Port Barton is kind of like El Nido’s quieter, more affordable little brother. And if you’ve read any of my other Port Barton travel guides, then you already know I really liked it here but I also don’t think there’s a ton to do. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. The town itself is honestly…
Port Barton in Palawan is, from my experience, one of those places in the Philippines that still flies a little under the radar. Everyone’s heard of El Nido, but barely anyone talks about Port Barton, which is kind of surprising, because it’s a super chill little beach town just a few hours away from El…
People are always surprised when I tell them I spent nearly an entire summer in Salzburg. The follow-up question is almost always: “Is Salzburg worth visiting?” Most people only know it as the city from The Sound of Music, if they know it at all, and usually have Vienna higher on their list when planning…
When I visited Port Barton, I honestly had zero expectations, mainly because I hadn’t even heard of it before arriving in Palawan. But Port Barton ended up becoming one of my favorite little beach towns in the Philippines. It’s super small and charming, way less touristy than El Nido, and I really loved that. It’s…
Port Barton feels a bit like El Nido’s little brother, just quieter, more laid-back, and without all the hype. It’s a small, sleepy beach town roughly halfway between Puerto Princesa and El Nido. There’s not a whole lot going on, but that’s kind of what I liked about it. Beautiful beaches, a handful of cute…
I can’t believe it’s already time to start planning my 2026 trips. There are so many places I want to visit but with limited time (and let’s be honest, budget), I’ve gotta be a little strategic. Choosing your big holiday for the year can feel like a lot. Do you wanna chill on a beach,…
If you’re planning a trip to the Philippines, or even just starting to Google around, El Nido will definitely pop up. It’s one of the most popular destinations in the country, and honestly, for good reason. El Nido is known for its incredible scenery: turquoise waters in every shade of blue and green, massive limestone…
Since the El Nido island hopping tours are pretty much the biggest highlight in Palawan, I figured I had to write a quick review of the ones I did, along with my honest opinion and experience. El Nido is one of the most popular places to visit in the Philippines, and the main reason is…
If Salzburg isn’t already on your Austria itinerary, you need to fix that, immediately. It’s easily the second most popular stop after Vienna, and for good reason. Nowhere else wraps up storybook charm, mountain views, and a hilltop fortress into one walkable, wildly gorgeous city. You get cute cobblestone streets, baroque buildings, a river slicing…
El Nido, Palawan is easily one of the most popular, if not the most popular destinations in the Philippines. Most people come here for the nature, and for good reason. The towering limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, and crystal-clear water are what make the island hopping tours the main attraction. But there’s actually more to do…
