• Snapshot Morocco: Still Chefchaouen

    I can’t stop saying it: Chefchaouen is really pretty. I knew it was blue, but I came prepared to be disappointed. Now that the rain has gone and the sun is out, it’s even more picturesque as we expected. The town is nestled in the Rif mountains and is not for those with weak knees.…

  • Snapshot Morocco: Chefchaouen

    It started with a picture. Cla tweeted a picture on flickr of a beautiful town bathed in blue. After a quick Googling and a look at the map, Chefchaouen was added to our itinerary. Seeing blue It was a four and a half drive north from Meknes, made slower by the rain that poured nonstop.…

  • Snapshot Morocco: Volubilis

    Our Moroccan adventure is off to a good start! Instead of staying at Casablanca (our point of entry), we hopped on the train to Fes and got off at Meknes, one of Morocco’s old imperial cities. There’s not as much tourist here, so the touts aren’t as agressive. Or maybe we’re just too oblivious. The…

  • The winners are…

    Thank you so much for everybody who joined and tried to guess my next destination! Reading your guesses was quite fun and an eye-opener as well.

  • What’s going in my bag

    A sort of spin-off my usual What’s in my Bag post because I haven’t packed yet. I’m leaving on Friday, for a trip that I’ve been looking forward to since the start of the year. I really don’t know how to pack for this destination, so I’m sticking with some tried and tested stuff, as…

  • An Unexpected Weekend at Hamilo Coast

    A phone call awakened me one Thursday morning. The details are hazy now (as with all phone calls answered, text messages and e-mails read and replied to when I’m half-awake), but I recalled being asked if I was able to go to Hamilo Coast, SM Land’s exclusive enclave in Nasugbu, Batangas. I had to decline…

  • Dinner at Zubuchon and island hopping with Islands Banca

    It was already 10pm, and I still don’t know our itinerary. The flight was at 9am the following day and while I have packed already, I still need to make sure I have everything I would need for the activities they have in store for us. As 11 o’clock roll by, our itinerary finally comes…

  • Radisson Blu Cebu
