A fascinating encounter with the Gentle Giants!
Last year, I was assigned to work solo around the island of Cebu. After being gone to Bantayan Island, Malapascua Island and Moal Boal, I did not let the chance pass without seeing the Genlte Giants. One weekend, I packed my bags and headed for Oslob and started the enchanting journey.
The whole experience was overwhelming! You should at least see them once in your lifetime and be amazed just like I did!
Let me share you my DIY itinerary from my trip to Oslob, Cebu.

Bangkok is perfect for those first solo budget travel trips that’s why I have chosen BKK to be my very first solo travel outside the Philippines. I was so excited! The fact that I am going to do it solo made it more exciting! I was never afraid of traveling solo. For me, it makes me know myself better.
Traveling solo in a new place takes a lot of courage especially for women travelers. The secret, for me, is researching about anything about the place before going. From the people, geography, transportation, etc. Also, learn to talk to strangers, your co-traveler. You might spot some friends for keeps! Just always be on the look of yourself. Always be careful. Shit happens when you allow it.
This trip made me realize how tiny I am in this world, I became more open-minded and had a deeper appreciation for culture. This trip inspired me to see the world and experience every bit of it.
Let me share to you some highlights and tips from my DIY trip to Bangkok and Cambodia for 7 days (March 2-8, 2014).
