    Miagao food trip at Balay Namm’ Seafood & Grill

    One of the things that make me feel happier this year is that I am now able to travel ~again~ outside Manila after, what, two, three years. So when I and my work friends finally booked an out-of-Luzon trip, I was suuupppeeeer excited. And of course, the more food we try, the more we feel happy. Good thing the first meal we had in Iloilo was very, very good, it satisfied my tummy right away. So yep, if you visit Iloilo make sure to try Balay Namm’ Seafood and Grill in Miagao. Balay Namm’ Seafood and Grill is a popular restaurant located in Miagao, known for its seafood and grilled…

    Bacolod-Iloilo-Guimaras (BIG) Itinerary and DIY Travel Guide (5-day trip)

    The “BIG” (Bacolod-Iloilo-Guimaras) adventure is one of the most-listed must-try adventures in the Philippines. It’s also one of the bests, I guess, as you can actually visit more than 20 spots from two different provinces in three days, plus more water and mountain adventures in different islands around the provinces. Not to mention the really good food in Visayas! Here’s our BIG itinerary and travel guide to help you on your trip! Aside from leisure and work, one reason why I love going to places is that it helps me with my way of thinking and honestly, feeling. And while traveling can be mostly exciting and fun, it’s so much…

    Level up your Iloilo foodie experience at The Granary, Richmonde Hotel Iloilo

    Food is the fuel we need to make the most out of our every day hustle, and of course, to enjoy more of our travel experiences. And aside from the usual “carinderia” where local home-cooked food is definitely a must-try, hotel restaurants are also an option especially when you are looking forward to a more convenient and upscale foodie experience. New here? Read this! Hey there! My name’s May and you can view more about me here.  I travel a lot for both work and leisure. Thanks to being an auditor and a content creator and, of course, to my love for travel, I barely feel I’m actually at work when…

    Gigantes Island experience and travel guide

    Islas Gigantes is one of the island hopping adventures I wanted to do ever since I fell in love with beaches. Not only it’s a famous trip, the islands are also very enticing and anyone would definitely want to visit it at least once. So when I got the time and chance to go on a vacay (even though I already have my darling Mnemosyne, thanks by the way, grandparents!), I included the tour in my itinerary, no questions asked. Oh, well of course, where is Islas Gigantes and what to do there. New here? Read this! Hey there! My name’s May and you can view more about me here.  I…

    Luxury Experience at Richmonde Hotel Iloilo

    What are the most important things you usually look for in a hotel for the best staycation you are always planning? Mine’s simple – just a comfortable bed and a sweet platter of whatever it is for breakfast. It’s also nice when I’m staying alone and people around are just so warm. All that and more here in Richmonde Hotel Iloilo. Usually whenever I travel to a province or go for a long vacay from place to place, I don’t book fancy hotel rooms at all. Instead of spending too much for a comforter and air-conditioned bedroom, I’d prefer to stay the night in a simple yet affordable room in…
