    Day 85: Route Plotting – Visayas

    So far, these are the places that I’ll be visiting (roughly). First off on the map is Visayas – divided into Western, Central, and Eastern. Luckily, I have plotted the possible route for the #PHL80_23 project. Check this out! I guess that’s it for now. From Southern Leyte, I could…

    Day 84: The 6.5 Months Ahead

    Everyday is another step closer to what I’m about to do. Travel around the 80 provinces of the Philippines for 6 months with a 50,000 peso budget, about less than Php277 to spend per day which of course does not include transportation expenses etc. – Where on Earth would I…

    Day 83: Positive Reactions Are Very Encouraging

    During lunch yesterday with my friends, I opened up about my #PHL80_23 plan – I just wanted to know if I am not really that “over-the-top” with my proposed project. I expected them to say “That’s impossible, don’t do it.” but they didn’t. Instead, one even said “I’ll join you…

    Day 82: The Clash of What Ifs

    I am still in the verge of reading some books about the Philippines, and yes, some are really not that up to date. I highlighted the places that I want to go. For a 2-day 6-hour limit in each Province (that’s the initial plan) I am still doubtful if I…

    Day 81: I Don’t Want To Die Just Yet

    Fear of the unknown. It’s every person’s nightmare. Fear of death? I might raise my hand with that. Thinking about backpacking around the 80 provinces of the Philippines (solo) is already a threat to me. Combine also the risks that I will take. C’mon? Everybody should be cautious. I mean,…

    Day 80: A Project Within A Project

    Recently, while filling in the objectives and route of my #PHL80_23 project, I came to realize that there are so many things to do. Among which is research. I spent 12 hours (today) studying books about the Philippines, reading relative information in the web, and scanning through the different regions, provinces,…

    Day 79: How NOT To Be Alone

    Simple. Find someone to share a coffee, burger, and “life” stories with on a rainy afternoon. Not to mention a 3.11-mile walk along the metro. That’s very easy to do. haha. Speaking of stories, my best pal, RJ, had a lot to share too – from his planned “dreams” to…

    Day 77: Mid-Year Project Conceptualization

    It’s been 77 long and fun days of undergoing the travel basics, meeting new people along the way, learning how to “save” and itching for more adventures. It’s been such an awesome ride. I started this blog to document my preparation for a trip around the world (a 2-year process…
