Flying back to Davao City felt like a whole new experience, as I discovered new spots and exciting things to do around the city. Known as the gateway to Mount Apo – the country’s highest peak – Davao is also famous for producing some of the best durian. It’s also home to conservation efforts for […]
There are only a handful of Filipino restaurants I genuinely appreciate, particularly those that explore “deconstructed” versions of classic dishes – presenting familiar flavors in a different way. It’s not easy to execute, especially when traditional Filipino cuisine is already rich and comforting. That’s why discovering a place that does it right feels special, like […]
Davao is a vibrant and culturally diverse destination located in the southern part of the Philippines. A home to Mt Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, and Durian, the king of fruits. The destination offers a variety of exciting attractions from natural wonders and beaches, to interesting food and exhilarating activities. Manila to Davao […]
The Philippines has such rich and diverse culture, and it was just recently that I had the opportunity to travel and explore Filipino festivities. Cebu Pacific Air and the Department of Tourism Davao flew us to Davao City to experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of the Kadayawan Festival. Kadayawan Festival is a vibrant celebration […]
We left Samal Island torn, confused and hopeful that on our last day we would be able to visit Eden Nature Park before we fly back to Manila. When we arrived back to the city via Roro, we realized 3 things: (1) Eden Nature Park is far from Davao Dormitel (they lovingly adopted us and […]
Travel | Davao Day 3: Monfort Bat Cave and Around Samal To the bat cave off we went on our first (and only full day) in Samal Island, Davao. We rode a motorcycle called habal habal which is a common mode of transportation in Samal. It was a 45-minute drive from our hotel to the […]
I want to take you back to my not-so-recent travel to Davao and our quiet place where we stayed in Samal – La Vida Orchard Samal. Read: Day Zero to Davao We found a nice hotel in Samal Island which serves breakfast at really affordable price. La Vida Orchard Samal is a bed and breakfast […]
Travel: Davao Day 3: Getting to Samal Island from Davao City via Bus & Roro If there is anything that your friends can say to get you get killed while on travel, it is for them to say the things that scares you the most. For me, it is anything that requires long boat ride. […]
I was expecting Day 2 of our Davao Travel to be more promising for the #ruroro. Promising indeed, day 2 literally brought us closer to nature and each other. I woke up earlier to attend Sunday church. I was expecting the boys to be ready when I went back at 7 in the morning, but […]
Travel | Davao Day 1: Davao Impressions + Not the Best Itinerary for Travelers I never expected our recent Davao trip to be too chill and relaxed. Literally chill, as the temperature drops and way too relaxed, which means leaving hotel at 11 in the morning. It is ironic that when we didn’t have the […]
