After spending three slow, salty weeks in Siargao, we hopped on a flight to Cebu, called a Grab to the ferry terminal, and then cruised across the water to Bohol ready for something new. We spent a few days exploring the island and honestly, some parts were incredible, others were just okay. But if you’re…
Trying to figure out how to get from Cebu to Bohol without stressing over schedules, ferry chaos, or whether you’re about to accidentally book a ticket for next month? We got you. We just made the trip from Cebu to Bohol and this guide covers exactly how to do it. From ferry options to travel…
Alright, I’ll be honest—this was one article I kind of dreaded writing. Not because I don’t love Siargao (I really do), but because my opinion on the beaches here might ruffle a few feathers. But hey, I’m not here to sugar-coat anything. This is about my experience, and I always keep it real. Siargao is…
If you asked me to name my favorite place in the Philippines, there’s a high chance I’d say Siargao. And while there are many reasons why I love this island, one of the big ones is the food. Like, seriously. In my humble (but well-fed) opinion, Siargao has the best food scene in the entire…
Nuwara Eliya definitely surprised us. After a couple of weeks of travel along the south coast of Sri Lanka, we took the train from Ella to Kandy and decided to stop in Nuwara Eliya for two days. It ended up being the perfect break. The town is often referred to as little England as it…
Oh Siargao… it took me a while to fall in love with you. I did eventually—but not gonna lie, it wasn’t love at first sight (and yes, the underwhelming beaches played a part in that). I’ve spent over two months on the island now, and while I was super skeptical at first, it slowly started…
I have to admit, Mirissa is not the best spot in Sri Lanka for a beach vacation. Does that surprise you? I feel like that’s something people just don’t mention about most of these beach towns on the south coast—Ahangama, Weligama, and yes, Mirissa. They don’t exactly have those wide, white-sand beaches that stretch on…
When I first started planning our Sri Lanka trip, I knew I wanted to take that famous train ride—the one winding through the hills from Kandy to Ella that everyone seems to talk about. I pictured misty mountains, endless tea plantations, and that perfect moment leaning out of a train door, wind in my face….
Mirissa is for sure one of the most popular beach towns in Sri Lanka. When we first started looking into places to stay, I wasn’t totally sure if Mirissa was the right call—I’d seen so many videos of it looking super busy and crowded, and at the time we were craving something a bit more…
After two months on Sri Lanka’s south coast, arriving in Nuwara Eliya was honestly kind of a shock—in the best way. We took the train from Ella, and it ended up being the most beautiful part of the whole journey. As we climbed higher into the mountains, the scenery completely changed. The thick jungle slowly…
