    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…

    Garin Farm Inland Resort experience and travel guide

    My goal is to visit at least half of the Philippines ‘ long list of provinces. And finally, last year, I was able to visit Iloilo! It was a actually a 5-day trip around Iloilo City, Gigantes, Guimaras, and Bacolod. But for this post, I will focus discussing one of the spots in my bucket list: Garin Farm Inland Resort. I must admit, Philippines is not my “only” destination of travel. Like other travel bloggers and travel enthusiasts, I’d loooooove to travel the world if there’s a chance. One time I was chilling at a beach in the south, enjoying my coffee and the view of the sea, when I…

    Guimaras: more than mangoes and beaches! (travel guide and one-day itinerary)

    Guimaras is widely known with their mangos and literally, mango farms are everywhere! Unfortunately, we visited the island out of mango season. So if you want to witness the golden fields of the sweetest mangoes in the world, they say, the best time to visit is during summer. I didn’t research about this trip, but luckily, I learned that Guimaras offers more than mangoes and beaches. In fact, people suggest that it’s an all-in island, as it could give you beyond what is expected from it’s humble name. New here? Read this! Hey there! My name’s May and you can view more about me here.  I travel a lot for both…

    Guisi Lighthouse and Ruins: one reason why looking back to our past is still wonderful

    Please do not travel until it’s 100% safe! All travel articles and restaurant reviews in this blog are here to inspire you on your future plans, but please DO NOT LEAVE HOME UNTIL IT’S TOTALLY SAFE! We all are excited to go out and have fun, but let’s keep “safety” our number one priority. Stay healthy! If there’s one thing I didn’t expect from Guimaras is their contributions to the Philippines’ beautiful collections of ruins from different historical places. I went to this island to experience their beaches and maybe taste their sweetest mangoes, but I never thought there’s also this old place worth visiting. We visited the Guisi Lighthouse…
