Hi my name is Matt and new here, and could do with some advice on travel safety

[Tish]

Hi I am getting married in Phils next year, but my family are concerned about my safety in Phils, I am not personally worried, but to help my family feel reassured, they are quite paranoid about me traveling half way round the world alone, and think I should register with the british embassy when I arrive, I am staying with my future partners family in tarlac city, any advice on safety when in Phils would be most welcome.

Hi Matt and welcome to the forum

Traveling half way round the world on your own must be daunting but you'll be fine

There are a lot of foreigners in Philippines now than they were over 20 years ago so that in itself should put you at ease

Tish here BTW
