Travelers and their “Firsts”
It has taken me a few more days to put this together due to some late submissions and my increased work load in my day job. I couldn’t accommodate more submissions though because I have set a deadline. I hope you enjoy whatever I have compiled in this blog carnival for blogcarnival.com. What does it … Continue reading
Walking around Downtown LA solo
Traveling solo is not my gig, unless I am sent on a business trip. I am used to traveling alone but it was always for a meeting or when I had to go home. As much as possible, I prefer not to venture exploring various sights on my own because I didn’t see any enjoyment … Continue reading
First-time to Tour Corregidor Island
It’s the 4th of July. As much as it is part of American history, it extends to the shores of the Philippine islands. Yesterday, July 4, I went to a place of Filipino-American history, Corregidor Island, where both nations fought side by side. The first time I embarked on a trip to Corregidor Island, I … Continue reading
First-time in Danao, Cebu
There I was again traveling alone. It usually happens whenever I travel for business wherein I would be left to my own devices. Having been used to working with non-profits, I often visited new and unfamiliar places without any welcoming party at the airport or a transport service. Sometimes it sounded scary but I always … Continue reading
First-time aboard Amtrak
I woke up one early June morning feeling restless. It was my last day in LA and I had to be in San Francisco before the day is over to catch my flight back to the Philippines. This was probably one of those moments when I wanted to do something outrageous and mind-boggling. Trying to … Continue reading
Review: First-time in Hilton SF
When it comes to hotel chains, the name Hilton is not unfamiliar to tourists. Not only because it’s a nice family name but also due to the brand image it has carved in the hotel industry. My first nights in the US, specifically in San Francisco, were spent in a cozy bed in Hilton San … Continue reading
First Times from Tripbase (my first guest blogger)
This is the first time that First-time Traveler will be featuring an article from a guest blogger. I love that. As I’m pretty sure that every seasoned traveler started out as a first-time traveler, I welcome stories about travel experiences when you first embarked on your travels or when you first visited a place. Read … Continue reading
Review: First-time in Farmerbrown
Farmerbrown. The name wasn’t familiar to me before until I encountered it and it definitely stuck in my memory bank. Not only was the place where I had my first dinner in San Francisco, if not in the USA, but how I got there was in itself an interesting tale. I was in this beautiful … Continue reading
Looking back at 2009: My first-time travels
Watching travelers in an airport coffee shop while waiting for my flight, I couldn’t help but wonder what 2010 has for me when it comes to traveling. Of course, 2009 was a good one. I have covered almost 20,000 miles, visited four countries, and enjoyed several beaches and landmarks. It was my first time to … Continue reading
First-time in San Mateo, CA
San Mateo is one of the suburbs near San Francisco. It’s 20-30 minutes away from downtown San Francisco and about 10 minutes away from SFO airport. I spent a good three hours in San Mateo. It was a small place but it was very welcoming to me. No intimidating skyscrapers in sight that would usually … Continue reading
