Surprisingly affordable and Instagram-worthy AirBnB accommodation in Siargao!
If it’s a pretty fine resort or hotel accommodation, it’s expensive. Or at least it’s what I have always thought? Before, I used to check into more than decent air-conditioned room accommodations because I would want to get a satisfying rest enough to get me ready for the adventures on the next day.

I have gradually turned into a traveler-on-a-budget who usually checks in to room sharing, dormitory type of accommodation because these are way cheaper; hence,…

We didn’t dare check the weather forecast for some monsoons prior to our trip as we have claimed that the sun will be up and brimming like it has always been every summer. With no decent sleep but with a hearty breakfast from my favorite fast food that set the mood for the day, we excitingly took the last P2P trip that was heading from Trinoma to Aqua Planet. Rewarded with comfort by the reclined well-cushioned seat in a fast air-conditioned bus, we drifted and surprisingly woke up at the driver’s call on the passengers who were supposed…
