Siargao Island in the Philippines is definitely on the rise. And yes, I know — someone’s uncle probably surfed here 20 years ago and swears it was “way better back then.” I get it. It’s not a hidden gem anymore, but it’s still growing fast. It started with the surfers. Then came the backpackers. Then…
If you’re a digital nomad and looking for the best coworking spaces or laptop-friendly cafes in Siargao—you’re in the right place. The Philippines has been blowing up with remote workers lately. Coworking spots are popping up, coliving is a thing, and cafes are happily letting you set up shop with your laptop all day. And…
Siargao Island in the Philippines is 100% about to blow up—even more than it already has. (And no, not literally blow up. I’m talking full-on tourism takeover.) So if you’re thinking about going… go now. Before it turns into the next Bali. You’ve been warned. We just spent nearly two months living, exploring, and sipping…
I’ve already talked about Siargao a few times on this blog, mostly to rave about how good the food scene is—and how the vibe here feels a bit like a mini Bali, with all the cool cafes, restaurants, and bars. In this little article, I want to focus on something that surprised me: the cocktail…
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…
