Like an enchanter, the picture-perfect sea was calling us, luring us with its sheer majesty.  For a while, I felt like I was under its spell, mesmerized by its irresistible tropical grandeur.

    Tinuy-an Falls And Enchanted River:  I’m Addicted To Surigao del Sur

    Please don’t judge me. For the first time ever, I’m going to unveil one of my deepest secrets. I admit – I’m an addict. I’m addicted to exploring and seeing places that inspire creativity.
