We embarked on a short trip to the country’s favored Palawan island. During this trip, we explored places not yet frequented by tourists and took our time enjoying the wonders of nature.

Western Canada Pt. 4: Jasper (September 2017)

Part 4 out of 6.  Read about the rest of my Canada trip HERE.  WINTER VILLAGE     COLUMBIA ICEFIELDS I’m glad we decided to skip the super-touristy Glacier Walk as strolling along the icefields was much more of an experience. It was like walking in a painting, an aesthetic delight from every angle, where people appeared in tiny colored blots against gigantic strokes of grey and … Continue reading Western Canada Pt. 4: Jasper (September 2017)
