• Ilocandia Quickie I just came a from a quick respite in the Ilocandia. Summer has been always busy for me and I really am having a hard time writing full blogs. So before I forgot some of my experiences, I want to share with you two touristy sites and an off-the-beaten-track destination in the Ilocandia. Adams, Ilocos Norte Serene morning at Adams. Adams, Ilocos Norte has been a breath of fresh air from the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila.

• Naga City Travel Guide Collab Let me tell you about one of my fave cities- Naga. It was exactly 10 years when I first stepped in Maogmang Lugar.

• Misibis Bay: First Impressions Who would have thought that this backpacker would have a much needed hammock-hanging break? Ohhh, I love going to off-the-beaten destinations but there are times that I want to drink mango shake beside an infinity pool, get some nap inside my own villa and have a sunset cruise with Mt. Mayon as my backdrop. That exactly what happened when I stayed in one of the most romantic places in the Philippines- Misibis Bay.

THE WELCOME The Perfect-Shaped Coned Volcano…
• Badass ATV Ride to Malabsay Falls Some go to Naga for a pilgrimage, some for a food trip. Some just stay at the Hotel (I actually did this yesterday- at the posh Avenue Plaza Hotel), some get their adrenaline fix and ride that badass ATV up to the foothills of Mt. Isarog National Park.
