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

Let’s face it, the rainy days can very often curb our enthusiasm for exploration and adventure. But for a wide-eyed traveler like me, there’s nothing – even a bad weather – that can stop us from seeing the beauty of the planet. And when you pair that enthusiastic wanderer with a bunch of like-minded open-minded people, you’ve got a fine recipe for adventure.

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.

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…
For anyone who’s felt a little lost or tired.
