North Luzon Loop Road Trip Travel Guide 2023
It was a pouring morning of Christmas day, 25th of December, 2019 when the thought came to us. While everyone in the world was busy exchanging holiday greetings and gifts, a friend of mine who also travels a lot and I were thinking of going somewhere for a week or less during the holiday break.

Amazing Travel Tips for Teachers
We, teachers, are also humans. While our job is truly rewarding, it may also become taxing at times especially if we do not take a break from it once in a while. Thus, we need to get away sometimes because we deserve it.

While she still can, I want her senses to be enlivened by anything naturally splendid – be it an element of a city, the sea or the summit.

Chill Chill House: AirBnB in Tagaytay City with Stairway to Heaven
The faint sunrays were stubbornly making its way to the room through the gaps in the curtain. Half asleep, I stretched a lazy arm to open the curtain on the bed side to check through the window as to how high the sun was already. The pastel skies greeted me. This must be immaculate at the roof deck. Not wanting to miss this scene in the open, I dragged myself out of the bed to the shower for some quick morning rituals.

As a traveler, nothing feels better than being able to experience the outdoors once again after being locked down at home for more than half a year.
