One of the discoveries we had during our trip to Catanduanes is the Virac Boulevard, also known as the Imelda Boulevard. In the late afternoon, this stretch becomes lively as locals gather to enjoy the sunset and the ocean breeze. The vibrant coastal promenade is dotted with numerous restaurants, cafes, and even local street vendors….
My trip to Panglao Island in Bohol wasn’t just about discovering the local culture or beaches. It was also about diving fork-first into the island’s vibrant culinary scene. From roadside joints to chic cafes, Panglao proved to be a foodie destination. The island offers a diverse array of flavors and experiences that delight both the…
Back at my hostel in Old Quarters, I was worried about my scheduled Hanoi Old Quarter Food Tour that day. It was already 3 PM and the rain was non-stop. Last time I had a Hanoi evening street eats, rain joined our group. I was praying hard for the weather to be fine this time….

Nonetheless, Boracay still has the charming and laid-back vibe when you visit its beaches, during the low season. On my recent trip, after not stepping on the island for almost 10 months, a new…
