Travel hacks from Tin

My former manager, Tin, and I had lunch today to celebrate my 3rd work anniversary (akalain mo tumagal ako ng three years!). As we both just got back from our respective travels, we exchanged pasalubongs, and I got new travel inspo and hacks from the super traveler herself.

1. Emirates. First. Class. and never go back! The personal chauffeur makes it all worth it. 
2. No vacation time is wasted if you travel by cruise. The ship is a destination in and of itself.
3. Travel must-haves -- Portable Vaccuum Sealer and Portable Steam Iron
4. Buying foreign currencies is a travel investment. Buy low, spend high!
5. No one regretted meeting up with work colleagues from other countries, so reach out and go for it!
6. Choose a partner who loves to travel, but only one of you can be the travel planner.
7. Traveling to celebrate occasions (e.g., birthday, wedding anniversary, etc.) is more powerful than traveling at random. I learned that they are called milestone or celebratory trips.

I am so glad that I found a kindred traveling spirit in Tin. We may travel differently, but we share the fascination with exploring new places and appreciation for this privilege.
