Surfing in La Union

Surfing in La Union

La Union is a beautiful province located between Pangasinan and Ilocos Norte. Roughly four hours away from Manila, La Union is the common stopover for people visiting Baguio or Vigan. But La Union is also popular for something else: surfing! La Union has the fifth-longest coastline in the planet, and the surf is consistent throughout the year.

Our first stop was in […]

    Summer in November at Shangri-La Boracay

Most people will say, “Only in the Philippines!” Boracay has placed the Philippines in the world map. It is a popular tourist destination that doesn’t need any more introductions. I’ve been to Boracay many times, but my trip last weekend is my favourite. I like to describe it as “Living the life of Riley” in Boracay. I took advantage of the long break, so I boarded a plane going to Kalibo, […]
