Hej przygodo!
Dlaczego musimy znowu wstawać o piątej rano? Ta pora pobudki jakoś nas prześladuje. Ustawione tury na prysznic, zamówione śniadanie, a rezerwacja miejsc w Jeepney'u zrobiona- tak, takie szczegóły mamy ogarnięte. ...

Pristine Moalboal
Het stadse leven in de filipijnen ontvlucht, zit ik ineens aan een prachtig strand met helder blauw water en spierwit zand. Het slaperige dorpje doet zacht aan, de mensen zijn vriendelijk en ik zie maar een handje vol westeners, dat hier rondloopt. ...
Boracay Rum
... is that travelling there is pretty straightforward, the places pick themselves for the most part and they follow a basic sensible route. The Philippines on the other hand looks like someone had a curry then took a shit next to Malaysia. In short it's not ...

Mindanao, seen through the eyes of a Kano.
... in that person or his story, it took me some time to find out that this is considered as an aggressive gesture in the Philippines. Being a direct person myself and used to speak my mind when it pleases me, I began to grow a little confused as I realized ...
Didn't make the top seven? Add another eighth...
... of the wonder. Another scene where words cannot describe and pictures cannot come close to capturing the magic of the Philippines. The terraces still produce a large majority of the nations fine rice, and still not a piece of heavy machinery ...
L.T.O.s and W.A.T.
Going against the grain here because this blog is meant to be about a motorcycle odyssey, but I haven't updated lately and thought I should. So, we bought a car. Either through naivety, an impulsive purchase, lack of research or all of the above, ...
Tito, Wawa Dam, Cock Pit, Special Forces, OH MY!!

To the hospital we go
I had some time off after my birthday and we were planning on traveling north in the Philippines, however my brother's activities in Thailand didn't allow that. Not as bad as you may be imagining! He crashed on a motorbike and got a bad burn on his ...
