  • Masasa Beach Travel Guide 2023 (Where to Stay, Budget + Itinerary)

    January 17, 2022 / 5 Comments

    Imagine yourself passing through a vast rice field with an array of towering coconut trees at the other side. As you approach the end of the green vastness, eye candy shades of clear blue skies and turquoise waters meeting at a horizon and a stretch of fine grayish white sand will welcome you. All the vibrant summer shades come into life under the bright sun. Let this be an imagination no more as Masasa Beach can give you this vibe in no time. About Masasa Beach Masasa Beach is located at Tingloy – a municipality that is separated from the main land, situated off the coast of Anilao, Batangas. It…

    February 4, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Being the pioneer of full-face snorkeling mask, Decathlon’s brand for snorkeling and diving equipment, SUBEA, is yet to release this year their newest item and innovation – the Easybreath Surface Snorkeling Mask 2.0 that actually lets you communicate even at a distance without removing the mask!

  • 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.…

  • Camp Raya Adventure Resort, Bauan, Batangas

    December 3, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Has spontaneity hit you so hard that you’re tucked in bed at 4:00 AM and that the next thing you know is that you are awake at 5 in the morning in a ride with your backpack going to a paradise? Well, this is what happened to us recently and I’d say it made us instant newbie freedivers. This ‘spontaneity’ took us to the underwater paradise of Bauan, Batangas. With no plans at all, we hit the road and crashed into Batangas’ very own version of bikini bottom – one of the most favorite freediving spots in Batangas.     This laid back place at the south looks plain and…

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.
