Heritage Vigan - Expenses | Itinerary | Experience

On the 2nd day of our Ilocos trip, we headed towards Vigan City, the capital of Ilocos Sur and a UNESCO World Heritage site!!!

Katagbaoan Beach Farm - My Haven In Tagbaobo, Samal

I always like a fresh weekend get-away and so, I can just go to Samal and see endless choices of white beaches with complete amenities. But for me, well-known and accustomed beach resorts are too middle-of-the-road.

I’m sharing this favourite haven of mine for...

Day 1 in Hong Kong - Davao to Manila to HK

January 23, 2011 So this was the trip that made me a travel enthusiast. Went out of the country with my good friend Essa without a tour guide.

So we carried on with the basic knowledge we got from the internet and random inputs from friends who were able to visit the peninsula. Positively,...
