a laidback trip before going back as an OFW

august 20-21, 2012 monday-tuesday

"I travel not to go anywhere but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move." - R. L. Stevenson

Nothing much to say, I made this trip just to be reunited, have a chilling moments with Bakasyonista friends and share life beyond travel. My 1st self-proclaimed laidback and nth time get-away with them. The kite in the picture is part of my surprise plan to enjoy this laidback activity. Though We tried hard to make it fly, wind was not friendly that time. We just used it as part of our fun photoshoot for the day.

Barangay Liwliwa is part of San Felipe town, Province of Zambales. Liwliwa beach is a place for skimboarding and surfing. 

We stayed overnight in The Circle Hostel, the 1st of a chain of budget friendly eco-hostels in the Philippines. To know more about this hostel...

Sagada of Mountain Province; what makes this town fascinating

objective: to visit the best tourist spots that fits my taste and budget accordingly.

additional tasks: to experience the best spelunking adventure in the northern part.

my first time to visit this promising town upnorth and i don't even know what awaits me there. i just know its a place where there is this famous cave my friends here in my work most talk about because of the extreme adventure. of course, at first i was scared, i'm not yet that adventurous that time. i'm just a simple sight-seer who just appreciates architecture wonders through my low-tech point and shoot.

during my stay, we used a downloaded map from the web as support to the one stranger who invited us. we went there as a group, 3 ladies and 2 gents with an itinerary starting from banaue for a sight-seeing side trip along the road for the famous rice terraces. now, after that event, my intincts told me i'm unconsiously attached to this place because most of the questions in a travel forum i replied directly using only the experience i gathered. i wonder why, or maybe because of the following reasons;

01. this is my 1st get-away experience with a group i just firstly know during the event

02. the place has very chilling ambiance

03. food trips are unique and deliciously good

04. landscapes are amazing

05. people are all nice

06. there are more tourists than locals due to peace and order

07. applicable for solo backpacking though expensive

08. one of my most recommended place to unwind

09. nature adventures are just walking distance

10. adventure activity are packed in one place

11. though 12 hours of drive, roads to sagada are +1 to must see

12. very cheap but very good accommodations
