Booked My Flight for A Holiday to Asia

I finally booked my flight for a holiday to Asia this year. It's been so long a time since I did not had a travel in my home country, Philippines. I chose to explore many countries in Europe and finally this spring time, I will be flying home.

During my flight from Phoenix to San Francisco in 2012.

I started to find cheap flights since October 2013. I was browsing online which travel portals or agencies are offering the cheapest ones. Since Asia is quite a long way especially to the Philippines, I decided to choose the flight that I don't need to have a long lay-over.

I was also asking for affordable flight to the travel companies where I booked my flights during my previous travels to the Philippines. I was quite disappointed with Vollmer Reisen, a travel agency in Germany because it was very clear in my inquiry about the flights that I want. They also don't answered on my queries immediately. Due to that, I decided to inquire about Kirschner Reisen, a travel agency in Cologne. They immediately replied to my message in their facebook page. Since the offer for flight was quite reasonable, I ended up booking it. It is also a peak season in April-May and I am afraid that there will be no more seats available, the reasons why I booked it immediately.

More on that, I will be visiting Singapore also and other places and islands in the Philippines. I am still planning and organizing for my travel itinerary as of now. I hope I can finalize everything before the end of March.

Thanks to my siblings from the US who sponsored for my plane ticket this year. I am indeed blessed to have such loving sisters. God bless you my dear sisters. God bless us all!

Adventure Trip in Himalaya

Experiencing an adventure trip can be a breathtaking and exciting experience. This is where I remember our adventure and trekking to the highest mountain in the Philippine called Mount Apo in the year 2000. I wish I had a digital camera that time so that I could take pictures of Mt. Apo. How much more exciting if you experience a Himalaya trekking. That could be a very great adventure and experience especially if you reach the highest peak in the planet which is Mt. Everest which is also located in Himalaya range. I know, I don't have the chance and strength to go trekking in Mt. Everest but maybe in the future, I wish to experience one of the exciting Kumaon tours in this region.

Thanks to Shakti Himalaya for the travel and tourism information in this place. For all you know Shakti Himalaya is a Responsible tourism company, offering village experiences, low altitude trekking, family holidays and walking holidays in Kumaon, Sikkim and Ladakh.
