Siquijor, Philippines 🇵🇭

Getting here took some effort – a flight to Cebu, a tiny plane to Dumaguete, then a ferry to Siquijor. But stepping off the boat, it already felt different. The island has a mystical reputation, known for its healers and shamans. Local traditions blend animism and Catholicism, and some people still believe in love potions and protective amulets.

As soon as we arrived, we rented a scooter, dropped our backpacks at our beach bungalow, and set off to explore. The island is a mix of pristine beaches, turquoise lagoons (reminding us of Vang Vieng in Laos), and small but beautiful Spanish-era churches. Hammocks sway in the breeze, and after two weeks of barely any sleep, we’re done. Finally, a well-earned break🏝️.Leggi altro
