Why You Should Explore Philippines
I remember an old saying from a tourist about the Philippines, “It doesn’t give you any reason to go there, but once you’re here, it would give you a lot of reasons to stay.” The Philippines has been out of sync from its other Southeast Asian neighbors for quite some time. It has been under the radar of the mainstream backpacking crowds for decades as well. But that doesn’t mean the country has nothing to offer for the traveling crowd, how’s 7,107 islands for a start?

30 Things to do before I turn 30
Time flies so fast and before we knew it we’re already rotting on our death bed. I don’t mean to be that gross nor morbid but it’s just a fact of life. I just want to celebrate life as much as I could. Maybe that’s also one reason why I really enjoy traveling. Life is too short to not spend it with the things that you love doing, right?

Getting an Indian Visa in Nepal
By the third week of August 2009 I was already in Kathmandu. I was excited because Nepal was part of my dream destination ever since I got bitten by the travel bug. I shared a taxi to Thamel together with another guy I met in the airport. As we drove from the airport to the city center, Kathmandu gave me an idea of what India looks like.

Christmas in the Philippines
Philippines would probably be the only country in the world where people starts playing Christmas songs as early as September, begins the Christmas shopping by October, gift-giving (including the most awaited Christmas bonus) by November, and non stop eating, drinking and partying by December. It continues until January for the New Year and extends to February for the Three Kings celebration.

An Hour in Tibet
I left Chengdu around 4AM and headed to the airport. I was ecstatic although I was quite sleepy at the same time. The reason for my excitement was the connecting flight to Kathmandu. I had a one hour layover in Lhasa, Tibet.

How to Survive a Long Flight
Can’t sleep in a long haul flight? Everyone dreads a long flight especially if it exceeds more than five hours. Flip doesn’t like it too. I usually drink some liquor before I board a flight so I could sleep through it. But sometimes, I wake up and couldn’t go back to sleep.

Chengdu: City of Panda
I was in Kangding around the third week of August 2009. I remember that I was contemplating if I’m going to retrace my route to Litang or head on to Chengdu. I allotted almost two weeks for my “Kunming to Chengdu Overland Adventure” trip before heading on to Nepal. I realized that I was actually five days ahead of my schedule.
