Travel Tips for DFAT Bloggers
Hey bloggers! Here are a few tips to keep in mind while traveling in Davao City during the Davao Food Appreciation Tour (DFAT).
1. Bring comfortable, loose clothing. You need lots of room to store all those extra kilos!
2. If you’re sensitive about your drinking water, keep a bottle of filtered water handy. And Loperamide.
3. Bring sunglasses and sunblock for our outdoor activities. One word: ZIPLINE!
4. For the zipline on Saturday, wearing sneakers is recommended. Please don’t wear flip flops because the of rugged terrain going up. Also, wearing shorts is ok. Skirts? Not ok. Bring an extra shirt.
5. If you wish to take pictures at the zipline or while ziplining, be sure that your camera has a sling to keep it from dropping.
6. The trek up to the zipline is quite arduous. Don’t hesitate to take quick breaks to catch your breath.
7. Camwhoring is inevitable. Have several SD cards ready. Having a laptop is useful if you wish to immediately transfer your pictures.
8. If you have health issues (e.g. allergies, asthma) that we should be aware of, please let the organizers know.
9. If you need to go somewhere and you have no idea how to get there, ask Andrew.
10. And last of all, HAVE FUN!
