is it safe to travel alone in for ex. china thailand vietnam cambodia i plan to backpack alone.what are the risk

Trust reputable websites regarding accomodations and transportation expenses. Hostels are great places to meet new people. Tried it in Vietnam and I was the only asian in the hostel. Crazy but fun

For those who are NOT so new to travelling, tight budget but adventurous at walang tiyaga kumuha ng visa, you can try Cambodia and vist Angkor Wat in Seam Reap. Dito nagshooting ang Tomb Raider starring Angelina Jolie. Handa lang nyo mga dollars kase un ang preferred currency nila at mas convenient din, kase kung local currency gagamitin nyo mahirap magbilang sa dami. Softdrinks lang libo na halaga sa pera nila, but that doesn't mean it's expensive. Try using the local mode of transpo (tuktuk) para makatipid na din although presyong turista ibibigay nila sayo, wala masyadong choice. Avoid nyo ung mga nagongontrata na mga taxi. Kayo na mismo dumiskarte ng mga lakad nyo at wag umasa sa mga contractors.

For beach goers wanting to try something new and exotic go to Krabi or Ko Samui. In my personal opinion masmaganda mga beaches sa Pinas pero it's still worth the visit. Kung nightlife and beach hanap nyo, I recommend Pattaya. Here you'll find bars, clubs and girls, girls, girls... Ingat nalang and be alert. Kung gusto nyo maexperience ang city life nila at mag shopping, punta naman kayo sa Bangkok.

Ok din sa Malaysia though for me karamihan ng mga places na makikita mo is cultural and religious (except siguro sa Johor Baru's Legoland), similar to Cambodia pero mas mayaman na bansa lang and Malaysia. The beaches are not too good but there are a few that stand out like Redang Island and Perhentian na puno ng mga white tourists in bikinis. Malaysia is ideal for newbie travellers because this place is really tourist friendly.

Kung may romantic side kayo (ala "eat, pray, love") try Bali Indonesia. Truly a cultural experience na hindi nyo makakalimutan. 80-90% of the residents are Hindu and somehow mababait sa mga Pinoy, so walang problema sa pagkain at inumin (may san mig lights pa!)- mura ang beer (depends din) and pork is available almost anywhere (try babi guling, the local lechon). The beaches are ok but mas mageenjoy ka if you can surf. Madaming hotels and you need not book in advance. When I went there I booked 1 night only just to be sure. Good thing kase when I walked around may nakita akong hotels na mas nagustuhan ko.

Kung may extra cash kayo and western vacation naman na hindi masyado malayo I'd say Sydney is on top of my list. Kelangan mo lang kumuha ng visa if you are using Philippine passport pero it's worth the effort. You can stay there up to 3 months with that visa and use it for 1 year. Pagipunan nyo nalang if you want to enjoy at hindi matameme sa gastos. I'd say ung 25-30k nyo pede nyo pagkasyahin sa 1 week na mabibisita nyo na ung zoo and museums and have a few drinks in some bars, good food na din at hotel na mura. Masmakakatipid kayo if you avoid hotels and stay at backpacker's hostels. Bantayan nyo nalang mga gamit nyo at wag iwan kung san san.

If you visit New Zealand, and you're in the South Island, make sure to go to Queenstown, the extreme sports capital of New Zealand. You can ride the jet boat, para sail, zip line, etc. On the way to Queenstown you may pass through and see Mount Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand. I believe its peak is covered in snow all year round because of its very high altitude.

 

Also make sure to visit Milford Sound where you'll literally see hundreds if not thousands of waterfalls running off steep cliffs. Magnificent view you'll definitely never forget for as long as you live.

 

Best to rent a car but if you're afraid to drive on the other side of the street, you may join a tour group.

 

Bro, are you familiar with backpacker's job in New Zealand? If so, do you think it would be easy for a Filipino to travel and work there at the same time?
