Travel Photos & Musings By Nathan W. Allen
For me, there were many reasons to love Bohol…and near the top of the list, there was my experience at this resort. Definitely a gold star. In fact, of all the places I’ve traveled to, in many parts of the world, this place does service best. Follow along with my Bohol Beach Club review –...
Sohoton Cove can be found on the island of Bucas Grande, in Surigao, Philippines. To get there, you can either take a 2 hour boat ride from beautiful Siargao island, or one coming from Hayanggabon port in Surigao Del Norte. Anyhow, here’s my Sohoton Cove review…you can weigh the pros and cons for yourself. Since...
During a motorbike tour of the central Philippines, Leyte Gulf Travel and Tours invited me to experience the gem of their province – a stunning island. I had received some inside tips about the sandbar on this island, so I already knew it was a MUST SEE. Here’s my official Kalanggaman island review – Leyte,...
Siargao is a world-famous surfing paradise in the Philippines, but there is much more to the island than just surfing! In my opinion, island-hopping here is highly underrated. The common package includes Naked Island, Daku Island, and Guyam Island, though you can make a pretty epic day out of it by including the long trip to Sohoton Cave as...
I was on an epic motorbike trip around massive Leyte province in the southern Philippines. Along a peaceful, secluded coastline, far removed from the hustle and bustle of Tacloban City, lies Padre Burgos. Humble and unassuming…yet it beckons adventurous divers from around the world. I snorkeled, but joined the dive ship. A lot of fun!...
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...
I was in the Philippines during Typhoon Yolanda. I weathered the storm with a family in Legazpi, about 250kms away from the epicenter, Tacloban City. I volunteered doing repacking afterward, but at the time, was not allowed to visit the city. 3 years later, I finally got my chance. I flew to Leyte province, and...
I was on a challenging (but beautiful) motorbike ride through the massive region of Samar, Philippines. I wanted to stop by Calbayog, because I read there were 2 beautiful waterfalls in the mountains there. Bangon Falls looked pretty nice, but I was really interested in photographing majestic Tarangban further up the trail. Anyway, here’s my...
While on a trip around Romblon Island in the Philippines, I made friends with an animated Italian expat in Romblon town. He insisted that we check out a place on the southern end of the island. I’m glad we did, there were some fascinating coral reefs and underwater caves! Here’s my Agpanabat Turtle Sanctuary review…...
I’m not sure why, but somehow I always pictured Leyte as kind of boring…and flat. Instead, as my flight from Cebu prepared for landing in Tacloban, I was shocked to see beautiful, mountainous terrain out the window! Add to that coconut-tree lined white-sand beaches, and you see why my excitement really began to grow…follow along...
