No matter how bad or good your travel is, there should be no comparison to others. Traveling is not a competition, if you’ve traveled much more than the others, so what? Does it make you a better traveler?no. There’s no perfect formula to a “better quality” kind of traveling, it’s just how you appreciate it, enjoy it. Regardless of what kind of traveler you might be. Actually, traveling should have no label, poor or rich traveler. Because honestly, how do you define and differentiate these two? For example, I know some friends of mine who’s explored to some parts of the globe, and taken business/first class flights yet sometimes they choose to stay at a hostel, then, does that make them a poor traveler? I don’t think so. Who are we to judge after all?Everybody has their own ways of seeing the world, and you, too. I support all types of traveling, because I myself had done tons of backpacking when I was single, yep. Stayed at cheap hostel, booked LCC flights, stayed at luxury if that’s what you call it, and merely because I wanted to experience it and I’m very proud of what I’ve done. Your travel style shouldn’t define you as a person. Rather, portrays how brilliant you are. This is only my travel thoughts and for anyone who believes that their travel is way better than the others because they travel differently, remember this, fundamentally, different is different. Whatever type of traveler you are, be proud. And the only thing that should matter in your travel is, the one that totally sparks joy to you. . . . . . . . #travel #travelstyle #travelstories #travelblogger #adventure #wanderlust #sunkissed #sparksjoy #globetrotter #traveler #vacation #lifewelltraveled #hongkongdiaries #travelingbikini #adventure #gltlove #glt #escapesanddiaries #travelingbikini #hongkongdaily #hongkongtrip #hongkong Hello Friday. Break free ☀️ I have so many favourite beaches in Catanduanes and I’m writing it all down in one blog post. Pretty soon I promise. I have just been caught up with some works to do. But next week is my last week at Deutsch class and I can’t wait for its final week. Hooray! What are you looking forward to on the last week of June? . . . . . #whenincatanduanes, visit #carangyanbeach #happyisland . #travel #travelstyle #travelstories #travelblogger #adventure #wanderlust #sunkissed #summerdestination #globetrotter #traveler #vacation #lifewelltraveled #tropicalcountry #travelingbikini #adventure #gltlove #glt #escapesanddiaries #travelingbikini #summer “Choosing to leave Manila seems like a spiritual awakening for me. It’s as though I could put myself on the other side of the world in a snap. Nevertheless, Manila, where my dreams were made and tried to achieve them, will always play a big role in my life. It will always be my reference point. And I think, i will visit the City every now and then. “ A piece of my article on what it means to leave Manila behind. Link on my blog www.escapesanddiaries.com ⬆️ I actually haven’t left it completely because I am currently taking my intensive A2 Deutsch course but it will finally end next week and I can’t wait for it’s last week. For some reasons, I don’t enjoy it. ( but that’s for another writing later ) . . . . . . . . . . . . #travel #travelstyle #manila #travelstories #travelblogger #adventure #wanderer #wanderlust #sunkissed #summerdestination #globetrotter #summer #traveler #vacation #lifewelltraveled #tropical #tropicalcountry #travelingbikini #adventure #gltlove #glt #escapesanddiaries #travelingbikini #laos #philippines #laosphotos #luangprabang #temple #deutschlernen Arrived in Huay Xai, Pakbeng town on the first way via slow boat that took 7 hours. The slow boat is one of the coolest options to get to Laos and sure does a lot of travelers enjoy to take this mode of transportation. Why? Because well, basically, it’s something new and unique, you’ll also be crossing the worlds 12th longest river and the 7th longest in Asia, the Mekong river. More details about the slow boat to Laos, in my blog escapesanddiaries.com . . . . . . . . #travel #huayxai #luangprabang #traveladdict #travelstories #travelblogger #adventure #wanderer #wanderlust #sunkissed #mekongriver #globetrotter #summer #traveler #vacation #lifewelltraveled #tropical #tropicalcountry #travelingbikini #adventure #gltlove #glt #escapesanddiaries #travelingbikini #laos #slowboat #laosphotos #pakbengtown Eventually after 4 days of staying, exploring the magnificent island of Catanduanes, I'm back to Manila. And going back, I have so many captivating stories to tell, such as how can't I put Catanduanes beauty into words, how delicious the local cuisines and how mega accommodating the people are. It's just totally incredible. Everytime we were brought to a new place or a spot like the beach of Carangyaan where we could almost own the island, get ourselves achieved kind of tan we want, or gape at the glorious view from above the hills of Palestina and/or savouring the organic and fresh homecooked and home grown foods of Delicia's Farms, I'd always tell myself, " how come I haven't discovered Catanduanes before?!" I've seen Catanduanes from our books in Hekasi or Sibika at Kultura where we get to introduce the provinces of The Philippines and I haven't thought that one day, I'd come to not only visit the province but further wander through it. How amazing, right? So I can tell you, before you say that you hate The Philippines because of its countless substandard features in some aspects, please try to appreciate first its gems. I will move to another country soon and I will do it because I will be with my husband in his home country and that's the reason and not because I'm leaving the Philippines because I don't really like it that much. There are so many many fine and remarkable charm THE Philippines has, and one of them is CATANDUANES and thousand of reasons to love it. NAPAKAGANDA NG PILIPINAS and I can assure you that. And I hope that you too, can explore and adore it like the way I do, or maybe in a different way, it doesn't matter. Catanduanes is one of the proofs that Philippines even tho belongs to the third world, it is nevertheless, spectacular. I'm sure one day in the future, ( actually, I wanna go back again, soon!) I'll come back to Catanduanes not only with my husband but with my own family. Thank you, Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), Department of Tourism of Catanduanes and to all the incredible people I've met and with along this journey! ✈️Catanduanes is reachable by flight from Clark - Virac by Philippine Airlines. This is how I am when I’m in Catanduanes. Happy island. There’s countless things to explore on this long stretch magnificent island, from fresh seafood 🦞 🦀, delicious kakanins, to stunning beaches, to breathtaking rolling hills and to locals. What else can you ask for more? If you haven’t been to Catanduanes, I hope you’ll make your way to. It won’t disappoint you. Will only leave you in awe. I promise .
