  • Batad Hungduan And Banaue Trip last June 2015

    Originally, our plan was just to visit Batad and some viewpoints of Banaue Rice Terraces but destiny had other plans for us as we also went to Hungduan. Together with Lai of PinayTravelista.com and Kuya Dane, my brother, it was a perfect vacation with imperfect logistics and imperfect events.

All I can say that time was the budget was 5,000 Pesos per person and we are leaving on the night of June 11 ...

  • How About a Rice Terraces Mountain Adventure

    It's officially summer, with temperatures hitting the mid-30s. Many will most likely be heading to the beaches, as we have some of the best in the world. But how about going to higher ground instead to explore the Cordillera Mountains, site of our world-famous rice terraces.
