3d2n solo trip to san juan, la union (elyu): great northwest, surfing, bagnet by the beach 🏄🏽‍♀️🌅

⋆ watch in hd ⋆
hi everyone! after finals week, i went on a solo trip to san juan, la union. aka elyu! it was not my first time going to elyu, but it was my first time going alone. in this trip, i tried the food i wasn't able to try before. i ate at kermit, sabong, coco mama, and fatwave 🏝️ (i also bought bagnet with egg at silong)!
i also tried surfing for the first time and now i want to go back again for more surfing lessons 😅
in this trip, i still had work but i am very grateful i can do it anywhere, and anytime😌
'til next time, elyu! 🌅
hope you enjoy the video and take care ♡

As a seasoned world wide traveler kudos to you. I have been traveling alone all around the globe including the Philippines, its very refreshing and encouraging seeing young ladies like you going for the ultimate adventure Hugs!!!!

Cute and well structured little vid, saw some interesting new spots and liked the relaxed pace of your shooting. Thanks

[@AMACHiiBiong]

thank you for reminding me of the everlasting beauty of Urbiztondo 😘 Guys, San Juan, La Union is one of those places where you can travel to, alone, relatively safely. but as always, vigilance is your protection. And ideally, may reservations na kayo for your lodging. else, magpapalipas kayo ng gabi s 711, like what I did before 😅 Surf instructors are all friendly but Esquivel surf camp is highly recommended. 🏄 Pwede din kayo sumakay ng habal papuntang Tangadan falls. PRO tip: I eat in San Fernando because the fast foods and the market are there. 😅

[@SlowDownMoments]

Any reco po for carpool from manila to san juan LU?

[@AMACHiiBiong]

@@SlowDownMoments sori po. before, I just take the Partas bus bound for Ilocos. ngayon, I travel by motorbike to LU 😅 pero s Facebook, I see some posts sa mga travel groups offering LU tours. You could start there.

[@GUERREROFRANCHESKAKIML]

Hi, planning to solo travel in LU, I just want to ask where did you stay? And how much yung rate? Thanks!!

This is pretty much me if I traveled alone haha. I am super introverted, but I hate traveling alone.

[@matthewivanjudeponciano1354]

As an introvert i did my first solo travel last month without planning at all. Hope to visit elyu soon😂 ps. matry nga yung fruit bowl. Never had it before 😃

[@b-mu7sj]

Omg how did ur first tavel went?? Im planning to travel alone den kase but i dont know where to start huhu

[@matthewivanjudeponciano1354]

@@b-mu7sj Tip #1. Its easy to walk long distance in Baguio than short distance. Baguio is not like Tagaytay na Flat na may bangin. Mangangalay ka. Nasanay ako sa Metro Manila na grid or contour ang roads. Mas madaling maglakad ng malayo than maiksi pero matarik. 2. Try mo maghanap ng transient na mura lang. Yung akin kasi sa Brgy. Salud Mitra, Baguio City. 3. Pumunta ka ng first or Second week ng January. Pag February kasi medyo painit na. January is colder naexperience ko 13 degrees. 4. Gumising ka ng 3am para masulit mo yung lamig.

hi, ate… cool vlog! how much did u spend all-in-all po? including transportation fee? ❤

[@iya__]

hi, thanks! i think around ₱8k sa lahat hehe

[@megsrrn]

henloo i am planning to go to elyu, solo this march!! :) do u have any tips to 1st time solo travelers? & where to eat (budget) in elyuu hehe

[@megsrrn]

ooo and if its ok, can i also ask what ur job is? got curious cause of 2:43 hehe

[@iya__]

tips: do your research (esp where to go, what you want to do, policies in the municipality), stay safe, if sasakay ng tricycle, you can ask first for their fare so you can decide if it's within your budget where to eat: would recommend sabong (it's around great northwest) and coco mama (for desserts) my budget was around ₱8k since i tried restos and activities i wasn't able to try when i first went in elyu :)

[@ReynaldoTamayo-c6v]

Hey! Can you tell me more? How much is the total damage?
