Even in times when things seem bleak, these folks simply go with the flow, move on and see brighter side of every situation.

For that reason, I always carefully handpick the people joining me, whenever I explore an unheralded and relatively unknown treasure, like Laposlapos Cave in Guadalupe Mabugnao Mainit Hot Spring National Park, Carcar. And though we didn’t have a plan beforehand, I still had a swell time in Carcar City, thanks to my charming and energetic…
