    Decathlon’s SUBEA Neck Weight Review

    October 17, 2019 / 0 Comments

    One of the most important things I’ve learned during my Depth Training with Ocean Limits PH is to check your Neutral Buoyancy every time you dive. This means you are neutrally buoyant at ten meters – you neither go up or down when at the ten-meter marker. It is a must to check it every dive for safety reasons; especially to know if you should put on those weights or not. If you are neutrally buoyant or if you’re a sinker at the marker, you better lose the weights. During our depth training, I used a neck weight to maintain a good position and a smooth duck dive. However, It…

  • Reasons Why You Should Enroll to a Fitness Program

    October 10, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I dropped by Decathlon Dasmarinas as I saw that they were on a Season Clearance Sale and I noticed that there’s something new about the set up at their Community Area. It was turned into a gym. I knew they were up to something interesting so I approached the guy at the area and had a little chat. It turned out that the man I was talking to was not a staff but a fitness coach from Athlon Fitness. I had an interesting talk with him about working out and learned a lot. What transpired in our little chitchat were the reasons of why should one enroll to a fitness program.…

  • This travel and sports retailer lets you test their products before you buy it! – Decathlon Philippines

    June 10, 2019 / 0 Comments

    The opening of the very first Decathlon‘s physical store in the Philippines was a blast as this European travel and sports retailer has been known to deal quality yet affordable products. The struggle in resisting to shop is real as the items are really tempting that visiting without purchasing anything would make you feel regretful. I have personally proven how good these were as most of my travel items are from this store. So if you are also looking for a place where you can go get the necessary travel and sports equipment, don’t think twice about going to Decathlon.

THE QUEEN’S ESCAPE

lady sipping juice from a paper cup

Hi! I am Queenie Anne Gumiran, the queen who escapes; a firm believer of the line, ‘we all deserve a little wanderlust‘. I started the Queen’s Escape travel blog to tell people a thousandfold stories about my motherland – that Philippines is more than just its pristine beaches and breathtaking summits. It aims to make the readers know about the best places to explore – both the world-renowned and the off the beaten path, how rich and diverse its culture is, how delectable the food is and more. More than these stories of wanders on a budget, The Queen’s Escape also tells stories of adventure on freediving and its advocacy, sustainable traveling.
