Hong Kong is a popular tourist destination among Filipinos because of visa-free privilege that we enjoy.

The beach in Fish Hoek area is clean and entrance is free which is great for budget travelers. The mountains are immediately beside the beach which makes a great view at any time of the day. I also noticed that there’s not much people unlike the popular beaches that we have back home. I easily noticed that there are no vendors who will harass you to purchase unnecessary items while you are in the mood for relaxation and silence. In other words, this place is a real getaway from the crowd and noise.
Hermanus is a small town in Western Cape province. A motorcylce ride from Cape Town means passing by through a wonderful scenery of mountains and of seas. It is about three hours ride depending if your GPS directs you into the right direction or not.
My trip to a certain place isn’t complete without walking randomly and stumbling upon interesting things. Cape Town is known as the Mother City among South Africans.

Seoul is a vibrant city and spending a week here is so easy that you don’t have to worry about running out of things to do. A night in Hongdae is a good idea if you want to witness the youthfulness of Korea. The nearest subway station is Hongik University along the green line.
Seoul is a mountainous city. You can easily find out that walking in many areas can be a challenge. This is especially true if your mission in Seoul is to go shopping. You don’t want to carry all your stuff while maneuvering a steep climb.
