Chiang Rai’s Wat Rong Khun and the Surprise Proposal

Revisiting Bangkok, Thailand
Welcome to Bangkok! My first visit to Bangkok was back in 2012. I was with a friend and we were on a 10-day backpacking trip across Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. It was a short visit and we just focused on a few sites. So when 2018 arrived, I had an opportunity […]

Discovering Brunei Darussalam in Two Days
Brunei is one of the closest countries to the Philippines, but for some reason, I didn’t plan on visiting it until this year. Perhaps it’s because of its proximity that I always take it for granted for farther destinations. Perhaps it’s the fact that it […]
The Breathtaking Gigantes Group of Islands
I had long wanted to visit this part of the province upon hearing how captivating the islas were. I have quite high standards when it comes to ‘beautiful islands’ as our country have thousands of such. For me, when I say gorgeous, the islands of […]
The Lovely Solina Beach & Nature Resort
It was two-hour drive from Roxas City to Carles town, Iloilo. We were set to explore Gigantes Group of Islands the following day and I was already imagining a solid six-hour sleep the moment we arrived. I wasn’t feeling well so every kilometer spent on […]

Our Panay Loop Adventure (Antique, Capiz, Iloilo: Gigantes Group of Islands) was not possible without the help of our partners. And most definitely, our stay was made hassle-free and totally comfortable by Las Islas Travel & Tours. I remember the first time I met Aphrodite […]
