Happy Filipino Kids
Philippines has the happiest kids. We met some kids in a local neighborhood after driving down from the Chocolate Hills and although our plan was to hang around for a few minutes, we ended up staying around for an hour playing around, shooting hoops, and taking photos. Follow and like:
Seeing the Tarsier Monkeys
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
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
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
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
Taipei, Taiwan Day 3
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
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
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
Dili, Timor-Leste
Exploring Timor-Leste, one of the most recently formed countries in the world, and often cited as the least visited among South East Asia, I was excited to see what this place had to offer. Flying into Kupang, Indonesia is the closest you will get, unless you fly direct into Dili International. Those flights as I… Read More Dili, Timor-Leste
