Davao Weekend Getaway
Late last year, I won two roundtrip tickets to any local destination in the Philippines, after entering an online contest sponsored by Aquazorb. I then partnered with the brand earlier this year for a travel blog collaboration! Click the link below to check out the travel article I wrote about my time at the Crown Jewel of the Philippines--Davao!
Wow, Davao! Link here: http://aquazorb.com/wow-davao/
Stay tuned for my next article on Aquazorb! It will be all about Japan :)
Love,

Travel Thursday: London, Baby!
For my first Travel Thursday post, I will be cutting some corners, taking a shortcut, and reposting my blog about London from a year ago. Basically, what you'll be reading below is a copy + paste entry from my Semester at Sea blog. Ah, tricky tricky! (Or lazy, lazy...lol) But I hope you enjoy reading it! And for those of you who have already read it, I hope you enjoy reading it again. Hehehe
Given that I basically only had half a day to explore London earlier today, the challenge was to see as much of the city as I can with the energy I have left coming straight from a 24+ hour travel from the Philippines. If you know me well, you know I love my sleep. It took major effort not take a nap as soon as I reached my hotel room. It was too dangerous. I knew if I would give in, I'd be sleeping 'til the next decade. And that's not cool, because then I'd miss the whole four months at sea haha.
Just a side note: One of of my friends from Westmo, Abylay, is also going on this same voyage, yay! I am so relieved and so happy he is going on this trip, too! It makes a world of a difference when you have someone you know go through this whole new experience away from both our comfort zones. We'll be facing a whole new crowd, a drastically whole new environment, and basically a whole new semester! It's so much easier to approach people when you have a friend literally by your side, right next to you. It's not so dyahe to just come up to strangers and introduce yourself!
So anyway, a lot of other SAS voyagers started checking in to the hotel and getting themselves settled. As soon as Abylay was able to check in a room with his new friend Cody, we knew we couldn't waste any more time just hanging around the hotel. It was time to see London! A lot of the other people were still waiting on rooms to be available, so Abylay and I just went ahead and decided on our own plans. Well, we didn't have any. Haha!
We asked the hotel concierge if they had any suggestions on what good tours we could do in a day. He offered us a tour package from the hotel that costs 150 GBP which can be split up between two people, or among three or four. A driver would be hired to drive us around the main tourist attractions, and then he would just bring us back to the hotel after 4 hours. I thought it was a good deal, but only because I didn't want to do more research on tours and stuff like that! Haha. Gorabels lang ako. But then after we thought about it, we decided to just wing it and explore on our own! Maka Dora eh.

I've always wanted to go to England, ever since my two older sisters did a summer study exchange program there ten years ago! I've always thought London was such a beautiful place, judging by the many amazing photographs of the city's popular attractions printed on millions of posters, books, brochures--you name it, Big Ben's in it! Now that I'm finally here, I can't help but just be sooo thankful and excited!!
