(This is an non-sponsored review of White Bean Cafe Naga when I visited Naga City.) There are plenty of restaurants in Naga as per my internet research, but serendipitous encounters with nice restaurants make a travel experience more memorable for me.

Also, don’t forget … Read more
Everytime I will choose to take a long bus ride instead of flying to hop from one city to another is something I always, always, regret later.

I am a lover of beautiful messes. I love the concept of The Circle Hostel Zambales where guests can creatively put vandals everywhere. Aside from the vandals, you have hammocks, conga, ukulele, bread and peanut butter, and the beautiful Liwliwa Beach nearby (the life!).
