Boracay has a special place in my heart not just because of its fine white sand but also because this is where my travel journey began. It was the first beach which beauty rendered me speechless and made me fall in love. However, despite enjoying my first Boracay trip, I…
June 12, 1898, is probably one of the most memorable and important days in the Philippine history. It was the proclamation of our independence, the day we won our freedom from more than 300 years of Spanish colonization. It was the day the Philippine flag was unfurled for the first time while…
Situated 63km east of Cebu Island is a group of three major islands; Pacijan, Ponson, and Poro, and one minor islet, Tulang Island in Camotes Sea. I wonder how many tourists would consider visiting the Islands of Camotes when they go to Cebu. Are people even aware that there is such…
My second solo travel to the land of promise brought me to Lake Sebu, 90 miles away from Davao City, a first class municipality, 26 miles away from its capital. It is surrounded by mountains covered with rainforest and hills and serves as the home of the indigenous T’bioli tribe, one…

The only thing I bought was some underwear then asked Sef to bring me some extra clothes. Right after my night shift, we went straight to Batangas. I had no idea whatsoever about what…
Another fear of the unknown was running through my mind as we were about to cross the border of Cambodia and Thailand. Maybe this is normal for a first-timer who heard about many border-crossing horror stories. Even so, I was happy to have written off another item in my things-to-do-in-life list.…
Bago lumipas ang isa na namang taon samahan ninyo kong magbalik tanaw sa mga iilang lugar na nabisita ko sa Pilipinas. I believe everything happens for a reason. Sinadya talaga ng Universe na maging single ako sa unang quarter palang ng 2015 para magkaroon ako ng freedom mag travel. Even my…
