10 Things To Do in Coron, Palawan

Since summer is fast approaching, let me share my travel tips to Coron.

My friend and I only spent Php 10,000 for 4D/3N including the airfare. You also can!


Here's how:

1) Ride a motorbike to roam around the city.

It's cheap, Php300 for 5 hours. Not bad for a road trip!
 

You will see the hole-in-the-wall restaurants and other places not commonly featured.


2) Climb Mt. Tapyas. What is 700 steps compared to this?

360 degree view of Coron Island.

3)  Go for an island hopping. 

There are a lot of packages for island hopping in Coron. Price ranges from Php 1,500 - Php 2,000. 














4)  Have some island friends!

These are people you meet while you travel. Believe me, they will be friends after the island tour.



5) Beach bum. Be free.




6) Book a private tour, have your own itinerary & enjoy the place on your own.

Private tour = Php 2,000 for 1 boat

If you are joining a group of 4, then Php 500 each.


This is in Kayangan Lake where we spent 3 hours just staring at the clear waters.


7) Go to local restaurants and cafes. 

There are lots of local restaurants and cafes in Coron and they are more affordable compared to Boracay. 

Drinks = Php50-100
Food = Php150-250

This was in one of the local rooftop cafes in Coron. Late night chat with island friends.

8) Have fun. A lot of fun!

A trip is incomplete if you will not have fun.

This was in Twin Lagoon where we were asked to explore as a group.


9) Take a lot of good photos.

It's something you can take home forever.



10) Love the waters.

Coron has the clearest and cleanest water in the country. So, swim & snorkel. It's unlimited. 




What are you waiting for? Consider Coron this summer!

30-Day Itinerary to the US

Sharing some of the beautiful places to see in the United States. I was fortunate enough to be in the US for almost one month last April 2015. I told my boss I wanted a vacation and I wanted it sooner than later. She approved it and got myself a promo ticket from China Eastern airlines. It was less than 2 weeks prior to my departure when I got my ticket. It was a crazy last minute arrangement, a really spontaneous but such memorable trip. It was crazy as I never posted any hint of this trip. I only posted it when I was boarding to LA via Pudong. Funny how my workmates' reactions were Wow? Well, it was my #30betterdays. They knew it. I made the arrangements 1 week prior to my flight. It was holy week then. For a hotelier, 30 days of vacation is quite impossible so I made sure that I utilize every single day of it. Here's how: After landing, eat in In-n-Out Burger The famous Hollywood sign 1) Explore Hollywood City in Los Angeles. After lan...

10 New Things To Discover in Hong Kong

Image
Being in Hong Kong the second time around this year made me discover a lot of things. There are so many things to learn and find out in two weeks! I was in the city for work (training) but I made sure to have fun also. Below are some of my new discoveries that I want to share with you. You might want to discover it yourself once you find yourselves in Hong Kong soon. Here you go... 1) transportation - try their airport express train I have mentioned in my previous post how you can go around in Hong Kong via public transportation (MTR, bus, taxi, and the magic Octopus card - hehe.)  During this trip, I was able to try their airport express train. It was a comfortable ride from the airport (literally) straight to Kowloon City. It is so commuter-friendly, they have storage areas when you enter the train to keep your luggage safe and you're off to your home in Hong Kong.  Seats are comfortable and the train is neat. They have USB ports every seat ...

Why I started blogging?

Maybe some of you would ask why I started blogging? My answer is very simple, blogging is something I wished to pursue ever since but I did not have the energy and guts to start. Now that I do, what is there to stop me, right? I am intending to write more on my travel stories and tips. I will write one destination at a time and share how you can fully enjoy your future travels. Hoping it will interest or touch at least one's life because that's enough for me. I am a firm believer that life is a beautiful journey, an adventure and that life is so much more than our 9-5 jobs. It is our lives outside the office. It is a life full of stories.  So, stay tuned up as I will soon be sharing tips and stories of my most recent travels such as - Hong Kong. Expect in a couple of days or weeks, my post about my travel in Coron last year, USA in 2015, Australia in 2014, Boracay and Paris in 2013. Life is a beautiful journey!
