30 Things to Do in Cebu, Philippines


The Philippines is an archipelago that is made up of more than 7000 islands located in the Southeast Asia; one of the countries with the most island in the world. This is our very first time visiting the Philippines; with so many islands to choose from, we have randomly chosen Cebu to be our first destination in the Philippines. My first impression of the Philippines was rather surprised as I could see many churches; maybe because I have been traveling around the other Southeast Asian countries and mostly what I saw was the Buddhist culture and temples. Also, unlike her neighbouring countries, the Philippines is strongly influenced by the western culture due to the long history with the Spaniards and the Americans.

Cebu is a long and narrow island located in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines, and the largest city on this island is the Cebu City, also known as the Queen City of the South. Cebu city is a booming metropolis, if you desire a break from the hustle and bustle of the city life, you should simply travel out of the city. It is not difficult to find a good place to relax in Cebu as there are plenty of beautiful beaches and untouched nature surrounding this lovely Filipino island.

Meteora: The Mystical Monasteries in the Heavens Above, Greece



Greece is a beautiful country with rich culture and history. And they are well-known for their archaeological sites, picturesque islands and exotic beaches. Most of the visitors travel to Greece for the first time will go to the popular destinations like Athens, Santorini, Mykonos and etc. In order to bring home a complete Greek experience, there is one place that everyone should include in their itinerary is none other than the mystical Meteora. The Meteora is a phenomenal place and I feel that everyone should visit this place at least once in a lifetime.

The Yellow Ancient Town of Hoi An, Vietnam



Hoi An is an ancient town located on the banks of Thu Bon River in the Central Coast of Vietnam. This picturesque town has a high concentration of well-preserved architectural monuments that are reminiscent of the olden days. Hoi An is compact in size and best explored on foot since the streets are pedestrian-friendly.

As you take a stroll through the ancient town, you will notice most of the centuries-old walls are beautifully painted with yellow color.

Why Yellow?
