Traveling and More

1 Reply

The expensive and worthwhile habit of traveling has spawned other hobbies for enthusiasts, including photography, and postcard, stamp and coin collecting. Nowadays, travelers will not only hunt for beautiful landmarks and tourist spots to visit and photograph, but will also look out of the best places to get their souvenirs from ~ postcards they will be sending to their postcrossing friends, or rare local stamps they will be swapping with fellow philatelists and obscure places to buy gold coins that they are sure their numismatist friends will adore. These hobbies are loved even by non-travelers, since even without leaving your hometown you can easily look for people to swap these treasures with using the internet and other forms of media.

I received this cute postcard from Mommy Vix of travel.mum-writes.com as my prize to her recent giveaway. Thanks Vix!

Zoobic Zafari is located in Subic, Olongapo City. It is a 25 hectares amusement park where visitors enjoy watching exotic animals roaming in their natural habitat and surroundings.

Savana: ostritch

Serpentarium: crocodiles, snakes, etc.

Zoobic Park (petting zoo) with albino carabao, lamb, among other creatures.

My kids wish to visit the place one of these days. 🙂

A Good Traveler’s Companion

Any seasoned traveler will tell you that a camera is a good travel companion and it is most ideal to invest on a good camera to be sure you take the most special, if not the best, travel photos. It is not necessary, though, to get the most expensive brand or model. If you have the budget to shell out, you can always go for a canon eos rebel xs or a good dslr model. This will allow you to take professional-like photographs and capture all those candid moments and precious travel memories. But you do not have to stress over the budget if you do not have enough money, you can always settle for a nice point-and-shoot model, learn the rudiments of good photography, add in a little ingenious and creativity and you will be taking those wonderful pictures in no time at all, letting you enjoy your travels even more.
