Aglicay Beach Resort, Romblon

Tablas Island is the largest of the three major islands that make up Romblon Province.  While many visitors travel via sea to Odiongan, a major port on the west central coast of the island, that can be very time-consuming. It can take anywhere from 8 to 12 hours from the Batangas Port to get to the main islands of Romblon. Thankfully, there are now direct flights from Manila to Tablas. The only airport in the entire province is located in Barangay Tugdan in the municipality of Alcantara on the eastern coast of Tablas Island.

My hometown Naga City in Camarines Sur is commonly associated with religious pilgrimage sites.

Canyoning Downstream the Blanca Aurora River in Samar

After visiting a place, the journey going back is usually pretty uneventful. Packing up your gear and heading home is usually not even worth writing about. But after visiting the stunning Pinipisakan Falls and spelunking in Sulpan Cave deep in the jungles of San Jorge, Samar, the journey going back was just as exciting. The third and last leg of our epic adventure involved riding the currents of the Blanca Aurora River downstream.

Product Review: Pertua Oil & Metal Treatment for Motorcycles

It’s been a while since I’ve gone on a good ride from the metro. Because of recent out-of-town travels, I haven’t been able to use my custom bike Fenrir much. It’s been sitting idle in the garage badly needing a tune-up. For the past month, my bike has been having problems starting and is always dying on me when I use it even for short distances, so most of the time I just use my reliable scooter if I need to go somewhere.

Travel Guide: Gili Islands, Lombok, Indonesia

The Gili Islands (or simply the Gilis) are three small islands – Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air – that lie a short distance west of Bali in Lombok, Indonesia. While Bali is world-famous for its party scene, the Gilis are becoming more popular on the radar of international travelers’ as “the next go-to destination,” because of their untouched and laid-back appeal.

Travel Tips for Motorcycle Road Trips

Earlier this year, I met Phillip / JT of MoTour Pilipinas, a motovlogger based in Laguna who aims to visit all 81 provinces of the Philippines on two wheels. For those who’ve been following my blog and Facebook page, this has also been a long term quest of mine as well and I know how challenging it can be to try and do it all by motorcycle.

He’s also vlogging all about his adventures. Video content is something I haven’t really tried doing seriously, but I can see how engaging it is for audiences compared to just writing and photos. We’ve been trading some tips on different trips through Facebook and I’ve been following his adventures on Youtube.
