Travelling VISA-FREE for Filipinos ♥

Travelling without the dreaded VISA requirement? Every traveller's (wanderlust's) dream come true! After several viral reports over the Internet about countries not requiring a Visa for Filipinos, GMA news finally released their own take on this travelicious newsbuzz.

The TV Network's website released that according to the data compiled by their team and DFA's Office of the Consular Affairs, the following countries fall in the VISA-FREE CATEGORY. The list below also includes other countries mentioned in the website of International Air Transport Association (IATA), plus the lenght of allowable stay for Filipinos in each mentioned country:

Those in Bold are those I (have) waaant to visit, yey! :)

While these countries don't initially require a VISA for entry, there are certain ones that will issue/require you one upon arrival with corresponding fees.

For travel safely it is always best to triple-check each country's regulations for tourist. Google, read blogs and forums or even call the country's embassy in the PH if there are informations that you need to verify.

Calling my bestfriend, Dani!! if 2012 is for EU, 2013 is for what, take your pick from those countries in bold :) Happy Travelling you all!

Charisma's BUCKET List

Admit it or not, all of us have this written/unwritten list of things that we want to do and places we want to explore before our lifetime ends. Well, based from experience (more from the work side of life) things wont get accomplished easily until its laid out, planned or at the very least written down.

In short, what gets measured - gets done. So here is the list of things, places, people, activities, accomplishments ++ adventures and craziness that I wish to mark as done before my lifeline hits game over.
