Moving on from another almost scammed stint in Tandag City, I commuted from Tandag Airport to Cagwait White Beach for just Php70 far way cheaper than the Php150 rate offered by a tricycle driver for the ride from the airport to Tandag Bus Terminal, which is still an hour away from Cagwait. I just paid…
An aerial photo of some lagoons in El Nido was one of the main reasons that excites me for this Palawan trip. But it was on my third day in the quaint town to finally experience the beaches, islands, and lagoons. Northern Hope Tours did manage our island hopping activities during our stay. Since our…
Standard check-in is 2PM and it was so inappropriate to sleep in SPIN’s lounge areas. It was only 9 in the morning and I was so sleepy from the night bus ride from Puerto Princesa. Someone from Northern Hope Tours texted me and asked if I’m already in El Nido. After I replied yes, the…
Hostels nowadays invade every part of the country with most travelers prefer it over fancy hotels especially when they planned to spend most of their time outside the accommodation, exploring the different attractions available in their destination. Also, hostel rates are far way cheaper. On my second visit to the famous Boracay Island, it was…
Summer is synonymous to a getaway especially if you’re in Cebu. The original plan was Kalanggaman Island in Palompon, Leyte then circumstances brought it to Camotes Island, and then changed to Bantayan Island. We really have a lot of options.

The journey didn’t end there as we needed to brave the gigantic waves…
We frequently see White Beach, the infamous Boracay beach, where you can have the cool happenings in the island, in photos of our friends flaunting their Boracay escapades online. A thing they don’t know is that the island has other beaches to offer and I was able to discover five of them; sand is also…
Boracay was never on my list of priorities to visit because I’m aware that it is jam-packed whole year-round, and I hate hitting the beach with a huge crowd. So I didn’t plan to visit Boracay. In some instances, as a traveler, you tend to break some of your rules just to satisfy your travel…
With its area, considered as the second smallest province in the country, Camiguin proves that a weekend is not enough to explore its natural attractions: beaches, springs, waterfalls, and heritage sites. Given 48 hours, I tried to go around the island as much as I can to discover the beauty of this paradise to create…
Fantastic. Spectacular. Fabulous. These are not just words to describe the beauty of Mantigue Island, but also the adjectives used by our witty guide, pertaining to the photos he took on my camera. For every click of the shutter, another adjective that makes us laugh. “Fantabulous!” he added. We went back to Mambajao Proper from…
