Boracay is finally back to business. After 6 months of anxiously waiting, I was among the many who were very
excited to see and experience the new Boracay, or what they call Boracay 2.0. So what are the changes? I'll answer that in my upcoming vlog but before that, let me share with you my experience in staying in one of the best accommodations in the island.

Boracay is finally open again to public on October 2018 after it was closed for 6 months for rehabilitation and restoration. Along with the opening of Boracay come new and stricter rules and regulations to ensure cleanliness and preserve the natural beauty of this paradise island. Among the new rules include regulating the number of tourists that enter the island and allowing only certain establishments to operate - those that have complied to the requirements of the government.
So you’re heading to Oz for your next vacation? Sounds very good, you’re in for a really great time. While there will always be enough to create a lasting impression in your heart, it always makes sense to get yourself prepared for what’s coming.
Malaysia is perhaps the most underrated country in Asia. It’s not
something you would often find in somebody’s bucket list. Travelers
would rather go to cities like Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Taiwan rather
than Kuala Lumpur—whether it’s because of food, nightlife, or simply
getting immersed in the city life. But if you look more closely and be
more open-minded, you will find a hidden gem that has a rich culture,
remarkable food, and diverse, fascinating people.
Malling has been a big part of Filipino culture--no wonder some of the largest shopping malls in the world are found in the Philippines. Thanks to mall owners such as SM Supermalls for bringing malling experience closer to more Filipinos by building an SM mall in almost every city in the archipelago.

Comfort is always my top priority when traveling. From backpack and travel gears to clothes and footwear, I'd wear and pack light for comfort and convenience. Whether heading to the beach or hiking up the mountain, I'd prefer to wear slippers or sandals while traveling locally. With a tropical climate like the Philippines, I like the feeling of wearing something lightweight, open and easy to dry if getting wet. But aside from comfort, you want to wear a pair of sandals that's stylish and would look good with your summer outfit, right?

Cebu is widely considered as the cultural hub of the Philippines’ Central Visayas region. The province is home to the port city of Cebu, an economic area of urban growth that still retains remnants of its colonial and pre-colonial past and is surrounded by some of the most gorgeous natural tropical surroundings you’ll see in your life.
