Prague held a special nook in my heart. It was the first city I traveled solo after a serious talk with my then-boyfriend (now husband) in La Palma (Spain) that I missed traveling solo. When he said that I should do it more then, after all I now live in […]

As an island being, my standard for beaches is quite high, for island life low key. I’m from the Philippines after all. Hvar Island (Croatia) is the first island that I visited in Europe that indeed kinda feel like an island. La Palma (Spain), our future home, is too rugged, […]

I surely love Venetian architecture and the endless and labyrinthine waterways, but personally I can barely stand the crowd. We visited in early September, and the crowd was maddening. Even the locals mumbled under their breath, “Fottuti turisti.” 😳 But despite the crowd, there is no doubt that Venice is indeed […]

We hovered in the same artist group, but I don’t really know this person. She posted some Aachen photos and gushed out how beautiful the city was. I so happened to be in Bielefeld for my work then, so I told my partner that instead of staying in Cologne, I […]

If you’re planning to have a vacation in Mexico, Tulum is always a top choice. The town is divided into two: the downtown and beach sections. Both are a couple of miles apart with entirely different experiences, depending on what you’re looking for. Also called Tulum Pueblo, Downtown Tulum is […]

In a nutshell, Koukounaries Beach is a must when you are in Skiathos Island. Probably one of the two beaches that you should visit regularly in the duration of your stay. Or the beach you should stay if you are looking for options. Why?Nestled amidst lush pine and cypress woodland, […]

Vienna is a beautiful city. Of course, that’s the perspective of a traveler, hmm, scratch that, a tourist whose eyes are glued at these Gothic and Baroque architecture, marveling at the preserved beauty of the bygone years. But there are other Vienna quirks that I find appealing. The subway drunkies […]

The Philippines, an archipelagic country facing the Pacific, never runs out of ways to surprise the curious and the wandering. My home island Cebu, for example, has piqued the interest of fellow Filipinos and foreign travelers alike for its incredible and jaw-dropping underwater ecosystem. On top of my list, regardless […]

Living in Cebu City for almost ten years, I tagged Moalboal and Badian as my personal retreats, away from my metropolitan woes and responsibilities. But Moalboal, for its many conveniences and locals, draws me more. I made several friends here and saw some kids grew up. And while I left […]
