Having travel insurance has now become a necessity for people travelling either on vacation or for business purpose worldwide. More and more travelers are now seeking a reliable insurance agent who can insure maximum travel risks. While looking for a suitable policy from a dependable insurance agent, misunderstanding regarding their coverage tends to be one of the biggest mistakes that they encounter. Instead of just making assumptions that may put you into trouble, it is recommended to ask yourself the following questions before buying a travel insurance. Will my pre-existing medical condition be covered? For proper protection while claiming and for ensuring sufficient coverage, clarifying your doubt is essential to consider additional coverage for unstable pre-existing conditions. These days, it is possible to cover such condition by buying additional supporting policies. Before buying the insurance, you will have to read your medical questionnaire thoroughly wherein you will have to reveal about your unstable medical condition. Did you know an incorrectly answered questionnaire can charge you a deductible of $5,000? Is travel insurance offered by my credit card? This is the most common doubt that all credit card holders have. A few credit cards do have health and travel insurance, whereas […]

For the second time, I visited South Korea and this time as a solo traveler. I booked my plane ticket a month ago and it costs me around 8500 pesos– back and forth – Manila – Seoul – Manila, June 10, 2011 to June 13, 2011. My reason? I panicked when I saw that Lee Ji Hoon has a musical show called Won Hyo, I am dying to see him in person and watching him perform LIVE, so I grabbed this opportunity. To make this a perfect vacation, I will be going to JEJU Island as well. DAY 1 (Seoul, South Korea) Okay! To start it out, June 09, 2011, I went early to NAIA Terminal 3 for my 1:30 am flight. Few minutes before landing to Incheon International Airport, I was rushing to fill up the immigration paper. When we arrived at airport, I easily passed the immigration. I purchased a bus ticket heading Myeondong and get off at Ibusiness Hotel, from there, I walked till I reached Seoul Backpackers. I got my reservation and just changed clothes. The first place I visited is the ‘Seoul World Cup Stadium’. At world cup stadium, there are also IMAX and mountains […]
Is it also your dream to visit Korea? A home of Korean Dramas – Winter Sonata, Endless Love? Kpop stars – Girls Generation and Superjunior? Stumble upon Bae Yong Jun or Jang Guen Suek while walking on The Street? but you don’t have enough budget to spend? well, I hope my experience would help you in getting to South Korea on a Budget travel – Do IT Yourself. XD It was around January when I purchased my plane ticket to Korea, thanks to Cebupacificair, it’s cheaper than the original price. Considering I don’t have visa yet, and I have never been to other country (I was so nervous that time), I only have my passport! When I went back to Korean Embassy to get the result, I was so nervous!!! I can’t ever start planning my itinerary, since it would be a waste if my Visa will be denied. God is on my side, it was APPROVED! Even other applicants are laughing at me On that day, I started doing my Itinerary. I actually tried to find a cheaper tourist package, since I don’t know anything in Korea, I don’t want to waste time, I wanted to visit many places […]
Planning of Visiting South Korea? First you will need to have a Visa. What are the requirements to get a tourist visa for Filipinos? It’s easy. If you are an employee, you only need the following: Ø Original copy of your COE (Certificate of Employment) – of course, you’ll get this from you company! Ø Photocopy of your Latest ITR (request to your HR) Ø Original copy of your savings bank account certificate (at least 50thousand or above) Ø If you are invited by your relative from Korea (include it)- optional Ø Photocopy of the first page of your passport Ø 1 – 2×2 picture, or passport size picture Ø Accomplish visa form (will be given at the Korean Embassy) Ø If you have New Zealand, US, British or Japan Visa, include it also (optional) Processing is 5 days. If it’s your first time to apply, it would be better if you’d tour other country, so your visa will be approved. If you will stay in South Korea for more than 11 days, then, you have to pay 1500, I think. But if shorter than that, it’s FREE. Where can I find Korean Embassy? Korean Embassy is now located at McKinley Hills, Taguig City. How to get there? […]
