On Bohol island’s famous Alona Beach, it doesn’t get better than swanky Amorita Resort. Perched overlooking the stretch of white sand below, this is the ideal place to get that much needed rest and relaxation.

Sorsogon is the southernmost province of Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines. During my time exploring the country, my imagination always went wild when somebody mentioned this place…even the name conjures up images of sorcerers, dragons, and fairies – for me, anyway. Let’s get going with my official Sorsogon travel guide… By Nathan Allen...
