PHILIPPINES

Check out the highlights and lessons learned during my 2-week Philippines trip. Spoiler alert: we were very impressed by the country’s natural beauty, how nice locals were, and the incredibly low prices!

The focus of our trip was learning to dive, but we did have an amazing time trying out tons of other activities such as canyoneering and island hopping!

Places visited

In two weeks, I was able to visit two islands in the Philippines, which was just enough to scratch the surface of the many wonders these islands have to offer.

This time, we focused on exploring the islands of Cebu and Palawan. Although it is tempting to add as many islands as possible to a Philippines itinerary, it is best to stick to 1 island per week given the amount of activities available in each one of them! Also, I am a true believer that overly packed itineraries defeat the whole purpose of traveling.
