MY EXPERIENCE.

 When wanderlust started really hitting me in the early days, photos of the Philippines were some of the first that I saved in my ‘someday’ folders. I stared at the crystal blue water and palm trees, longing to go there. In December 2019, I finally traveled to the Philippines! It was my last country after backpacking through 7, and my last month traveling out of 6 months. What a way to end a trip! The Philippines was everything I expected and more! The natural beauty of the country was jaw-dropping, I met some of my closest travel friends there, and connected with so many locals. In fact, as eager as I was to see my family after being away for so long, when it was time to leave I felt very sad to go. The Philippines felt like home in a lot of ways and returning is not a matter of if but when.

I loved every moment of my trip to the Philippines, but my most fond memories are in Siargao, exploring by motorbike and learning to surf and then in Manila, drinking beer and enjoying Filipino delicacies with some locals whom my friends and I met randomly!
