The Philippines was an adventure packed with beautiful scenery, incredible experiences and moments I'll never forget. From the busy streets of Manila to the turquoise waters and stunning islands of Palawan, it was a trip that showed me just how much there is to explore.♡

My trip started in Manila, which was busy and built-up, before I flew to Palawan and began travelling north from Puerto Princesa towards El Nido.

Along the way, we explored sea caves, went island hopping, snorkelled in clear waters and took in the amazing scenery around us. We even camped on a secluded beach and spent time playing UNO with locals — one of those simple moments that makes travelling so special.

In Port Barton, we visited a local school and headed to Starfish Island, a beautiful sandbar surrounded by crystal-clear water. It was stunning!

Then came El Nido, my favourite place in the Philippines. 🧡

The dramatic limestone cliffs, beautiful lagoons and turquoise waters were incredible. We explored lagoons by canoe, snorkelled in the open water, went zip-lining across the sea and even climbed a coconut tree!

What I loved most was the variety of experiences, from the natural beauty and island adventures to the people we met along the way. If you love exploring, being out on the water and discovering places that take your breath away, the Philippines is definitely worth considering.

For me, El Nido was the highlight!.
