The year 2012 was a very great year of travelling for me. Aside from exploring new places in and out of the country, the most rewarding I have had the past year was the numerous friends I have met and kept along the way.
Even though my bank account turned to zero-balance at some point, I will not exchange this for the ultimate gift of friendship. As they say, the love between friends is the most enduring. As I recall the past year, I find myself smiling at times while I stare at the various photographs I have with them.
To my travel buddies, I miss you a lot. I hope we will still travel again sometime in the future. For the mean time, I will be finishing writing my tri-country series and finalize my travel bucket list for this year.
Join me as I look back at these sweet times. Let’s travel back down memory lane. I am sincerely hoping that this list will grow
extensively towards the end of 2013.
With my original travel buddy, good friend Chie in Bolinao, Pangasinan.

And of course, my travels will not be complete without bonding with my kitty-friends! Meet Bo of Bohol, my most favorite.
