  • TACTICS Water Gear: Good Quality and Affordable Dry Bags for your Adventures

    December 24, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Being caught in a downpour while strolling down the beautiful streets of a city or trekking on a trail of a mountain and feeling the splash of the ocean water against our skin when sailing from an island to another are indeed among the best and epic experiences we get from traveling. These are some the greatest things traveling could ever give – to make us feel of every element there is and find the joy in it. It truly feels good and amazing until our valuables, especially gear and electronic gadgets, get soaked. It happened to me once while I was on an island hopping tour when my dry…

  • Tactics Water Gear Bags should be your next Outdoor Adventure Buddy

    December 24, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Bags mean a lot for us travelers and adventure seekers. It is what we entrust our stuff with on our trips; thus, we should be more particular not only about its style but also its quality. In 2016, I bought my first travel backpack and waterproof bag which have withstood several trips to the cities, summits and across the ocean adventures in and out of the country. Fast forward to 2019, the bags have started showing signs of failing which put my things into risk. With that, I decided to get new bags for my adventures. That’s when I decided to go for the durable yet affordable ones from Tactics…

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.
