“It is not how much we have, how much we spend, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness”
It’s a talk of the town. A place where a tourist or traveler should spend a night. After hopping from Limasawa Island, I decided to jump into this tiny island located in the municipality of Matalom. Few kilometers away from Maasin...
Located in the municipality of Guiuan in Eastern Samar is a paradise that had stood from the test of time. Always visited by strong typhoons including the strongest recorded typhoon Yolanda in 2013. This island is a popular destination among backpackers, travelers, nature-lovers, surfers and worshippers. My favorite hangout during college days usually after midterm and final term examinations....
Biri is a group of islands in the province of Northern Samar politically subdivided into 8 barangays with a population of more than 11,000 as of 2015 census. Facing the Pacific Ocean to the east and San Bernardino Strait to the west.
Been to this island for four times and not much changes except for additions of few accommodations and...
After a few days in Laoag, my friend and I decided to head to Palaui Island. Situated in the northernmost part of Luzon. In Cagayan Province. I heard so much about this since they hosted 2013 “The Survivor” show. From Laoag City, we hopped a GMW bus going to Sta. Ana, Cagayan which is the jump-off point to the island....
I had been to this island several times but still didn’t write something. So far my favorite among all the scattered islands around Biliran province due to accessibility and affordability especially when traveling with a group. A few years ago, when I set foot into this paradise, there were no structures standing except those big boulders perfectly sitting on...
Kalanggaman Island is a slice of paradise 20.5 kilometers from the mainland Palompon in Leyte with a total land area of 5.4 hectares. The word Kalanggaman comes from a Cebuano word which means birds. In an aerial view, the 2 arched sandbars on both edges of the island look like a wingspan. Its beauty attracts both local and international...
Day 1
I just had my work suspension that time so I had the chance to roam around and visit any place I’ve never been. Got all the time in the world. Few hours after I posted my Limasawa itinerary at the couchsurfing website, I got a reply from a member named Michael of Negros Oriental. His group is also...
I can’t remember how did we come up with this trip. It was a combined group from mountaineering and couchsurfing friends. The only thing I remembered was we took a bus from Molo Terminal to Anini-y and alighted at Sira-an hot springs. From there, we rented a motorboat that took us to the island for less than 25 minutes. Bring your...
One of the most awesome holidays I had in my life was spent on this magnificent island. It has all the adventure one is looking for. From the mighty Mt. Mantalingahan which is the highest mountain in the area to the crystal clear waters surrounding the mainland Palawan, one will never be bored hopping from one area to another....
Two years ago, I had dreamt of exploring this laidback island. Unfortunately, I missed the boat at Banica port so I decided to just go there some other time. It was after 2 years that I grabbed an opportunity to fulfill this dream. I'm persistent and don’t easily give up. This was my second attempt to cross this island...
