August 5-9, 2012
- this trip is astonishing because during this time while luzon was in continous saga of heavy rains, eastern mindanao (davao oriental, surigao del sur, surigao del norte) experienced an excellent weather condition. not only that, eastern mindanao has the most stabilized peace and order comparing to all my solo backpacking in Philippines.

- this trip is astonishing because el nido is one of the best beaches in the world in accordance to CNN 2012 report. This is my 1st time to visit and share this remarkable experience with family, what a boat ride and island hopping indeed.

January 2012 onwards3rd: Kuwait (3rd country as an OFW)
- this trip is astonishing because this is my 3rd country to stay as home for my OFW career path. without being here, I can never pursue my dream to explore further the other parts of the world.

- this trip is astonishing because of the peace and order situation wherein Lebanon is the closest land-lock country for Syria. Knowing this and equipped with my experience in Basilan, I challenged this status. Again, it was just trial by publicity, Lebanon is 100% safe for all tourist during that time
1st: Egypt (5-days solo backpacking on eid season)
1st: Egypt (5-days solo backpacking on eid season)
October 25-30, 2012
- this trip is astonishing because Egypt has the most aggressive touts on all most-visited country by tourist in the world. Not only that, during that time, Egypt experienced the aftermath of ousting their former leader and the election fever. Furthermore, the effect of Eid season for a solo do-it-yourself budget backpacker made the trip more adventurous.
