El Nido: When Travel Dreams Don’t Quite Come True
I’d been lusting over El Nido for YEARS before I finally made my way to the Philippines for a month last September. Epic sunsets over limestone karsts and boat trips to hidden lagoons and secret beaches?
Siargao For Mermaids: The Best (Aquatic) Outdoor Adventures
I already wrote about learning how to surf on Siargao, but there’s a whole lot more going on at this surf island than just hanging ten on Cloud 9 (see what I did there?).
Kalanggaman: The Most Glorious Sandbar Island In All The Land
I know I’m prone to hyperbolic descriptions of most all beaches and islands I’ve written about here, but I need you to believe me when I say that Kalanggaman Island is the most beautiful, magical, heavenly place I’ve ever stepped foot on.

Don’t get me wrong, you could do far worse than a town blessed with an endless summer.
Highlights From A Great Barrier Reef Scenic Flight
My obsession with Australia can be traced back to my college years: summers spent working in a photo lab, saving all my earnings for my year studying abroad in Sydney.
Lady Elliot Island: Best Snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef
93.6% of all tourists in Australia come to see the Great Barrier Reef.
Ok I totally made that stat up. Surely there are people who only stop in Sydney or Melbourne on their Aussie trip, or head straight to the Outback to get their bushwalk on.
