  • Nordic Homes Grande at Cityland: an Instagram-Worthy Staycation in Tagaytay City

    November 6, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I have always marked the first two days of November as the time to be spent with my family. Just then, I just realized that it was among the longest weekend of the year and everyone at home badly wamted to chill somewhere. My grandma and grandpa were also looking forward to going somewhere, too, but they can’t travel far. Because I can never say no to my family, I searched for the nearest AirBnB online where we can check into during this weekend. I was so delighted upon seeing a big unit of the famous Nordic Homes available on a weekend and on a holiday! I booked the room…

  • Sleep well, Pay Less: Experience Zen Rooms in Gramercy Residences in Century City, Makati

    April 24, 2019 / 0 Comments

    My friends and family know me well for not being a big fan of staycations. I just think that staying and sleeping in a hotel room in a city is not entirely different from staying at home. Further, I never lived for cities. I always got a feeling that the buildings and people are constantly squeezing me in making me feel suffocated and claustrophobic. Well, I am true sucker for some actions, beach, camping, ocean waves, free diving, forests and nature – anywhere near the waters and flora. But then, the frequent out of town has got me so tired and spending at the same time that I needed some…

  • A Peaceful Sojourn in Camp Benjamin, Alfonso, Cavite

    January 3, 2019 / 0 Comments

    The first time that I set foot in Camp Benjamin was in 2010, when I was still in college and we had the Basic University Training in Lasallian Leadership. It was also some sort of team building and the venue was more than perfect for such an event. It was also the very first time I was introduced to ‘Glamping’ or glamorous camping. I was truly fascinated with how the tent was set up with mattresses, a small dining table for two or three persons and a small receiving area. We stayed in a pavilion type of convention area during our activities and we thought we had the whole place…

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.
