Travel Diary: La Union 2018 Day 1
Where will this day bring me? On today’s Travel Diary, we’re going on a trip to the northern part of the Philippines, La Union!
Where to Stay in Morong, Bataan: Juness Beach Resort
Ahh, July. July isn’t really the time to be going to beach trips, at least here in the Philippines. After all, July is part of the typhoon season. But blame (or thank?) my parents for this one. Once they get their minds set on something, oh, you know it’s going …
Where to Stay in Davao City: Humberto's Hotel Davao
I wasn’t actually supposed to stay in Humberto’s Hotel Davao.
After searching online for the most decent budget hotel I could snag with my budget, I figured Zen Suites would be the best bet. Unfortunately, after nearly 20 minutes of walking around the area, I still couldn’t find it. Instead, I came across this quaint little hotel at an intersection. I decided to inquire inside and what do you know, only 975 PHP for a single room? Check me in!

Coron Attractions: Bulog Dos Island
Good morning from the Coron Eco Lodge! It’s Day 3 of our Coron trip and we’re up bright and early. The hotel offers free breakfast daily, which makes it even more awesome. Considering the price, it really is worth it! Day 3 is the Banana-Malcapuya Island tour. This time, we …
