El Nido or Coron? 12 Factors to Consider in Choosing One Over the Other

The islands of El Nido had received some bright spotlight from various international travel magazines and blogs like Travel and Leisure, National Geographic and CNN.

Long drive would not end in burning flames but in paradise as long as music accompanies us in our travels.

Here’s a playlist […]

I know it’s been some time. And there’s something on your mind. I see, you haven’t been the same since that cold November day. There’s a voice encouraging you to move on but you don’t know where to begin, and heck, you don’t even know where broken hearts go. The relationships that sadly ended (and […]

15 YOLO Trips I Survived

15 YOLO Trips I Survived

For some reasons, we want to test our own limits beyond what our sober mind thinks. We take the chances. Because YOLO. Because opportunities missed are things we regret the most later. I have my own share of craziness in choosing exciting adventures too. Because greater stories don’t start with a “Once upon a time, […]

Top 10 Destinations in El Nido Archipelago (Tour A & C)

There is a total of 20 destinations in four tours within the El Nido archipelago. Of these, we were able to visit the half of the number. But according to our resident traveler, among these four island hopping tours, Tour A and Tour C are the best.

Well, not unti you actually went to these spots. There were interesting justifications behind the nomenclature. These 10 destinations are enough reason to make El Nido as number one beach destination in the Philippines. I certainly agree.
