    The Unplanned Voyage To Busay Holiday Pools

    The Eternal Pursuit Of Wonder In San Fernando, Cebu

    The eternal pursuit of wonder… began on a hill. It began the day when we saw a thick blanket of fog rolling over the mountainside of San Fernando, Cebu. As the crisp cool breeze brushed past me, I could hear Mother Nature herself whispering gently words to my ears. “A chain of adventures is coming”, she said.
