Agreed, it’s a really interesting and diverse country with so much to offer travelers. I can’t wait to go back someday!

I absolutely think Manila has the worst airport in the world and I believe it was voted as the worst for the longest time. Manila is nice, but very touristy which a large city, the food is great there with tons of different cultures. Manila is a pretty dirty city, but areas like Cebu, Borocay, Palawan and Camiguin Island makes up for it with their gorgeous beaches. The Philippines was a real eye opener the first time I arrived, much different than what I pictured but there are their upsides and downsides to traveling there.

I enjoyed reading it and I’m really glad I stumbled upon it. I was once in Manila too but it was for a short stay due to a business trip. Reading this makes me wish I had stay longer to savour it. I also wrote a post about Manila. Here it is: https://tripandtravelblog.com/what-to-see-in-manila-philippines/ I know it’s not nearly as good but I tried. I’m just so fascinated by Manila!
Greetings from Athens!

Well honestly, Manila is a massive, densely populated and dirty city 🙂 But there are also charming bits, and I really enjoyed exploring them!

I love it when I read about destinations on your blog that I never really considered traveling to before, and then badly wanting to go. Thanks! 🙂

I was SO gutted by the situation, but I was shocked by how many people recounted the exact same experience in different locations around the world! While I felt a tad guilty about finding pleasure in others’ pain…. it did make me feel a bit better 🙂

Thanks Sally! I knew the Philippines was off the backpacker trail but I was still surprised by how few fellow vagabonds I encountered! I’m definitely looking forward to sharing what I learned… some were hard-earned lessons!

Aw, thanks Laryssa! I was a bit overwhelmed by Manila, as I think I conveyed here… so just focusing on seeing it through a camera lens was actually quite nice 🙂
