Back then, the Filipino society had no clue about introversion, and was bought into unflattering introvert stereotypes.

From Sea To Summit: A One-of-a-kind South Cebu Trip

Lataban Hills: Liloan, Cebu’s Instagrammable Chocolate Hills
I’m an unstoppable freight train, whenever my adventurous spirit awakens. Once I set my sights on a destination or attraction, I rarely take off my eyes on the prize. With a can-do drive and an insatiable sense of wanderlust, I step on the gas, and just do whatever it takes to get to the place that I want to go. Even in remote and relatively unknown places like Lataban Hills, I always find ways to set foot on my next target. But, as of late, I’ve been a little off with the budget and time estimations in my trips. This year, my life has been, so far, an endless parade…
