Batangas, Group travel
It was great. We did a lot of island hopping. It's my first time to ride a ferry. The organizer war recommendable. I also loved how my travel buddies were all approachable and helpful as we are all solo joiners.

Bohol, Couple travel
It's a very safe place and convenient. I was with my ex-partner and we met Sef who was a solo traveler and a Virtual Asssistant that enable her to travel while working. It was a nice experience as she became our friend and we even went to Siquijor from Bohol by roro boat

Boracay, Solo travel
Boracay is beautiful and has something for everyone! Went there to meet a friend, ende up making new friends as well! If you are a bit introverted like me, try cafe calma on the back beach! Beautiful place with good food and coffee.

Baguio
It is just other places, you still need to be cautious since you cannot rely on the authorities to help you get your lost money, things, or etc. As long as your deligent then it's all fine. Overall, Baguio has a lot to offer in terms of art.

It is safe, just make sure to put your bags in front of you while walking. Do not trust your things unattended. ******************************************** As per the roads, there's no bicycle lane yet. And be careful when driving when you're at the back of a public jeepney. These jeepneys usually don't have/use signal lights.

Tacloban
Downtown area of Tacloban has the highest foot traffic. This is the place where you most likely will go for shopping all sorts of stuff. Best be alert when walking the streets downtown. Keep your bag close to your body and keep a keen eye.

About me
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 😊
