  • Summer Cruise & Diving in Batangas: A New Chill Hub for Ocean Enthusiasts (Guide, Review, Rates 2022)

    February 20, 2021 / 0 Comments

    “The water takes up a larger portion of the earth than the land. 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…

  • Three Reasons Why You Should Start Diving Now

    December 5, 2019 / 0 Comments

    There is something about the ocean that will make you hold your breath and just be lost in its beauty and the reverie. The rays of sunlight piercing through the surface reveal the colors of the enthralling whole new world beneath. These very rays are hypnotic as it dance and shine though the surface to what seemed like a bottomless chasm. These were more than enough for me to keep me coming back to the ocean, enough to keep me diving into it. I don’t know if these are enough for you so I’m giving you three more reasons as to why you should also let the ocean cast its…

  • The Differences between SCUBA Diving, Freediving and Skin Diving

    December 5, 2019 / 1 Comment

    The largest portion of this planet is covered with water bestowed with millions of creatures of different colors and species underneath. This also gives you millions of reasons to start diving now. Apparently, there are also lots of ways to explore it and among those are SCUBA diving, Freediving and Skin Diving. I was introduced to diving in the last quarter of 2017. I was extremely captivated by the life underwater that I craved for more. The desire to explore and enjoy  the ocean has lead me into trying SCUBA, skin diving and freediving. As I get frequently engaged into these, I have seen how each is different from the other.…

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.
