After a great cleanup last year in the Philippines at Budlaan Falls in Cebu City, it was again time to bring the Adventure Bag Crew to the Philippines. For this cleanup, I made the journey over Bohol on my motorbike to team up with Plastic Free Bohol. Plastic Free Bohol actually helped to inspire the …

This week has seen me chip away on so many fronts on the computer that I have spent more time sweating in the French Cafe than I have outside at the beach, which is only meters away. I always play the long game. That often means that a specific week can be a 5/10 but …
The Lombok field trip was a success but that was quickly in the past as I jumped into a day full of transits back to my apartment in Moalboal on Cebu, Philippines. I teamed up with Cebu Pacific for the flights, which was a handy little collaboration for the transit. From Bali, you need to fly …
When I decided to meet my friend Jorden for a month of Philippines backpacking adventures I had no idea what we would find amongst the 7500 islands that make up this beautiful country. We did about one hour of research together in Kuala Lumpur and planned a rough Philippines itinerary that would begin in Cebu. …
In this blog post, I will discuss what the Donsol Whale Shark Interaction was like for a tourist and also what the Eco-tourism initiative is all about. By the end of this article, you should have an idea of whether it is something you agree with and want to participate in based on my personal …

For $10 USD I was able to enjoy a 6-hour day trip tour to both Virgin Island Bohol and Balicasag Island. The …
Bohol what can I say about this amazing little Island? I had no expectations during the ferry journey from Oslob to Bohol mostly because I had never even heard of the island. After five wondrous days of adventure across Bohol, it quickly became one of my favorite spots in the Philippines. Hopefully, these Bohol photos …
When in El Nido it is obligatory to do an island hopping tour. I did tour A and loved it, it was unbelievable. However, with organized tours come crowds and time restrictions. So several days after the tour, Jorden and I rented a double kayak at midday for 400 pesos or $8 USD. Wondering what Camera …
Magpupungko Rock Pools on Siargao Island are one of the most popular things to do and easily my favorite day trip on the island. Just a 45-minute moped drive from the main tourist area of General Luna, the rock pools are exposed at low tide and are an awesome spot for hours of exploring and …
When you are in Siargao you will quickly realize this isn’t an ideal island for watching the sunset. General Luna, the main tourist area, faces in a south-east direction. The sunset at Cloud 9 surf break is still nice but it is facing the wrong way. We pulled up google maps and tried to find …
I spent a month on the island of Siargao and chased the sunset most nights. The only thing that stopped me from watching the sunset was a couple of tropical storms. Throughout the month I explored some known sunset spots and also created a few of my own! This is a list of my favorite …
