everything i wish i could take from the islands


Breakfasts of fresh fruit.


Walkways lined with giant shells.


Memories and travel stories.


Memories and local stories.


Fruit shakes all day, every day.


Colours and trikes.


Kiosks overladen with vegetables, soaps, dried fish and spice.


Freshly machete’d coconut and afternoons on the sand.


And this exact vista, here.

    One of my regrets is that I never made it to Boracay before I left Asia….

      Boracay was definitely a lot of fun, but I’d actually recommend Palawan over it!!

    That coconut-on-the-beach photo is calling my name. I would looove to go see the Philippines! Other than the abundance of wonderful fresh fruit and fresh fruit shakes, how’s the food? And do that many people get tattoos that there has to be a specific policy about the stains they leave?

      The food was good but pricey – then again, I almost ate exclusively at touristy restaurants on beach fronts, because it was REALLY difficult to find vegetarian options at all the little local carinderias! And I felt like indulging on my holiday… ;)

    Enjoying your photos! The Philippines are where I want to go next in Asia!
