I thought I’d make another post on Banaue because I think there’s lots to discuss about this small mountain town, certainly much more than just the rice terraces that the town is known for.
I’ve included here some of the other things you should do while you’re in Banaue as [...]

I wanted to write a special post just on GETTING to Banaue on the bus, because as you’re about to learn, it’s not your average bus trip.
We did a LOT of research on this trip, both online and asking various locals around Manila about getting to Banaue and we never seemed to get a clear [...]

As you will have read, Andrew and I traveled to the Philippines in June 2008 and had the most amazing 4 week adventure. From mountain villages to island retreats – we experienced it ALL and will keep the memories we made that month in our hearts forever.
It was our first real adventure holiday as a couple so there were definitely testing moments but what we learned about ourselves, our relationship and travel in general has definitely led us to the travel lifestyle we now live!
While in the Philippines we visited several island and enjoyed VERY different experiences from “roughing it” in the mountains to pure luxury on a private island resort.

I wanted to put a post together to try and provide all the information you’d need to know if you’re planning to head up to the Banaue Rice Terraces in Northern Luzon, Philippines. Amongst other reasons, the effort it takes to get there, namely, the 9 hour bus ride from Manila, means you want to get your trip right, and know what you’re getting yourself into. This post isn’t about the whole of the Banaue adventure, but specifically the rice terraces. If you’re going there to see them, you need to know what it is you stand to see.

After seeing the pictures and videos online of the Rice Terraces, one of many claimed “8th Wonders Of The World”, we knew coming to the Philippines that we had to get to Banaue to check them out for ourselves.
I’ve written about Banaue elsewhere, but I wanted to take this post to make a special post [...]

I’ve gotta be honest, Batad, in Northern Luzon, Philippines is perhaps my favorite place on earth.
And it’s not just the Batad Rice Terraces that are the highlight, it’s everything about the place, from when you arrive to when you leave. In this post I wanted to give you a rundown on the 2 days we [...]

We chose to stay at a small motel called Citadel Inn in the Makati area of the city. I thoroughly recommend the Makati area especially if you haven’t traveled in Asia before as it was by far the nicest part of Manila we came across in our trip. Makati is full of accommodation options (to suit all budgets) and close to all the malls, tourist sites and transport depots you would need for your stay!

Hi there, Elysia here!
As Andrew’s already told you, we had the most AMAZING time at Club Paradise in Palawan. Staying at Club Paradise was 5 nights of pure island paradise that we’ll remember forever!
The island is so secluded and so quiet that you can walk around the resort without [...]
