Siquijor skies

My love for clouds was never a secret. Though I rarely look for these vapor nomads in the city, I’ve always looked forward to staring at them for long periods of time whenever I am on the road. They keep me company as I let my thoughts drift away with them. Continue reading

Wandering through a mangrove sanctuary at Guiwanon Spring Park, Siquijor

If there’s one other thing I noticed about Siquijor aside from the crystal blue waters and too laid back environment, it’s definitely the abundance of mangroves in almost all sides of the island. Which is probably why finding a mangrove sanctuary in Guiwanon Spring Park didn’t come as a surprise during our day tour. Continue reading

The sweetness of Visayan ensaymada

We were on our way to the town of Larena and driving along the coastline of of Enrique Villanueva when we spotted a group of three mangrove trees huddled together on the shore. Our trusty driver noticed our fondness for the picturesque view so he decided to stop and let us take some photos. Coincidentally, a sweet scent seemed to be coming from the other side of the road.

Next time, I’ll jump at Salagdoong Beach, Siquijor

Out of all the sight in Siquijor, I was probably most excited to go to Salagdoong Beach Resort. Like the usual traveler, I did my research on the places I could go to and upon seeing photos of the place, I really expected to see one of the best beaches in the province tucked away in the town of Maria.

A lazy Lazi day: St. Isidore Labradore Parish Church and Convent

Whenever a tour guide would say that the next stop would be a local church, my heart would sink and my facial expression would deadpan before you could say ‘thechurchhatesgays‘. So I wasn’t exactly thrilled to find out that the next destination was the St. Isidore Labradore Parish Church and Convent. Continue reading

Free fish spa by Siquijor’s famous balete tree

Since Siquijor is notorious for being an enchanted, aswang-filled, magical island, one should expect that a Balete Tree can be found somewhere on the island. In fact, we encountered several ones during our tricycle tour even though no sign of magical entities could be felt. Then again, we were there in broad daylight. Continue reading

Of boat rides and sunsets

Our tricycle driver told us that the best place in Siquijor for sunsets is in San Juan, where we were fortunately staying at a beachfront inn. The innkeeper recommended we use their small boat for free and wander around the shore any time we want.  And at that moment an image of us rowing to the sea during sunset came into my head.

Chillin’ at Capilay’s Spring Park, Siquijor

It was our first day in Siquijor and on our way to the End of the World when I asked Renz and Gael what they wanted to do for the day. To go on with the day-long tour and just relax the next day or vice versa. Being tired from all the boat rides that morning, they opted to unwind. Shortly after checking in, we decided to go around the peaceful town of San Juan and came upon Capilay’s Spring Park. Continue reading

Vine-swinging at Cambugahay Falls, Siquijor

The photo above was taken by my travel sizzy, Mica, a day before our trio visited Cambugahay Falls. Like most of the photos I’ve seen of this waterfall, the basin showcased a clear blue color that would invite any wanderer to jump right in. When Mica showed me this picture during our first day in Siquijor, I was only more excited to see it up close. Continue reading

Our Dream destinations and making it a reality

Before we became full-pledged travelers, there has to be that one specific destination that ignited a small spark within. A photo or video of a certain place that led us to follow this path, slowly turning that spark into a burning flame for us to continuously chase that dream destination. Continue reading
