    Weekend trip to Tarlac (itinerary + travel guide)

    The province of Tarlac does not really make the same noise as the top touristy provinces in the Philippines. So why Tarlac? What people don’t realize is this place is such a gem to anyone who loves traveling. No matter what you love doing, they got it here.  Tarlac boasts its ecotourism which is very evident in every spot you could go to. Among all the Philippine provinces you have in your bucket list, Tarlac is probably one with unexpected beauty, and hopefully, this article would inspire you to visit Tarlac as well (if you’ve not been there yet). <3 New here? Read this! Hey there! My name’s May and…

    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…

    Romblon Itinerary and DIY Travel Guide (3-day trip)

    Romblon is an archipelagic province located in MIMAROPA (also known as Region IV-B consisting of Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan) region in the Philippines. I and my friends figured it’s less traveled compared to the famous Boracay, or Kalanggaman, or Palawan, so we knew we have to explore it first before it trends on social media and we’re caught with uncomfortable crowds. So I’m here sharing with you our quick and fun Romblon itinerary! The province is well-known for its local marble industry and it’s also one of the highest producer of the mineral in the country. Aside from being home of quality marbles, Romblon also attracts tourists with its…

    The Hidden Jewel of the North: what to love about Boinao, Pangasinan

    Whenever I hear “Pangasinan” or any province somewhere North, I get super excited about the food. They just have this special skill in cooking that, in my personal opinion, really stands out. I am from the South, so I guarantee you no bias here. But I’m not here to compare two great, incomparable cuisine. In this article I’m going to share my super fun experience on both travel and food around Bolinao, Pangasinan.  Let me first thank Sundowners Vacation Villas, Bolinao Tourism, The PH Archipelago (and @traversephilippines), What To Eat PH, and of course Dodj Mallari for inviting me over for a 3-day trip around Bolinao! New here? Read this! Hey there! My name’s May and you…

    Quick La Union Getaway (with itinerary and expenses)

    Note: This is an article originally posted on my previous blog, Miss Understood on Tumblr. YES! Finally had a quick vacay after the longest time of work… and being bored at home! Believe it or not, this was my first time in La Union so please bear with my overly-shown happiness. I stayed there hoping to try everything from socializing to surfng, but the ASEAN traffic scared me  to stay there longer. Anyway, plan is to go back there maybe on January or at least before summer. For now, my next trip is to chill at on of the beaches in Zambales some time in December, before or after our company…
