Siquijor in the Philippines is, in my opinion, an absolute must if you’re planning a trip around the country. It’s such a cool island and it honestly feels a bit different from the rest of the Philippines. I mean, we’re talking about a place known for witches and folk healing, so you already know it’s…
Pitogo Cliff Siquijor is one of those nature spots that pretty much everyone visits when they’re in Siquijor, and yeah, I think it’s worth a stop. It’s just outside of San Juan, easy to get to, and the entrance fee is cheap. Nothing about it is incredible, but it’s a nice little place to hang…
Alright, I figured I’d write this because let’s be honest, being a digital nomad or working remotely is booming. Everyone wants to work from somewhere tropical, and the Philippines is definitely having a moment with remote workers. Naturally, I thought I’d share my honest thoughts for anyone eyeing Siquijor as a remote work spot. I’ve…
The Siquijor Beaches are easily some of my favorites in the Philippines, and that’s saying something. And no, I’m not just saying that to hype it up. If you’ve read my guide on Siargao’s beaches, you know I’m not afraid to say when I’m underwhelmed. But here in Siquijor, I genuinely loved the beaches. They…
Siquijor is one of my favorite islands in the Philippines — and if it’s not on your list yet or you’re currently debating whether to visit, this post should give you the answers you’re looking for. Before we get into the whole “is Siquijor worth visiting” thing, a quick note on pronunciation: it’s SIK-EE-HOR. Just…
Siquijor isn’t usually at the top of the list for travelers coming to the Philippines and that’s exactly why I liked it. It’s a bit under the radar, especially for international tourists, and still feels like it belongs more to locals and backpackers than package holiday crowds. The beaches are quiet, the vibe is slow,…
Getting around the Philippines isn’t complicated, but it definitely takes time. Hopping between islands usually means a mix of ferries and short flights, and things just move a little slower out here. That’s part of why we all love the Philippines right (until you’re waiting on a delayed boat for two hours). Siquijor is one…
Siquijor is one of my favorite islands in the Philippines—and one of the reasons is that, for Filipino standards at least, it actually feels like it has some culture. A common critique I’ve heard about the Philippines is that it lacks cultural depth compared to other Southeast Asian countries. Which, to be fair, isn’t the…
Siquijor is easily one of my favorite islands in the Philippines—but let’s be real, it’s not because of the food scene. Compared to places like Siargao or Bohol, Siquijor feels way more low-key and a lot less touristy, which I personally loved. It felt more local, more relaxed, and just overall more genuine and authentic….
Let’s be real, Siquijor isn’t exactly known for its coffee scene. This island is still a bit under the radar compared to places like Siargao, and that includes when it comes to cafes. But after spending nearly two months in Siargao (which has some of the best coffee culture in the Philippines), I knew I…
