Diyaluma Falls is the 2nd biggest waterfall in Sri Lanka and is the perfect spot for a full-day adventure. There are multiple falls and natural pools throughout this hike in the Badulla region. I could’ve spent days here at one of the top spots in Sri Lanka. DIYALUMA FALLS HIKE IN SRI LANKA In this …

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 …

El Nido and Coron are two of the most beautiful places in Palawan – in the whole of the Philippines, even. With idyllic white sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons, and towering limestone cliffs, both destinations make for an incredible island holiday. It’s not uncommon for travelers to transfer straight from El Nido to Coron and vice …

Traveling throughout Southeast Asia is relatively cheap whether it is by land, sea, or air. However, I found myself in Siem Reap, Cambodia needing to make the journey to Luang Prabang, Laos within a timeframe of three days at the very most. Usually, I would travel to locations along the way but I was meeting …

If you’re looking for an epic island-hopping adventure in Bohol, Balicasag Island and Virgin Island are two spots you can’t miss. Balicasag is an absolute paradise for snorkeling—I swam with sea turtles just meters from the shore, and the coral reefs were teeming with life. The water is so clear it felt like floating in …

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. THE EL …

Magpupungko Rock Pools are one of my favorite natural attractions on Siargao Island. Located in Pilar, these tidal pools are known for their crystal-clear waters, striking rock formations, and the way they reveal themselves only during low tide. The pools are sheltered from the open ocean by a natural limestone barrier, creating a calm, turquoise …

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. Basically most of the main accommodations hubs are not …

Siargao is a beautiful island but when it comes to sunset, it can be a little tricky to be in the right spot at the right time. Most of the accommodations are on the eastern side of the island, which leands itself more to being a sunrise location. It’s a significant drive to get to …

Siargao is a small, surf island in the Philippines that from first glance may seem to have no cliff jumping opportunities. It’s pretty flat and only has one major waterfall, so I wasn’t expecting much i the way of cliff jumping. In fact, when I first arrived I thought there would be no cliff jumping …
