Way back in 2016 I went to the Philippines and saw a lot less than I hoped to but still loved the things I did see. Well, I just decided, after thinking about it a lot lately, to make a Philippines bucket list to inspire myself to go back and here we are. Back with…

How To See The Sabang Mangrove Forest Without A Tour
It was the day after the underground river and time for another adventure. This time it was in the Sabang Mangrove Forest and we were going to see some wildlife. Hopefully at least.

DIY Tour: How To See The Puerto Princesa Underground River Without A Tour

A Las Cabañas Sunset
It was the day I wanted to go to Nacpan. I had two options, and it was getting late. I could give in and pay the 900 pesos to go on my own or I could walk to Las Cabañas for sunset with someone else. As you can probably tell, I went for the sunset.…
Palawan First Impressions
Before I left, Palawan was on my radar, but I didn't plan on going. Instead, I was going to bask in the glory that is that mountains. When it came time to leave Bantayan, though, I just wasn't ready to give up the beach. After a month and a half in cold Taiwan and Japan,…

Malapascua: Things To Do That Aren’t Diving
I'm not a diver. I don't like water. I probably won't be diving in the near future. I mean, I even avoid snorkeling at all costs. So I was questioned a lot about why I was on Malapascua, famous for diving with thresher sharks. Good question, everyone I met. Good question. I was there to…

Fresh off the boat, all I wanted to do was nothing. I checked into my room soaking wet from the weird rain between Cebu and Malapascua, changed, grabbed Shantaram (which is awesome, by the way), my towel, and headed out to the beach.
