Philippines

This photo essay sums up my travels through the Philippines – enjoy my favorite pictures from the place that turned out to become one of my favorite Asian countries!

Siquijor had not been in my original plans for the Philippines, but I am so glad that I ended up there – this island paradise became one of my favorite places in the Philippines!

Swimming with sea turtles is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done – and in Apo Island in the Philippines, there are so many of them! Read all about my snorkeling adventure.

Palawan was the last stop on my Philiippines island hopping adventure and I couldn’t have chosen a better place for the grand finale than the world’s most beautiful island!

Read more about my time in Palawan and all the practical information you might want to know before a trip to El Nido – how to get there, where to stay, where to eat, what to do.

Going to Bohol meant quite a detour, but I couldn’t NOT visit the Philippine’s 10th biggest island- there were tarsiers to be seen and Chocolate Hills to be climbed!

Bohol was the only island in the Philippines that I visited NOT for beaches and snorkeling, but for wildlife (tarsiers!) and the natural wonder of the Chocolate Hills.

As it turned out, I had saved the best for last: El Nido, my last stop on my island hopping trip through the Philippines, turned out to be absolutely stunning.

I am looking back on my travels over the past four weeks, what went well and what didn’t, lessons I’ve learned this month, what’s new with Globetrottergirls and what’s next for me.

Even though it was different from what I had expected, Boracay turned out to be the paradise I was hoping for – the days spent at the glorious White Beach, the nights spent dancing!
