MY FAVOURITE SPOTS IN THE PHILIPPINES

July 17, 2019

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!…

BALAI PRINCESA

March 20, 2019

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!…

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.…

EXPLORING CEBU CITY IN UNDER 24 HOURS

September 5, 2018

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! …

SPENDING 48 HOURS IN THAILAND

July 4, 2018

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…

DISCOVERING PENANG

June 28, 2018

I remember Penang as a charming, very culturally inclined, and well-maintained place. It maybe is one of my favourite places in the world, not just in Malaysia. Its slow paced life, beautiful old architecture and delicious food are just some things that makes me want to go back.…
