I’m writing this two hours before I head to the airport for my flight to Manila, which will start my adventure to the Philippines.
I’ll be there until the 30th, with the majority of my time spent exploring the island of Palawan for island hopping, diving, snorkeling, hiking, and general tomfoolery. I think it’ll be a blast.
As an added bonus, I’ve decided to try an experiment with packing light. I’m only taking my small pack, with a very light load out of only the essentials. It should be an interesting trip.
I don’t know what sort of internet access I’ll have available while I’m on my trip, but if I don’t get to post on here during, I’ll be sure to give a trip report at the conclusion!

They have some great holiday apartments to rent too, so accommodation was never a big problem.
Pack light, roll your shirts up nice & tight to avoid creasing, and only take 3 pairs of underwear (one on, one off, one in the wash!)
So could you tell us what happened to your trip in the Philippines??.. Do you find them real friendly? Are they nice to you? One thing I’m sure about, You absolutely enjoy the beaches and the caves in Palawan. Great country it is.
I could guess from your blog that the trip to Philippines was something that you were really looking forward to!! Hope you’ll write about the Island of Palawan about which I heard quite a lot!! It is supposed to have some of the most heavenly beaches that you can find in that side of the world!! Really enjoyed watching that video on YouTube – you really have traveled light – I am sure that it must have been helpful to many other prospective travelers!!
They definitely have the friendliest people in the world! I can’t wait to step foot in Manila next semester. I got into an exchange programme.
Philippines is my favorite country. How was your trip? Did you manage to visit Manila? It’s a wonderful city.

How was the trip? I love the philippines! The people are the friendliest you will ever meet, the food is so varied and the climate is great for holidaying. They have some great holiday apartments to rent too, so accommodation was never a big problem.
2 of my best friends are from the Phillipines, and one friend was adopted from there. I love the people there!!
