Puerto Princesa, Palawan: A Return to Love, Adventure, Serenity, and Nostalgia

Love is sweeter the second time around! No, don’t get us wrong. We didn’t fight, break up, and reconciled. Rather, Sheila and I have been in this amazing relationship for two years!

Honda Bay Island Hopping: Experiencing the Splendor of Puerto Princesa’s Seas

In the Philippines, there are two things that define a classic summer: swimming at the beach and island hopping. In Puerto Princesa, you get both!
