Live Like A Local
Seriously, if one more person asks me about my breakfast coupon I’m going to break my ham and eggs off on their head. Wait, that sounded sort of gross. But I’m not kidding; I’m just a simple (and slightly hungover) wayward traveler who came down to my hotel’s restaurant and […]
I’m back in Siargao—the hottest NOW thing in tourism in the Philippine. It’s only been five months since I visited the coolest surfer island in the country of 7,000+ islands (and a lot of cool!), but I notice that so much has changed. In fact, Siargao has grown up just […]
Ahhhhh Cebu! The Philippines Queen City! One of the oldest and most historic cities in the nation of 7,500 islands! The gateway to the Visaya island region, with some of the best san, sun, and surf you’ll find anywhere in the world! Ahhhhhh, Cebu! Home of….traffic, pollution, and ugliness? Yup, […]
So, I was heading out of town with a special someone and wanted to give her a really nice long weekend vacation. The perfect simple solution was to visit Bohol, one of the most popular islands for tourism in the Philippines with its Chocolate Hills, nice beaches, and other splendid […]

If I ask you, “What is travel really about?” I might receive a wide array of answers. Some people may say it’s all about making wonderful memories with the people you’re with. Others may think it’s a chance to explore new cultures and have adventures in the world. And then, […]
I stay at a lot of hotels. In fact, I’ve lost count how many times I stayed in a hotel last year (maybe 50? Or, possibly 100). While I am relatively domestic these days with my own apartment, I still get out and travel as much as my time (and […]
I’ve been writing about Siquijor a lot, and for a good reason. The island in the central Philippines is fast becoming a must-visit destination in the country, particularly for backpackers, budget travelers, snorkelers/divers, and nature enthusiasts.
