Chocolate Hills, Bohol

May 11, 2019

A visit to the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, Philippines is a nice stop around the island. It’s one of the most iconic landscapes of this part of the Philippines and worth the hour and a half drive away from the main city of Tagbilaran. Along the way, you will drive through the Man-made Forest, a… Read More Chocolate Hills, Bohol

Seeing the Tarsier Monkeys

May 11, 2019

If you ever get the chance to visit Bohol in the Philippines, then you can see the Tarsiers, the world’s smallest monkey, up close and personal at the many conservation areas. It was 80 pesos, so $1.60 USD, near the Chocolate Hills, but being so inexpensive, you’ll have to share the experience with many other tourists, who… Read More Seeing the Tarsier Monkeys

Casaroro Falls, Dumaguete

May 6, 2019

Casaroro Falls in Dumaguete, Philippines was an amazing waterfall to visit. It’s one of the best to see, as the water goes straight down 100 feet to the bottom to a pool where you can swim – with barely any tourists around – except for ourselves. It’s also an easy hike down. 330 steps and… Read More Casaroro Falls, Dumaguete

Swimming with Whale Sharks

May 4, 2019

Sometimes doing the touristy things can turn out surprisingly well and swimming with the whale sharks was exactly that. Despite all the controversy, huge crowds, and long waits, once we got into the water, we were in for a treat. If you’ve ever seen a creature the size of a school bus swim by, only… Read More Swimming with Whale Sharks

Kawasan Falls, Philippines

May 4, 2019

An early morning rise out of bed got us to the Kawasan Waterfalls without any tourist crowd around. The turquoise water changing shade across the morning light and the light roar of a 15 meter waterfall was a sight to see. We had the place to ourselves for a good thirty or more minutes of… Read More Kawasan Falls, Philippines

50th Country Visited

May 3, 2019

The Philippines makes for my 50th country visited thus far. It’s a big accomplishment in my eyes. To grow up in a small island five hours from the closest land mass, to leaving and seeing the world, I would have never thought it was possible. It means that I have been able to see at least… Read More 50th Country Visited

Travel Summary of Current Trip

May 1, 2019

So far on my currently three-month long trip (scheduled to be six months), I’ve travelled to many places. It’s been a journey across much of South East Asia, with a visit to 11 total countries thus far – 9 of them new ones for myself. I think I’ve done it in the most logical manner… Read More Travel Summary of Current Trip

Taipei, Taiwan Day 3

April 27, 2019

A two-hour train ride from Taipei central to Shifen got me to the famous “Niagara Falls” of the Taiwan. On this day, it was raining quite heavily, but that didn’t stop the weekend crowds from visiting this iconic site. The main draw is the waterfall itself, but within the small town or village, as you… Read More Taipei, Taiwan Day 3

Taipei, Taiwan Day 2

April 27, 2019

Exploring Taipei the second day was a much richer experience. Seeing the major sites and learning about the country’s history adds a lot more to a visit, rather than running through a place without knowing a thing about it. I still have much history to learn, however this is a start. On this day, I… Read More Taipei, Taiwan Day 2

Taipei, Taiwan

April 26, 2019

I’ve been sick for the last week while traveling – a sore stomach and some mild fevers. It’s really put a damper on my ability to venture out and see new things. But on my second day in Taipei, I gathered enough energy to get out of the hostel and make the walk up the… Read More Taipei, Taiwan
