    It’s undeniable – a lot has been into freediving lately. The ocean and the activity itself is inviting for a million reasons.

Once introduced to this sport and recreation and with the appropriate gear, the next thing that divers think about is the spot…

Thus, if you won’t go on an ocean adventure, you would definitely be missing out a lot of the amazing wonders that the world underwater has to offer.” [non-verbatim] I have heard this quite a lot from people who are enthusiasts of the vast and deep ocean. My eyes were opened to this fact the moment that I started diving. Indeed, it holds creatures of various species that live in tranquility underneath the sea. Every dive is a chance of meeting a new friend, an amazing resident of the abysmal brine. Also, the diving experience itself, I…

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.
