Known as the “Garden of Europe”, Keukenhof regards itself as the most beautiful spring garden in the world. Well, I, for one, am not inclined to disagree. I have never been as enamored with flowers as I had been when I went to Keukenhof during my trip to Amsterdam this…
On my last day in Paris, I went underground. Aside from the splendor that Paris has to offer with its museums, churches and twinkling lights, it also offers something macabre. In the 18th century, while Paris was founding the Louvre Museum and building the Champs-Élysées, the church of Les Invalides…
If any year deserves a year-ender post, it’s 2017. While living through 2016 was like getting caught in a quicksand where the more you struggle the deeper you sink, 2017 was very akin to my first full-marathon experience, a very strong start, an arduous middle but a very rewarding finish.…
The best way to visit Paris is to walk around Paris. It is literally the best way to see the awe-inspiring sights, hear the lovely sounds of the French language and smell the melange of smells of this incredible city. It also helps that each must-see spot is only a…
Bucas Grande, also known as Socorro, is a beautiful and remote island not far from Surigao City, which has many smaller islands surrounding it. These islands are all covered with thick jungles, full of exotic plants and animals. Secluded white beaches, hidden lagoons and caves, waterfalls and diving spots are…
The waters of the oceans cover most parts of the world resulting in a plethora of beaches and spots to surf. While some waves rise higher than the others, there is no place like Hawaii to hone your surfing skills. The island is considered to be the birthplace of surfing,…

On my previous post on visa-free and no visa fee countries open to Filipinos, I included South Korea on the list. South Korea is quite special in that there are several conditions wherein a Philippine passport holder can enter without having to undergo an arduous visa application process. First, visa…
Like countless other third-world passport holders, I am a statistic. Yes, despite extensive travel (fine, they were all within Asia!), multiple-entry visas in other OECD countries (Japan and Korea), impeccable travel history (I have never been refused anything in my life save for the Schengen Visa. Char!), complete documentation and…
Earlier this year, news of visa-free entry to Taiwan broke out and caused quite a stir among globetrotting Filipinos. News of its postponement immediately followed but with the promise of updates being released this month. However, while waiting for news of absolutely visa-free travel to Taiwan, there is still a…
Updated: February 5, 2018 – Europe is a dream. Something I have been anticipating for decades. And the wait finally ended when I did my EURockMyWorld tour. After getting my UK Visa, I decided to apply for a Schengen Visa, just by the off-chance that it would be granted since…
Three hours before sunrise and hardly six hours since we made it to our flat in Scotland, A and I were already bustling and getting ready for the day: the one day Loch Ness, Glencoe & The Highlands tour by Timberbush. For the Scotland leg of my #EURockMyWorld tour, there…
Before this trip, I only knew Dumaguete as the land of the magical silvanas (I mean come on, water, butter and flour can’t be all that make up this very delicious pastry; magic must be involved) and Siquijor as the land of the aswangs (monsters) and mangkukulams (witches). I had…
