrates Catholicism’s arrival.

The culture itself is a unique blend of Filipino, Spanish, Chinese and American influences, with a local language to match. You can also find these influences within the faces of the Cebuanas you will meet on your romance tour, whose beauty has been defined by this attractive mélange of ethnicities.

Our Romance tours are world-renowned for the service, accommodation, and attention to detail we provide. They include:

• Two fully catered, specific invitation, large Socials
• World- class Hotel accommodations in Cebu Philippines
• Unlimited Personal Introductions
• Airport Pickup
• Breakfast daily
• One hotel area and city orientation tour
• 24-hour hospitality and guidance from our tour staff
• In-house complimentary interpreting services in our offices
• 1 month Platinum Membership ($95.00 value)
• Publication "The Foreign Bride Travel Guide" ($25 value)

Our socials, where hundreds of Filipino women arrive, dressed in their best, hoping to meet the man they want to be with, are truly indescribable.

While our group tours are immensely popular among international men and Cebu women, we also offer year-round club tours for those interested in an individual international dating experience.

Just read our testimonials below to see how much of a life-changing experience our Cebu Tours and socials can be.

I found my new wife to be. She was one that I had been emailing for a few months. But seeing her in person sealed the deal for me. She in fact ,got up and sang a song to me at one of the socials. they were nice enough to allow her to sing and she brought the house down,,They said that they would get her a dvd of her performance, that was so thoughtful. soon as we marry,.. I am taking her to "Nashville" ,She was great.. You were right, about my worries of using the wheelchair due to my recent surgery, It was no problem. the girls looked right past that and looked at the man.. I never felt out of place These ladies really were the best and you should be proud of your organization , The hotel was as nice as any hotel in Vegas that I have stayed at ,and thats the truth.. They charged us for every little thing ,except maybe for the "air" we breathed , but that is their culture and we adapted . the service and food was impeccable. a real first class place to stay. If I could. I would go back tomorrow John. Thank you for a great experience and the little promo that they asked me to do on tape, was sincere and true and I meant every word of this

How To Find A Filipina Travel Companion

It’s easy to find a beautiful Filipina travel companion. There are plenty of eager girls that would love to travel, but they can’t afford it.

This means if you offer the opportunity to travel, you can find friendship and intimacy with a much younger Filipina.

Filipinas with the travel bug are young, energetic and love to have fun.

I’m talking about regular girls here, like university and office girls, not hookers. Everyday Filipinas with the dream of a multi-country trip but limited funds to achieve it.

The good thing about everyday girls in the Philippines is their naive nature and tendency to say yes to any of your requests.

It’s truly a lifetime experience spending a holiday together with a young and innocent Filipina.

However, before all the good things can happen during a holiday with a Filipina, you need to be able to find and attract one from the other side of the ocean.

Are You A Fun Travel Buddy?

Don’t look like a sex tourist, meet girls on facebook, meet girls on arrangement sites, best and worst holiday girlfriends in the philippines.

Most men worry about their age or other stuff when it’s time to recruit a beautiful Filipina to travel together. But she is going to judge him not based on looks or age, but likeability and fun personality.

Filipinas, for the most part, are very used to the idea to go around with an older man, they don’t feel ashamed for that.

If you are 10-20 years older then her, it doesn’t really matter. What matters is the way you portrait yourself.

Of course, if you are 50 + years old and you want a girl in her 20s, you better rent a Filipino girlfriend .

Filipinas who are into traveling love to be around fun, friendly and outgoing men. No woman wants to travel with a creepy guy, even if he promises her to go around the Philippines on a private yacht.

So it’s important to be seen as a cool guy, that loves to have fun and eager to explore.

As you know, the first impression matter a lot.

If you look handsome and in good shape, that is an initial good reason for her to go on holiday with you. She can rationalize to herself “Oh, it is handsome, I would like to go on holiday with him”.

However, if you aren’t so handsome or your belly is oversized, then you need to give her a reason to be interested to be your travel companion. Show that you are a friendly and outgoing man.

