Eat, Pray, Work, Travel then Repeat

Learning Egypt's beautiful history from my Araling Panlipunan teachers way back my high school days got me fascinated with the country's rich history and culture.  My desire to visit Egypt started way back then.  Setting foot to Egypt is another item ticked off my bucket list. I traveled together with eight friends in December 2019 and explored for eight days the land of the pyramids, the mummies, the pharaohs and the sphinx.  Riding on a camel with the pyramid as my backdrop. Prior to the travel, we already planned our itineraries, contacted three travel agencies, discussed our plan and selected the agency with the best package (the cheapest package actually 😃) . Thanks to our dear friend Chumpzy , who did most of the planning! Filipinos need to apply for visa to enter the country. Itineraries/Places visited: Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor, Hurgadha Day 1: City of Alexandria  a.  Arrival and Breakfast We flew from Muscat to Alexandria, Eg...

Northeast of the island of Luzon lies the Cagayan province in region 2. This Ilokano-speaking province, usually the hottest place during the summer period, has a big land size and has various attractions waiting to be explored. Cagayan has inviting clear beaches and long rivers, tall  mountains,  interesting caves and old churches, all waiting to be discovered. My several visits to Cagayan were mostly business trips, specifically to the capital city, Tuguegarao, but combining leisure with these trips became instant vacations. ITINERARIES : TUGUEGARAO CITY, CALLAO CAVE, PIAT, AND APARRI TUGUEGARAO CITY Tuguegarao city is a 12-hour bus ride from Manila. Where to go, what to do and what to eat - the city has its answers. Tuguegarao city has its own authentic tourism that should not be overlooked. It also served as starting point for visiting the other tourist destinations in Cagayan. Old Churhes At the center of Tuguegarao is its 18...

July is Philippines' rainy season, yet me and my friends had one of the best week-long trip at this month. Exploring north and south of Luzon for eight days was quite exhausting but the memories of our travel escapades including the road trips were all remarkable, a one-of-a-kind experience, and a travel adventure I wish I could experience once more. A group of eight made the most out of the eight day trip. The four of us in the group are workmates and we brought with us companies. I brought my father with me, Ed was joined by his older brother, Cathy was accompanied by his husband Holly, and Redjie's company is his 10 year old son. Imagine our age group! The itineraries: - Baguio , La Union , Vigan , Tiaong in Quezon and Manila in eight days! Baguio is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Philippines. Its cold temperature all throughout the year makes it the summer capital of the country. This trip was my fifth ...
