3 things I learned from being an expat
Moving to the Philippines and becoming an expat changed my life. Here’s how moving to a foreign country changed my perspective on life.
Olanguan Falls, Palawan
If you want to break up your drive in Palawan, be sure to check out Olanguan Falls. Lovely multi-tiered waterfalls that are an easy walk to find. Swim in the cool mountain waters, and relax in a bamboo cabana. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.
SaltyBug’s Guide to Travel with Kids
Whether taking a road trip or catching a flight, travel with kids is always going to be interesting – in both a fun and exciting way, and also in an ‘OMG what have we done’ kind of way. From projectile vomiting all over the car and you, to constant whinging and whining, there will be a little something for everyone.
Hulugan Falls, Laguna
Hulugan Falls is by far our favourite waterfall in Laguna. The drive is a little long so leave early. Pack a picnic, your swimmers and be prepared for a short but reasonably challenging hike, and get down there. The kids loved it, managed the rocky climb with ease and now they keep asking to go back. You get to drink cool clean water straight off the mountain! Seriously why are you waiting?
Sicogon Island
I was going to name this post When Holidays Go Wrong part 2, but that isn’t entirely fair, it only sucked 3/4 of the time. You see, I got sick…really sick right before we left for the airport to visit Sicogon Island. Never Ever do I want to travel sick again…
Tablas Island
Tablas Island is the largest island in the province of Romblon here in the Philippines, and another ‘waiting to be discovered’ jewel in this area. What you will find when you get there are white sand beaches with crystal clear turquoise waters. It is gorgeous.
Biak Na Bato National Park, Bulacan
It was an unexpected find, but Biak na Bato National Park in Bulacan is well worth the travel. Pack your bathers, a picnic and sunblock and come and enjoy the serenity.
Tuko Beach Resort – Occidental Mindoro
Every felt like you found your paradise? I have…come along with me and let me introduce you to the Tuko Beach Resort on Occidental Mindoro. A secluded hideaway, a place to escape to.
The Central Markets Quiapo – No Baby Chickens Died for this Post…
We took a trip to the Central Markets in Quiapo – that’s old town. SB had a hankering to eat a deep fried day old baby chicken…thankfully we did not find any. We found heaps of other stuff though…
Finding the Unexpected at The Twin Falls, San Juan, Laguna
We were meant to go someplace on Adventure Saturday but ended up elsewhere. Ever had that happen to you? Sometimes though, the unexpected is often the best.
