Planning a trip can be stressful, but with the right mindset and perfect companions, having fun is not far behind.
Content creators Laureen Uy and Maki Santos, visiting the country's most iconic spots becomes memorable and hassle-free with GCash.
They got to discover hidden dining gems to unique activities and the best sunset views by putting together itineraries all booked and paid for with GCash, proving that even the most iconic destinations still have surprises to offer when everything's made seamless.
For Maki Santos, Boracay has always been special but this time around, her itinerary was all about going beyond the usual spots the island is known for and finding its best-kept secrets. She started her trip by checking in at the Four Points by Sheraton, right in the heart of Boracay.
With her L.A.P. (location, aesthetic, price) strategy, Maki prioritized finding a hotel in a central location, with a stunning design but affordable at the same time. This has even made easier with GGives, a feature on the GCash app that allows users to pay for things that usually feel too expensive- like hotel bookings for a trip, and pay for them in easy installments, with no downpayment needed.
"I've always been the planner in the group ... There's a special kind of joy in watching my friends soak up the moment, knowing I helped it all together," said Maki.
Her journey to finding Boracay's best-kept secrets took her paraw sailing to catch amazing views of the island on a traditional local sailboat made of wood and bamboo, and exhilarating adventure in Mainland Adventures Boracay and even a helicopter ride to the island from a different angle. These activities can be paid online with GCash via platforms such as Klook, so that everything is ready and raring to go at the destination.
She also tried the newest dining spot in Boracay like Gyukatsu, Mai Tai and Maze Wrap.
"What makes the experience even better is how seamless everything is with GCash. From booking activities to paying for meals, one tap and I'm all set!" Maki adds.
On the other hand, Laureen Uy's dream summer experience is one that embraces the spontaneity that comes with being able to travel with her besties in Siargao.
Her first stop on her local restaurant hop was to enjoy a feast from the sea at Cev, which is famous for their kinilaw and ceviche, before going to Roots for some European flare and Mondayyyy's Cafe for that all-day breakfast spot.
Of course, a trip to Siargao is not complete without some island-hopping trip to Mam-on and Corregidor Islands, and topping it with a boodle feast.
Then there's the chill sunset session at Kanaloa Beach, with kayak activities, cocktails and bonfires.
"Hotel bookings, activities, shopping and eating on the island? All check! Even down to travel insurance, just to make sure we're protected from any unexpected hurdles, GCash has GInsure Travel Protect. At every point of planning from paying online, to scanning to pay with their merchants and buying all my essentials, my summers are forever changed for the better," shared Laureen.
