El Nido, the small town on the island of Palawan, is known for having some of the most stunning nature in the Philippines. I’m sure you’ve already seen loads of amazing pictures of limestone cliffs, turquoise water, hidden beaches, and secret lagoons, chances are high those were taken somewhere around El Nido. But to actually…
From my own experience, traveling the Philippines takes a bit of effort, it’s a country made up of islands, and naturally, you’ll want to visit as many as you can. But because of that, I often get asked things like “Is Siargao better than Siquijor?” or “Should I go to El Nido or Siargao?”. These…
I’ve had quite a few people ask me lately: is El Nido worth visiting? So I thought I’d put together a quick little guide to answer that question properly. I’ve spent close to three months in the Philippines and tried to see as much of this beautiful country as I could and naturally, El Nido…

Huacachina is one of the most unique places in Peru and that’s saying a lot considering this country is home to Machu Picchu, the Amazon, and the Andes. But Huacachina stands out. It’s the only natural desert oasis in all of South America, and the tiny village surrounded by huge sand dunes really does feel…
When I was planning out my 5 days in Cusco Peru before hiking Machu Picchu, I wasn’t totally sure how I wanted to spend my time—but Rainbow Mountain had been popping up on my Instagram feed for at least a year. The colors looked unreal, the alpacas were adorable, and honestly, the FOMO was setting…
One of the big highlights of my trip to Sri Lanka was definitely visiting Yala National Park. I’d never done any kind of safari before, and getting up close to elephants and even spotting a leopard was incredible.
