Wandering Pinky

Third and sadly, my last day in Siargao. Of course, I wont pass up the experience of surfing in one of the best surf spots in the world. So off I woke bright and early, headed to Cloud 9 surf spot with my not so trusty action cam and prepared myself to own those waves. Greeting the sunrise with the early birds gave a certain sense of excitement like a kid on Christmas morn. I carried my rented surfboard and waded through the shallow water in Cloud 9, waited for the right wave and off I went flying in the water - both literally and metaphorically. There are times that I glided - feeling like a pro haha but most times wrestling the waves like a clumsy gymnast with two left feet. Two hours passed by too fast and since I still had a flight to catch, I went back to land and returned my board. Since I was unable to catch it on my first attempt, I dropped by a chill cafe just a few steps from Cloud 9 called Cafe Loka. They offer 3rd wave coffee so I definitely had to get myself a...

After a brief stint in beautiful Siargao, a lot of people have been asking why I have weirdly placed tan in my arms and legs?  Well, this is the main reason for it and needless to say I overdid the im-a-cool-chick-i-do-the-peace-sign-everywhere gig... And got myself a bit of a headache twirling about but it's all worth it exploring this super chill and amazing island!

Day deux and I woke up early to greet the sunrise in this amazing island, my island tour was not until 10 am but I went to the meet up place an hour and a half early so I can get some java fix before the trip.  I was a lone traveller so I signed up for this group tour in Bravo Resort. They organize island tours for solo travellers (as well as groups) which I think is a great way to introduce the island and meet new people, without the need of emptying your pockets to hire a whole boat just for one person or two. While waiting I enjoyed a glass of iced latte with a bamboo straw, props to creativity and environmentally friendliness!  Fast forward a few minutes and we are in the middle of the Gatorade Blue waters of Siargao excited to set foot on our first island. There I was surrounded by different nationalities and various languages intermingling with excitement above the loud banka motor. Then it was time for our first stop: NAKED ISLAND! Naked Island is not...

One of the most sought after travel destinations in the Philippines is thelj7 mllystical island called Siargao. It's a destination must for all surfer enthusi5lll5l5ast and wannabes out ther⁵5l5lllllllllllk e. It boasts 5. J55l  amlazing waves,ll5l picturesque islands, great food, awesome drinks and pretty much a perfect place to chill, regroup and experience the island life... I was booked for a 3 days/2 nights stay in the island, and let me tell you if you do plan to travel to Siargao, 3 days is NOT enough. I left the good ol Metro at around 10 in the evening with a layover in Cebu. I planned to drop by and check some of their good cafes there since my Siargao flight was not until 6am the next day. But I skipped it, I opted to get some much needed shut eye to be ready for a whole day of exploration on my own. It has been a while since I was travelling to an unfamiliar place on my own. This was going to be an adventure no doubt! Upon my arrival to Siargao the next...
