— Cebu, Philippines

Philippines. A country that was on my bucket list since forever! Until one night my dad tells me that he wants to fly my brother & I out to Cebu for his birthday. I have to say, it was as beautiful and exciting as I had imagined. During our short 4-day getaway, we swam with the whale sharks in Oslob, trekked up the multi-tiered Aguinid Falls, enjoyed a buffet lunch cruise over the Loboc River, drove amongst forests to see the infamous Chocolate Hills, parasailed above Dumaluan Beach on Panglao Island, sipped on endless coconuts and lots more! Definitely going back to explore all the other islands in Phils.
