I am a Filipino who is very fond of travelling, and aside from spare clothes, money, food, a camera, and a curious spirit, I also bring along some superstitious beliefs with me during my travels. I don’t strongly assert that I strictly follow superstitions, but it just became a part of my life because of [...]

Whoever said that book lovers don’t travel, or travelers don’t give a minute of their time to read a book? Stereo-typical, right?

Nestled in the Saint Paul Mountain Range of Puerto Princesa island is the Underground River, reputed to be the longest navigable underground river and now a finalist in the new 7 Wonders of the World.
