  • Anawangin Cove, Zambales 2023 DIY Travel Guide

    June 10, 2021 / 5 Comments

    Tall pine trees towering over you in a campsite just a few steps from the salt water and ocean waves? Sure. Anawangin Cove has it. In just a 4 to 5-hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Manila with a 30-minute wave-battling boat ride is a hidden paradise called Anawangin Cove located at Barangay Pundaquit, San Antonio, Zambales. It is one of the recently known coves of Pundaquit along with Agnain and Nagsasa. As aforementioned, the beach is known for its relaxing campsite, fine gray sand and the beach itself enveloped in the mountain ranges of Pundaquit which can be trekked during one’s stay in there to get an…

  • Tribe and Trek Zambales: An Adventure that Matters with the Yangil Tribe

    June 7, 2019 / 0 Comments

    When I started traveling, all I cared about was nothing but good photos of me and the scenic spots of the spectacular places that this world hold. I got nothing but a romantic and ‘touristy‘ outlook into going to places. However, my perspective shifted when the ugly truth hit me hard. If not seen on the news, I’d see for myself the alarming amount of trash particularly plastic in the ocean carried by the waves and current from the community nearby or from the tourists who intentionally left it at the shore, dead endangered sea creatures being washed ashore or found floating in the waters in the morning, closed trails…

  • 2018 Subic Bay SEA Series Finale Trifecta Weekend

    October 9, 2018 / 0 Comments

    “A race for the hardcore; definitely not for the weakling“ This is how I described the Spartan Race after I have witnessed one held in Subic Bay last September 16, 2018.  Spartan Race is not anyone’s ordinary run or race. Participants are expected to run, climb, throw, push, pull, jump, crawl and more as there are several obstacles on their way to the finish line. Do it and you’ll pass and continue with the run; or, fail and do a couple of burpees. It will challenge you to go not just out of your comfort zone but way, way far from it for you will get soaked in water, sun,…

THE QUEEN’S ESCAPE

Hi! I’m Queenie Anne Gumiran, the storyteller behind The Queen’s Escape, a Philippine travel and diving blog that celebrates wanderlust, culture, and sustainability. I started this space to share stories that go beyond pristine beaches and scenic peaks — from hidden islands and local eats to my adventures in scuba diving, freediving, and sustainable travel. Through every post, I hope to inspire you to explore the Philippines meaningfully, fall in love with its underwater and island beauty while protecting them, one escape at a time.
