Every single time that I would say that I am from the Philippines, the follow-up question is always: "Wow, which part is your favourite?" This question is, then, followed by a shrug. I mean, we have more than 7,107 islands so you could imagine the difficulty choosing. But since this is an on-going question, I have finally decided to list up my favourite spots!…
A few months ago, I have had the pleasure of visiting one of the most amazing cities ever: Istanbul. I came from Paris and flew directly to Istanbul. Now I have always been dreaming of coming to this historically beautiful city, so it has been such a dream come true to finally be able to do it! First order of business? Food, naturally.…
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Now, Palawan is one of the more popular islands in the Philippines because of its crystal clear waters and natural sea resources. Since every time people get shocked that I have not yet been to Palawan, I have made it a mission this year to finally go. And I went, and it had been amazing!…
On my most recent trip to Thailand, I had the chance to cook with one of the best cooking schools in Bangkok; the Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy.…
A few months ago, I headed to Chiang Mai for a very short getaway. My flight to Morocco (from Bangkok) was cancelled and rebooked, and I was already so fed up with the vibe in Bangkok. So with all that said, I fled to Chiang Mai, and during this short stay, I discovered OON Poshtel + Cafe. The first thing that I noticed when I entered OON was…
I have heard a lot of things about Chiang Mai because most of my friends have already been there, but to their surprise, I never actually put it on my to-go list. So with the uneventful flight, I have decided to take a bus to Chiang Mai and just see it for myself. About damn time, for sure. I checked into Thunderbird Hostel and I was not disappointed.…
A few months ago, I came back to Manila. After months and months of travelling foreign cities, I finally came back to the city which I call 'mine'. I came back with the same thirst for adventures, so I went and did a little 'staycation' at my own city and stayed at Z Hostel.…
Earlier this year, I took another trip to the Philippines' Queen City of the South, Cebu City. I was called to go back there because I had to take my IELTS. It was rushed and very last minute because I had to submit my exam results to the university I was applying for in Canada. Yes, your home girl *might be going back to university next year! …
Early this year, I had the pleasure of going back to one of my favourite cities: Cebu City. It was one of the best times and I have met some of the most wonderful people. Not only that, I have been privileged to stay at one of the best (if not the best) hostel in the whole city, Hostel 7.…
Before we go any further, I would have to warn you that this will be a relatively short blog post about a relatively short trip to one of my favourite countries; Thailand. – Coming from Penang, Malaysia, I had nowhere to go but up. Enduring an almost 12-hour bus + van + ferry journey, I arrived in Krabi, Thailand. If you have been reading my blog for quite…
