The Department of Tourism’s slogan “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” could, well, do better, but to their merit, there are indeed more novel ways to enjoy your time in the country apart from just lounging on the beach and paryting hard after sundown. Temperatures are soaring and don’t show any signs of quitting anytime soon, so the destination of choice is still the refreshing vistas of sun, sand and sea.

Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte is one of the country’s fairest white sand beaches, but it’s going to be more than just that in the years to come, if sightings of the giant denizens of the deep are any indication. Whales seem to be getting cozy in its shores as well and their presence bodes well for the tourism of the Ilocos (Norte and Sur) province which for the most part has largely depended on beach bums, Catholic pilgrims and history enthusiasts. A new breed of eco-travelers will soon troop to Pagudpud shores en masse, what with the whales finding it hard to leave, too.

Iron Man in Subic Bay
If Iron Man’s thrusters were powered by sea water, they would be called hydrojets, and he would be hydrojet surfing instead of flying pronto to Afghanistan or some other war-torn corner of the Middle East. The newest sensation to ever hit Subic Bay is this adrenaline-pumping water sport that’s fast climbing on the “to-do list” of adventure seekers.

Chris had a passion to contribute to society especially to fellow travelers like himself. He also had a passion for Southeast Asia and frequently visited. While brainstorming ideas, he decided that a travel blog dedicated to his favorite countries, Thailand and Singapore, could be more beneficial than any guidebook. Only one year later did the blog’s success bring in more writers, more countries, and more readers.
