Travel Photos & Musings By Nathan W. Allen
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,...
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!...
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...
Of all the incredible places I’ve explored in the Philippines, people might be surprised to learn that Romblon Island almost tops the list. After all, you don’t hear too much about this place.

Second, it’s not so developed…and while it’s great to get off the well-worn tourist path, the roads are pretty rough. Third, it was the start of the rainy season. However, the landscapes are...

Ironically, the long way is actually shorter in distance, and much more direct. However, the road is...
The following is my Tapik beach park review. It’s one of 3 or 4 accommodations I stopped at during my epic motorcycle trip around Palawan.

My Qi Palawan Resort review…I stopped here on an unforgettable trip around the island. This is a particularly adventurous story! Words & Photos By Nathan Allen The Ride of a Lifetime: Pt. 6 I’ll never forget the very surreal experience of how I arrived at Qi Palawan Resort. I was on a mission to ride...
The following is my review of Long Beach, San Vicente, a beautiful stop along my tour of Palawan. Words & Photos By Nathan Allen The Ride of a Lifetime: Chapter 4 My next stop was San Vicente’s “Long Beach” to the north–the longest stretch of white-sand beach in the Philippines. 14kms, I believe. However, getting there...
