When we stayed in Zuzuni Boutique Hotel, we heard from the staff that the management will be opening another property. Zuzuni is perfectly situated along the main beach and the new one will be in a different location. This time, to provide a more serene surrounding sans the crowd and beach parties, it will be…
There’s always something new every time I visit Boracay. New hotels, new restaurants, new bars, and narrower and more congested roads. 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…
On his first Boracay trip, a friend blamed me for publishing a Boracay food guide with most of the restaurants and cafes not budget-friendly. I was laughing at him when he said that he overspent after dining at one of the places I’ve listed. Since this blog promotes budget kind of travel and to counter…
When I worked in Manila several years back, I rented an apartment in Makati but away from the Central Business District. The only place I know is the Ayala Avenue strip because of the shopping malls, business offices, and the Ayala Triangle. Beyond that, I had no time exploring the tiny alleys of the city….

Budget hotels are dear for people who love spending weekends somewhere near their dwellings. Staycations are best during rainy season when the entire city is drenched from monsoon rains. But having it on a summer weather is also a great idea. One of the considerations in picking a hotel for staycation is the rate per night….
Summer heat is unbearable and makes me want to go to the south pole! Not literally south pole but Southpole Central Hotel instead. Blogging is easy-breezy when I just got back from a trip and I need to take advantage of it. My room, which is only ventilated by a 3-year old desk fan, isn’t…
Even before airlines offered affordable plane tickets during seat sales, Cebu is already a destination for local travelers. People will get jealous if you have a photo at the Magellan’s cross or near the Mactan Bridge. For my years of stay in the Queen City of the South, I’ve already been to some tourist attractions…
Last time I was in Boracay Island, Tides Hotel Boracay served as our abode for our short weekend getaway in the island. However, I needed to stay one more night because I booked a different flight. It required me to look for a place to stay preferably away from the buzzing crowd. I was browsing…
