Last July, my friends and I had a surprise mountain trek at Lugsangan Peak in Mantalongon, Dalaguete, Cebu. Our original plan was to go to Osmeña Peak, which is Cebu’s highest elevation. But, my sister told us about another peak she claimed to be better than Osmeña Peak – Lugsangan (or previously known as Casino) […]
After putting this off of my itinerary, I finally found time to visit Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden today. And I’m glad that I postponed it to a day when I had more free time, because the place is enormous! The last time I went here with my friends, we were in a rush. We arrived […]
Although day tours are convenient, because of the distance and the length of the commute, it can still be tiring and draining. After two consecutive day tours, including waking up early for the pick-ups, my body caved in to sleep. In short, I woke up at 12 noon! My remaining days until I leave on […]
It’s weird for most that even though I have been to Japan several times, I have never seen Mt. Fuji yet. The truth is, I have tried to see the great mountain on my very first visit (from Hakone), but he didn’t show up. They said that Mt. Fuji is a shy mountain, showing itself […]
Another day of sleeping more than the usual because of the cold weather! I can imagine how hard it would be to actually work in Japan and wake up every morning. For today, I only have one thing on my itinerary – Yokohama! It’s a city I’ve always wanted to visit because of two anime […]
This is it, my first Spring in Japan, and my first time to travel solo! I didn’t think twice about booking a flight when I saw Cebu Pacific’s promo. I have been to Japan several times, but I have always wanted to go in the spring time, when sakura (cherry blossoms) are in full bloom. […]
To be honest, we (almost) had nothing on our itinerary. This was just going to be a “do-whatever-we-want-to-do” trip, except for one or two which Hannah wanted to visit. One of these is a store with 7 floors of anything you can put your hands on (to do creative work, I mean) – Tokyu Hands in Shibuya. […]
Tokyo is for me, what New York is for others. It’s my ideal city! There’s so many things to do, that you can’t possibly fit it all in a month! But, given the circumstances of a working adult, where you can’t really leave work that long, we have to settle with shorter trips. I am […]
Have you ever had a hard time tracking your travel budget and expenses, especially when you travel in groups? I have created a very simple Travel Expense Tracker that automatically does this for you. The tracker is saved on Google Sheets so you and your travel buddies can access and update this at the same […]
The application for a Japan Tourist Visa is not as difficult as let’s say, applying for a US Visa. Everything is coursed through an agency, and there’s no need for personal appearance (with the Embassy). Japan has relaxed the requirements for Filipinos to encourage tourists to visit their country. Traveling to Japan is at its […]
