Hello, travellers! I explored 14 of 18 regions in my home country. If you need info and tips in exploring the Philippines, just ask me out. Nearest airport to me is Clark (2-3 hrs from Manila) and it is also a recommended gateway to Cebu and Palawan, so you'll skip the hectic capital. Am available on weekends. Let me know if you need travel buddy 👣 I am into culture, history, and nature as a social science teacher and environment advocate / youth leader. In my travels, I also allocate language / culture exchange and volunteer opportunities. I like to hike and the outdoors; I scaled the highest mountain in the Philippines in November 2023. I am doing solo travel once in a while and I am completing my Southeast Asia trip, hopefully in 2025. Dream destination is Machu Picchu 😊

We went to Manila because our plane landed here and we shopped in the malls around Chinatown. This area is the area we felt the least safe in overall during the trip, but it wasn't bad. The city is overpopulated and there was a lot of trash and pollution. We were also the only people who were visibly tourists since we are White and there were no other White people in the area. The shopping was generic and the street food made us sick. I don't recommend Manila. Cebu was great! We went down to Moalboal to swim with the whale sharks, go to Kawasan Falls (we didn't go canyoneering, just walked to the falls), and saw the sardine run. Everything was lovely. Still a little dirty but it is a third-world country. If you go to the whale shark tour, make sure you arrive at the viewing site by 5am. If you're later than that, you'll wait quite a while. Also, whale sharks don't like sun. If possible, go on a cloudy day. We also took a ferry from the cebu city area over to Bohol. We left from the Tag port which I recommend. It's closer to the Tarsier sanctuary. A storm delayed our trip to Bohol a few hours and that was a shame because Bohol was my favorite place we went. We also we to Siargoa. I'll return to write more details later. If anyone is planning a trip to the Philippines, feel free to reach out.

This is the further inland part of Busuanga Island (people may know it as Coron). We stayed near the jumpoff point to black island - so extremely far from where tourists usually stay. For this area, I'd say: - Public transport 6/10. there's set times for UV/vans going to the town. But motorcycle rentals are possible with local hotels - Food 4/10. Not much choices, even karinderyas are rare - Budget is average - Sights are 11/10. Black island is DEFINITELY a place I would recommend to visit! The boatmen, guides, and caretakers of the island are indigenous people of Busuanga. They practice utmost care for the environment and appreciate equally responsible tourists :)
