    Katampuko Peak: Hiking The Less-Explored Side Of Dalaguete, Cebu

    With powerful gust, overcast skies and murky streams, the wet season is usually the time when our inner wanderer takes a breather.

    Mount Tagaytay: A Picture-Perfect Peak With Awe-Inspiring Panoramas

    It’s official – I’m madly and deeply in love with Barangay General Climaco. For the past couple of months, this remote barangay in Toledo city has been sweeping me off my feet with its eccentricities, unique beauty, mystical feel, and charms. And just when I thought I’ve seen the best of it, the place unveiled yet another natural wonder that took my breath away – Mount Tagaytay. Although I’ve seen a bunch of pictures of this photogenic mountain, it was in awe, when I saw Mount Tagaytay with my own eyes. Our visit to Mount Tagaytay was, for me, the ultimate way to end a day full of giggles, fun…
