“
WHEN YOU MENTION
the word ‘travel’, the first
word that comes to mind is
‘
excitement’,” says Tony
Bueno, DJ and host of
popular radio talk show
Boys’ Night Out.
He should
know: born in Toronto,
Canada, Tony took his
“
biggest risk” when he
moved to the Philippines.
“
I decided to pack my bags
and leave its four seasons
for the country’s tropical
climate,” he explains. He
has been taking more risks
since — and learned a lot
of lessons from his travel
experiences along the way.

BE PREPARED, YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
I was one of four people nominated as ambassador for Axe Anarchy Deodorant
in 2012, and they sent me to Belize in Central America for a junket. My luggage
went missing on a one-night stopover in Miami. So when I stopped over in
Japan, Dallas and Miami, I was still in the same clothes. I had only packed
shorts, a couple of shirts and a sweater, but no underwear. Carry extra in your
hand-carry or backpack.

BE PRACTICAL AND
SAVE IF YOU CAN
Buy a local SIM and don’t forget to turn off your
data services — or else face a huge telephone
bill. Go to hotels with free WiFi so you can use
BlackBerry Messenger, WeChat and Facebook
to message friends and family. I was traveling
to Canada for the Christmas holidays and forgot
to turn off my data services. I paid the price.
