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…
In Scotland alone there are over 200 castles, places where the famous clansmen would defend their territories against attack. Some even serving as sacred sites where the royalty would live, love and die. Visiting all these castles would be impossible to accomplish in a 4-days-3-nights trip and, of course, it…
Three provinces, a dozen islands, church ruins, a water village, mangrove areas, a lagoon, tidal pools, water falls, rivers (enchanted and not), all kinds of beaches, endless van and boat rides, and butt-numbing habal-habal rides. All these in this 7D6N Surigao itinerary that even includes a chill day in Butuan…
Adventure waits for no one. Just as how I no longer wait for other people to go with me when I want to go on trips, adventure would also not wait for me to arrive – or get back. This is the hard lesson I learned during my London side…
London. Capital of the United Kingdom. The best city in the world*. My gateway to Europe. A year ago, if anyone had asked me if London was part of my travel list, I would’ve said no. Six months ago, if anyone had asked if I wanted to go to London,…
United Kingdom: Birthplace of Shakespeare, The Beatles and J.K. Rowling, made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Also, my unlikely gateway to the continent of Europe. But before I was able to visit this island nation, I had to apply for a visa because my passport is ever…
Exactly a week before I was leaving for Europe, I discovered a way to ensure that I made the most of this trip of a lifetime: the iVideo Pocket WiFi. In exchange for a review, this fabulous company let me use one of their pocket WiFis during my #EURockMyWorld tour.…
Raise your hand if at any point in your life you’ve wanted to be a ninja. *raises both hands* Yep, that’s me alright. I’ve always wanted to be a ninja. If only to be able to do one thing: throw a shuriken. How I fell in love with those ninja…
Huis Ten Bosch. The universe’s way of foreshadowing my eventual trip to Europe or its consolation prize for my Schengen Visa rejection from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Whichever it might be, it gave me a pretty good glimpse of what I could have found had I…
With two and a half more hours left in my train ride from London to Edinburgh, I finally get the quiet time I need to compose a year-ender post. I was not able to do this type of post last year as I was still reeling from the aftermath of…
Three hours of train ride and twenty minutes more on the bus would not stop us from going to the famed Hells of Beppu. I first heard about hell in Religion class in grade school, got a very clear idea of how it works at the Haw Par Villa’s Courts…
Not so long ago, I found myself accepting an invite from a total stranger – an invitation to review a restaurant. It was my first time to attend any event as a blogger and that night was the gateway to a whole new world. My usher? Aldous of Aldous Ate…
I have never been a heavy coffee drinker. People who know me, know that I only like “patweetums” coffee: coffee heaped with sugar or caramel or cream or whipped cream or chocolate or all of them. I am no Lorelei nor Rory Gilmore who love coffee straight from the coffee…
Chasing Jayce is my travel blog where I share the stories and tips that I have gleaned from my travels.
