Wandering Pinky

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...

Food parks are everywhere! It's like they're popping in every corner of the metro. It's a fun and hip place to go meet up with friends and bond with your family, though personally I think that this is just one of those foodie fads that will fade in time. Entering a new food park emits a certain sense of excitement and wonder, people are eager to explore a cool and instagrammable spot, enjoy a lovely 'party' atmosphere with friends, and best of all discover new food finds from all types of cuisine. This is very popular with the millenial crowd and fooling ourselves to think we were part of that generation, my friends and I decided to check the latest place where foodparks were in abundance - MARIKINA.  First stop: Crave Park Swag points: 4 dabs out of 5   This might be one of the best in the metro so far, all cool points have been ticked from its instagrammable murals to the fusion food and bucket drinks they offer. The only downside is the customer to ...
