Hop-On Hop-Off bus routes in the Philippines
In case you didn’t know, the Philippines has its own Hop-On Hop-Off (HOHO) Sightseeing tour bus in several hubs around Metro Manila. As of February 2024, three out of the six planned routes are currently operational in the areas of Manila, Makati, and Pasay.

Best remote beach destinations in Luzon for your summer trips
With over 7,000 islands, the Philippines has loads of beaches to choose from. While there are many popular beach destinations that you can travel to on quick weekend getaways, there are a few more remote and secluded spots worth seeking out. I’ve always preferred quiet beaches away from the crowds where you can enjoy a quality experience. If you’re a solo traveler or introvert who just wants to enjoy a peaceful beach and get quality alone time, you probably feel the same way too.
Witnessing the release of sea turtle hatchlings in La Union
There’s something about the sunset in La Union. No matter how many times I’ve been here, walking barefoot on the sand, watching the fiery orange glow sink into the horizon, and listening to the sound of waves, it always feels like coming home after a long day.

Biking to the new Pasig River Esplanade (2024)
Last Sunday (January 21, 2024), we joined a group ride to Binondo with cycling advocacy group Firefly Brigade and went around Escolta afterwards to check out the newly opened Pasig River Esplanade. This area behind the Central Manila Post Office right next to Jones Bridge is set to be the newest tourist attraction along the river.
Food Trip: Binondo
As the world’s oldest Chinatown (established in 1594), Binondo in Manila is a well-known cultural and foodie haven. Here, you can find lots of authentic hole-in-the-wall establishments serving everything from flashy Cantonese-themed lauriat meals to homey Hokkien-style Tsinoy cooking. However, there are over 100+ restaurants in the area, so it can be quite overwhelming to decide where to eat.
British motorcycle brand BSA Gold Star arrives in PH this Feb 2024
For motorcycle aficionados, few brands have as rich and interesting history as “BSA”. Shorthand for Birmingham Small Arms Limited, the company dated to as far back as 1861. Based in the Gun Quarter, Birmingham, England, the industrial group first started out manufacturing firearms for both the military and sportsmen, but gradually diversified into bicycles, cars, buses, tools, and, eventually, motorcycles as the world transitioned to motorized transportation.
Road Trip Guide: Dingalan, Aurora
After almost two years of being stuck at home and riding only to nearby areas because of the pandemic, we decided to go on a motorcycle road trip right before Christmas last December 2021.

At the time, Dingalan in Aurora was one of the few places accepting tourists from other provinces and Metro Manila without a lot of requirements.
