00:00It's been 12 months and there are a lot of people who can't wait for the vacation season.
00:05So if you are one of those who are planning your dream vacation,
00:10this is perfect for you to talk about this morning.
00:14We will talk to Travel Enthusiast Marian Tagaca
00:19to ask for tips when it comes to travel
00:22and make sure that our travel bucket list is perfect and complete.
00:27Good morning Marian, welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.
00:30I'm so happy to be here.
00:31It's like I was just with you earlier.
00:33We came here together.
00:34Anyway, Marian, what should you do first when you are planning to travel?
00:40Of course, you should check your visa requirements first.
00:43Because in the Philippines, not everyone is visa-free.
00:47In ASEAN, we are visa-free.
00:49But in countries that have visas, you should check it first.
00:53You should check how long the stay is, what are the requirements,
00:57because sometimes it's hard, especially in Japan and Korea,
01:02it's hard to get a visa, especially if you don't have a complete paperwork.
01:05That's necessary.
01:06Just for everybody's information, Marian has visited all the provinces in the Philippines
01:12and even all the ASEAN countries.
01:14Yes.
01:15Now, this is my question.
01:18Because usually for us, it's time management.
01:21It's hard to go on vacation because you have responsibilities that you have to leave.
01:25Yes.
01:26So how do you manage your time?
01:27And of course, how do you budget so that you have money to spend when you travel?
01:31Yes.
01:32Actually, the budget depends on you.
01:34When my friends ask me, how much do you spend?
01:39Actually, I can't answer because it depends on me.
01:41For example, on food.
01:42Of course, there's a time when you can eat at Social.
01:45So that you can experience it.
01:46There's a time when you can eat at 7-Eleven.
01:48That's fine.
01:49You can do that.
01:50You just need to balance.
01:51Even for activities, some are expensive, some are cheap.
01:54So you just need to balance what's more important or what you want to experience.
01:58It's the memories that you're keeping.
02:00Yes.
02:01Not really about the budget.
02:03If you can budget.
02:04Well, there are a lot of videos online that you can watch.
02:07Yes.
02:08There are a lot.
02:09You can see what you should expect.
02:11For example, in that place.
02:12What do you expect?
02:13What should you go to?
02:15So you can plan it well.
02:16What's the only thing you'll give as a budget.
02:18Well, Maureen, as a travel enthusiast, what are the recommended places that our RSP can go to?
02:25So far, for example, now that it's raining, we can go to Abra.
02:30Locally first.
02:31We can go to Abra.
02:32Oh, the big falls?
02:33Yes.
02:34The Pargan Falls.
02:35That's really what we cater to Gala PH.
02:37For a tour now, because it's really open when it rains.
02:42When it rains, it's really beautiful there.
02:44Like, it's really beautiful.
02:46It's not dangerous to go there.
02:47Not really.
02:48Like, it's easier now.
02:49It's easier now.
02:50Like, two-hour monster truck ride.
02:52So, Abra.
02:53So, Abra for local.
02:54Okay.
02:55For international, you can go to Hong Kong, to Japan, of course.
02:59Because now, they're going to the autumn season.
03:03So it's a bit cold.
03:04It's a bit cold.
03:05Yes.
03:06So, it's beautiful.
03:07And the people's bucket list now is Northern and Central Vietnam.
03:12So, Sapa, Danang, Hoi An.
03:14That's my bucket list.
03:16It's really on my list.
03:18So, next year, I'll go there.
03:21So, Marian, do you have any tips for travelers?
03:23Because we have different cultures.
03:25Sometimes, there are cultures that you might violate.
03:30What should a traveler think?
03:34So, when they go to a place, they won't violate any culture.
03:38Yes.
03:39Also, do your research.
03:41The culture is very important, especially in Japan.
03:43Their culture is different.
03:45Almost everyone doesn't speak English.
03:47So, the older people, you have to respect them.
03:51Like, they have a courtesy on the train ride.
03:54They have a courtesy on buying at the store.
03:57They have it.
03:58You should follow it.
03:59So, it's different.
04:00You should also research.
04:01You should also research the places you're going to.
04:03What should be their culture?
04:05You can't just do it because of what you see.
04:10You can't do that.
04:11As much as possible, we respect.
04:13And we really respect the elders in the places.
04:16Okay.
04:17It seems like we really deserve to go to different places.
04:20Yes.
04:21Because of the effort we put in every day.
04:23We deserve it.
04:24Yes.
04:25Sometimes, we can do that.
04:26Well, I'll go back to finances.
04:27If you're traveling internationally,
04:29where is it more advisable to exchange money?
04:34For now, with our technology,
04:36mostly, when we go abroad, we don't exchange money anymore.
04:40Okay.
04:41We withdraw money from local banks abroad.
04:44It's charged.
04:45No.
04:46It's just super small.
04:48Like, for a Gcash card, GoTime, and etc.
04:51It's just a small foreign exchange.
04:53Yes.
04:54If it's a card, it's okay.
04:55Because when you withdraw, you exchange to USD.
04:58Then, you exchange to local currency.
05:00It's a big discount.
05:02So, it's more possible to withdraw through a bank.
05:06Well, there are a lot of us who are reported as victims of travel scams.
05:10Online, there are offers.
05:12How can an individual avoid these travel scams?
05:16Mostly, first thing, if it's an agency that you're going to get,
05:21you need to do a legit check.
05:23We call it a legit check.
05:25You also need to check the page to see if it has a lot of tours,
05:28if it has a lot of catering, and so on.
05:31That's why, when people ask us on Gallopage,
05:34is it legit?
05:35Is it true?
05:36Is it not a scam?
05:37We're like, we've been doing this for 8 years.
05:40So, just look at our page to see what we've done.
05:44So, technically, do your research.
05:47Especially, internationally, there are a lot of scams.
05:50Like, a lot of money.
05:53It's like they're on vacation.
05:55So, it's a waste.
05:58On a personal note, maybe that's why you achieved this travel
06:03with different parts of the country and abroad.
06:05Maybe because there are things you need to sacrifice.
06:10So, how does it feel like you doing this kind of thing?
06:14You know, travel and travel and travel.
06:17Actually, right now, it's very fulfilling for me.
06:20Yes, it's tiring.
06:21It's really changing.
06:22Sometimes, it's a burnout.
06:24But, when you see the smiles of the people you're with,
06:28when they appreciate the place,
06:30and even the locals,
06:32they're happy when you visit their place.
06:35When you promote their place, they're happy.
06:37So, that's what's most rewarding for us.
06:40It's like, you don't think,
06:42it's a waste to do this.
06:44I wish I was doing this.
06:45No, it's not like that for us.
06:47Our goal is to promote the beauty of the Philippines,
06:51to encourage other people to visit the Philippines.
06:55You know, Prof,
06:57the advantage of Marian is that
06:59one day, she'll have a lot of stories to tell
07:01about the places she's been to.
07:03You know, the importance of life is all about significance.
07:07And, in terms of significance, you have to be happy.
07:10That's the most significant thing you can do in your life.
07:12And, I think, based on your answers,
07:14you're really happy at the moment.
07:15So, I'm really proud of you and continue traveling.
07:17Thank you so much.
07:18Being a travel enthusiast.
