The Philippines, one of my favorite destinations
Boracay, the bustling island
Boracay, that paradise island in the Philippines—I’d been dreaming of going back there for years. My excitement was at its peak as the plane began its descent toward Malay Island, the gateway to Boracay. However, the landing marked the beginning…
Snorkeling in Bohol
, a paradise island in the Philippines, is renowned for its turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and exceptional marine biodiversity. I had the opportunity to spend a day on this island, and I must say that the experience was mixed.
Bohol, the Island of the Tarsiers
The Chocolate Hills! A name that evokes a sweet treat, but which actually hides a natural spectacle unlike any other in the world. Imagine more than 1,200 conical hills, lined up in rows, stretching as far as the eye can…
Siquijor, the Voodoo Island
Our adventure in Siquijor got off to a gentle start, with a picturesque jeepney ride from the port to our peaceful retreat for the next three nights: the Mandala Tribe
Philippines, here I am again!

On Friday, still just the two of us, we set out to explore the island. From our hotel, the Sea Winds, we headed left, and after a few minutes’ walk, we climbed up onto the rock to go around it,…
Makati and the First Few Days on Boracay Island
On the way, we had a second run-in with the Pinoy police. Alan turned right onto the Skydive (a highway on a long bridge), drove over a white line, and the police were already there. They asked us questions, and…
Bohol
We arrived in Bohol at 4:30 p.m. and headed for another island: Panglao, which is connected to Bohol by two bridges. The concrete road was very bumpy. The person who picked us up at the airport told us…
Modesta, weekend of the 16th–17th; 2 nights at Ate Meriem’s.
We arrived in Modesta in the early afternoon; it was very cloudy. We met up with Marlon’s entire family: his grandmother, Great-Aunt Valing, his uncle, and all his aunts with their children. Marlon also reunited with many of his old…
