LeahTravels: My Favorite Cafes in Siargao

Hey everyone! Since we’re still stuck indoors (hoping this pandemic will end soon), I just want to share two of my favorite cafes in Siargao. I haven’t shared anything yet from my recent trip to Siargao, but I have so much stories to tell and I would like to start with this. I love everything about this island, the vibe, the people, the beaches, the beautiful resorts, the food and the cafes. I’m hoping to buy a property and live there someday. Yes, that’s how much I love Siargao.

There are so many cute cafes in the island, but these two are my favorites. They have that rustic, minimalist vibe. Both are such instagramable places and that’s not all, I have a favorite drink from each cafes too!

LeahTravels: Bantayan Island (The Most Beautiful Island in Cebu)

Hey everyone! I’m back with a new travel b/vlog! 🙂

Last February 8, Eric and I celebrated our 3rd year anniversary. We had a late celebration, but celebrated for four days from February 9-12 and went to one of the most amazing islands we’ve been to and (for me) the most beautiful island in Cebu. Welcome to Bantayan Island! We booked our flights via Airasia, hotel via Agoda, and booked at Anika Resort, Bantayan Island, Cebu. Getting to Bantayan Island took us a total of 4 hours from Mactan Cebu International Airport. It was a 3 hour drive to Hagnaya Port and a 1 hour Roro ride to the island. From the port, a van was already waiting for us to bring us to the resort. We had an amazing stay in Anika. The resort was clean, beautiful, and affordable too! We also explored some amazing places like Oboob Mangrove Park, Paradise beach and Virgin Island. Paradise beach and Virgin Island have the finest and softest sand I’ve ever felt (just thinking about it makes me miss Bantayan so much)!❤

LEAHTRAVELS: Exploring Iloilo

Last February 24-27, we travelled to one of the most historical islands here in the Philippines, Iloilo. Located in the Visayas Region, Iloilo was one of the places to visit on my bucket list because I really wanted to see historical structures and architecture like churches and old houses in the Philippines. We stayed in this simple and affordable beach resort, Bearland in Tigbauan. I super loved their huge pool which connects to the bar.

LEAHTRAVELS: MT. ULAP – A DREAM COME TRUE

Hey guys! Here’s another travel blog! But before anything else, I’d like to apologize in advance, because this blog will have a lot of photos!!! A LOT! 😛 It’s been a dream of mine to climb Mt. Ulap for as long as I can remember! It all started the first time I went trekking in Batad, Ifugao, and saw the sea of clouds over Sagada, people were talking about how beautiful Mt. Ulap was. And since you all know how fascinated I am with the clouds, I immediately researched all about Mt. Ulap, and that started my dream! I thought that if I could climb Mt. Ulap, I’d be able to touch and taste the clouds! Yes, you read it right… TASTE! And it tasted nothing! Hahaha!
