My Travel Story

Malalison Island, Antique, Philippines. (June, 2015)


Anyone has dreamt to be traveling all over the world. It opens opportunity to discover new things, meet new faces and lets you listen to stories from different walks of life.

Traveling is fun and I enjoyed every bit of it. You may spend resources but it's really worth it.

When I was young, my parents used to bring me with them in their visitations to other places. My young mind was opened to the world and let me realize how WONDERFUL life is. :)

Today, I keep on adding places to go in my bucket list and I wish I could put a check on it as I continue my journey.

What's important is the background. Hehe. :) The pump boat ride was fun and smooth sailing. Our trip was blessed for it did not rain, hassle free and what we felt was all excitement. The boat can be rented from 700+ or more and will assist you back and forth Culasi town. We brought some breakfast meals for our lunch and thanks to Kevin for that! Malalison Island, Province of Antique Touch down. The white sand and the clear cold waters were very inviting that time and to go there after summer is a good idea. Haha...
