Bohol Bee Farm

The Bohol Bee Farm gets its very own post. It’s that special. It’s really a unique place offering organic plants, food products, and locally made handicrafts. The food they serve at the restaurant as well as in the gift store is awesome. Maybe it’s the food-deprived-volunteer in me that’s raving so much but I think… Continue reading »

Sunset in Paradise

Marinduque Adventures

Beside the Moriones Festival, we explored the area a bit for some relaxation and fun. Beautiful beaches, purple starfish, gently swaying palm trees, and bat-filled caves gave our weekend the right amount of island adventures.

Sunset Surfers

This weekend I went to San Juan for an international surfing competition and of course to just chill out on the beach. Some of my local surfer friends from San Juan were competing in the competition.