She might not ask you directly the question, but you can bet that she is thinking about it. After all, there are many sex tourists in the Philippines.

Local girls aren’t blind, they see more often than not foreign men buying the service of prostitutes, instead of pursuing dates with quality Filipina girls.

So it’s normal that she feels hesitant about you because she doesn’t have any references regarding your background.

You want to prove her upfront that you are a nice and well-intentioned man who wants only a female travel companion during his trip to the Philippines.

So, how to do that?

Upload a few pictures of yourself traveling around the world with other people, even better if with women. That state you are a friendly traveler that loves people.

If you haven’t any travel photos, you can always post pictures of yourself with family and friends back home. Better if doing funny activities like birthday parties or similar.

Don’t shy away from the possibility to render yourself vulnerable, Filipina will instinctively trust you.

In conclusion, when a man doesn’t reassemble the image of a creepy sex tourist, a Filipina will accept the possibility to go on a holiday with him.

Best Ways To Find A Filipina Travel Companion

If you are looking for an everyday girl to join you during a holiday in the Philippines, Facebook and arrangement sites are the best places to scout for girls.

If you are young, good looking and with an interesting lifestyle, I recommend using Facebook to find a Filipina travel companion.

Facebook is a very superficial platform, it’s pretty much all about looks, lifestyle, and likeability.

If you don’t have at least two of these elements, most Filipinas aren’t going to be the least interested. But if you do, you have good chance to hook up with a travel buddy.

So, how to get started on Facebook .

Find a cute girl who seems fun, single, and preferably lives close to the area you want to visit.

Next, you want to look at her Facebook profile and get somewhat familiar with her page. Learn about her interests, find out what she’s about and the food that she enjoys eating, etc.

That helps you to learn about her personality so you will be able to build an emotional connection.

Send a message related to her interest and hobby that she mentioned on her profile page. Obviously better if they match with yours.

Photography is a hobby that matches very well with girls that love traveling… And the best part is you get her to take all the photos of your trip so you don’t have to bother yourself.

When you feel comfortable, let her know your intention to visit her place and ask if she is up for some traveling together.

Hot Filipinas who want to travel but can’t afford it, turn to arrangement sites to find a man that can take them on a trip.

Imagine how fun will be your holiday with a beautiful and young Filipina…

She will look after your needs and make sure you’ll have a good time with her.

As you support her while traveling, she’ll do anything to make you happy. You won’t get complaints or drama as when traveling with a regular girlfriend.

It means you get all the benefits of a girlfriend’s experience like intimacy and companionship but without the disadvantages. If you ever went with a girlfriend for a holiday, long faces and silence are the norms rather than the exception.

The best way to find a Filipina travel companion is to use an arrangement site like Seeking Arrangement . Plenty of Filipinas eager to be your travel buddy.

On the left sidebar, you can seek for girls interested to travel with you…

That helps to filter out the girls that are looking for other types of arrangements.

When contacting the girls, be direct: “Hi, my name is… I noticed your profile and that you love to travel. I can offer… Are you interested?”

I’ve found this formula works best when trying to break the ice with girls on Seeking Arrangement.

Remember to upload photos on your profile that portray you as a fun and energetic man. Girls with the travel bug tend to be attracted to that type of personality.

When writing about yourself on the bio, make sure to mention that you love to travel and are looking for a like-minded companion.

If you have the choice, go for student girls. They are easy-going, naive, and great fun to be around.

Their main focus is to have a great time with you while experience different places. Student girls are curious and enjoy learning from older men all the good things life has to offer.

The worst thing you can do is to take a bar girl or prostitute with you during your trip.

Working girls are only interested to get as much money possible from you to feed their families. They don’t care about you or to discover new places, they only want money.

It can get tiresome to deal with a girl trying to extract money out of every occasion.

For example, you walk in front of a shop and she asks for gifts. You pay for the meal at the restaurant and she asks for the change.

An everyday Filipina like a student would never do that.

In conclusion, girls from red-light areas aren’t a good choice as holiday girlfriends. Students are the way to go.
