Whaleshark Adventure in Donsol
People have always told me to go to Donsol to see the whalesharks (butanding) as it is an out-of-this-world to actually swim beside the gentle giants. As my friend who lives in Bicol invited us to go there last month, I gladly accepted the invitation.

Banaue Rice Terraces

Day Trips with The Biking Dutchman, Quito, Ecuador
Quite simply, for me, the prospect of biking around Ecuador is intimidating. The roads here are steep and crowded with traffic. The terrain that can be covered, Cotopaxi, Otavalo, and Pichincha Volcanoes, have elements that I wouldn’t be comfortable covering by myself. I have met those …
