It’s a hard decision for me, nightlife or beach time. Wherever I go, the issue never seems to go away. Luckily, Siargao delivers a big-time dose of beach time and surprisingly, has decent nightlife as well! At times, this island seems to have more hotties than a Maxim mens magazine!

Everytime I leave Cebu I feel a bit sad. It’s hard to leave such a perfect place. But when my Australian mate Chris, said he was heading to Siargao and then on to Surigao Island by boat, I knew adventure was calling. We boarded a Cebu Pacific Airbus A319 and for the “outrageous” [...]

Cebu is one of my favorite cities in the world.  It’s a vibrant, sexy and fun city with good nightclubs, lots of tranquil places to relax, beautiful beaches and a few world class shopping centers. Cebu is also an international destination with a bevy of flight options available.

In my two years of world travels I’ve always had a special passion for the incredible beaches at some of these exotic locations.  Snorkeling is a sport that has always enhanced my enjoyment of the water but being able to SCUBA dive has been a desired skill I’ve put off learning for far too long.

Well in this case it really is.  If you’re looking to have fun in Colombia, then Medellin should be your top choice.  On the other hand, if you’re in the Philippines, Angeles City is where it’s at.
