Siargao is one of the most favorite beach destinations in the Philippines attracting both local and foreign tourists. While it is known as the Surfing Capital of the Philippines, a number of activities can be done (including the satisfying restaurant hopping) within the archipelago of Siargao for non-surfers as well. Here’s our do-it-yourself Siargao travel […]
Last year, also the second year of my travel, I applied for a life insurance for myself.

I enjoyed wandering around the Balinese beaches, cliffs, lakes, and mountains with temples all over.
