S1E31 - How to Make the Most of Your Brief Vacation in the Philippines
Pinoy OFW Podcast
For Overseas Filipinos, vacations back home are often short but deeply meaningful. Between limited leave days and countless family commitments, making every moment count is a challenge. In this episode, we’ll share how to plan a balanced itinerary that combines family bonding, rest, and personal enjoyment.
Learn how to prioritise visits—whether that means spending quality time in your hometown, scheduling reunions, or sneaking in a quick trip to the beach. We’ll also cover practical tips: budgeting your pesos wisely, travelling light, managing expectations with relatives, and even setting boundaries to avoid burnout. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to focus on meaningful experiences rather than trying to do it all. A short vacation doesn’t have to feel rushed—it can be memorable, refreshing, and fulfilling if you plan with intention.
