Pangangan, Bohol 🌅 Is This Remote Philippines Stopover Worth The Hassle?
Geography can be a deceptive business in the Philippines. Take Pangangan. You look at a map, see a blob surrounded by turquoise water off the west coast of Bohol, and think, “Hello, island getaway.” You picture yourself sipping something out of a coconut while dangling your feet in soft white sand. But no. Pangangan is
Madrid Budget Break 💃 Where to Eat & What to Do
There are few European capitals that manage to be simultaneously exhausting and utterly seductive, and yet, there stands Madrid. It beckons. A whirlwind of cobblestones, sun-drenched squares, and art that could make the most cynical soul weep. What did we see? What did we eat? And more importantly, what did we queue for? So pour
Kinabalu Climb Part 2 🧗♀️ Summit Push & Descent
The reality of Borneo’s Mount Kinabalu, we discovered, lies not in the triumphant photographs taken at dawn, but in the pitch-black, exhausting hours preceding them, and the subsequent descent. If day one to basecamp is a leisurely climb ending with a decent buffet, day two begins with a brutal, sharp, and very cold slap across

Paradise Lost & Found 🗺️ A not-so-Serene Experience of Sigiriya, Sri Lanka
Sigiriya, for those unfamiliar, is a destination in central Sri Lanka where history allegedly seamlessly blends with nature and culture. It sounds utterly idyllic. But before you get to the soaring views atop that iconic Rock Fortress—the UNESCO World Heritage site that everyone raves about—you must first endure the gritty, unsung business of getting there.
Tenerife Siam Park 🌊 An Outing not to be Missed
It’s a curious thing, this business of being crowned the ‘World’s No 1 Water Park’. It conjures images of some adjudicating body meticulously measuring the incline of every ride and the structural integrity of every wave. But honestly, when you arrive at Siam Park in Tenerife, even a grouch like myself has to admit they’ve
Borneo’s Kinabalu Climb 🧗♀️ What Happens Before the Summit Push
It is often said that preparation is everything. This, I find, is a wonderfully optimistic sentiment usually spouted by people whose biggest adventure that day involves finding the matching sock. As for us? We had indeed prepared, arranging our assault on Mount Kinabalu six months in advance with Amazing Borneo Tours. They are veterans of
Boquete Mountain Trails 🥾 Dangers & Precautions
When the name Boquete is mentioned, one immediately conjures up visions of steaming coffee, rolling green hills, and that particular brand of jungle chic that seems to attract the more adventurous among us.

Rome 🍝 Inexpensive Start for Long-Haul Flights
This much we know: there are few things more soul-destroying than staring down the barrel of a ten-hour flight, knowing you’ve just haemorrhaged a small fortune for the privilege of being crammed into a glorified tin can. Travel, as they say, is widening, but it’s not just your wallet that feels the squeeze. That’s why,
Georgetown Penang 🧨 A Cultural Smorgasbord
When you first set foot in Georgetown, it doesn’t immediately scream “UNESCO World Heritage Site.” It murmurs it, perhaps, from beneath a heavy layer of tropical humidity and the faint, persistent smell of frying things. Yet, this captivating speck of humanity in Penang is exactly that: a certified cultural oddity where the old, the even
