My trip to Ilocos Norte last January is not really a planned one. Last year, my friend Alex introduced me ‘virtually’ to Jason, a travel blogger based in Cebu. I never met him in person and he rarely attends in Cebu blogger meet-ups. While Alex travelled in Luzon with me, Jason was her companion in the Visayas leg. Right after…
I don’t think there is any culture that doesn’t have seasonal events where family and friends get together to eat. Living far away from my family I feel like I only return home for such events, but at the same time I embrace getting to know these customs wherever I go. Being invited to something like that means a lot…
FEBRUARY is almost over, but blog entries related to love (or the lack of) is still being published online. Blame it on Mr. Cupid or on how several companies hype up Valentines Day (we’re being fooled by their marketing strategies to spend more! Grrr), some will either consider this as a special time to be extra romantic to their partners…
The Bangui Windmills is one of Ilocos Norte’s spots that attracts a lot of tourist and at the same time helps its residents in terms of electricity and other environmental concerns. I was blown away with the story behind the project. Jason and I took pictures immediately when we finally reached the area. We saw some locals who were making…
If Laoag City and Paoay are famous for its Marcos-related sites and other historical spots, Pagudpud and its nearby towns Bangui and Burgos are known for its tourist attractions that will make every traveler fall in love with it. My interest in exploring Pagudpud started when I found out that Assunta de Rossi’s FHM Philippines calendar shoot in 2001 was…

At its best, travelling is exciting, enlightening and packed with wonderful memories, but you need to make sure that you’re safe. By taking out worldwide travel insurance, you give yourself a significant safety…

After 16 days of wandering around Thailand and Cambodia, I am now set to arrive in my beloved country – the Philippines! Looking back, I can say that this trip is truly a rewarding…
PAOAY KUMAKAWAY! When in Paoay, it is often suggested that you pass by the Paoay Church, a century-old baroque church which was recognized as a UNESCO Heritage Site in 1993. I visited the Paoay Church when I was younger and had a photo taken with my parents. Memories The Paoay Church was under renovation when we arrived. When I entered…
When visiting London, spending time on and around the Thames is a must. The river’s banks play host to some of London’s most world-famous landmarks. Despite being over 200 miles long, the six-mile stretch that runs through Central London is perhaps the most intriguing, particularly if gazing upon it from a Canary Wharf apartment. With that in mind, we’ve selected…
It is my first time to be in a budget hostel that offers dorm-style accommodations. Well, it is the second time since I’ve tried Sugbutel in Cebu and I had a good experience.I managed to sleep comfortably and my friends were just in the other cubicle. This time, I am alone in a place full of people from different nationalities….
