There are a lot of rivers in the Philippines. Some are swimmable, other too wild. Some are all over Google because they are famous and well visited, others are hidden. Almost all of them are used for washing, either clothes or people. They are seldom used for transportation, for they run wild. Although….in some places not so wild anymore. Since canalisation of river beds is happening all over the place to prevent flooding. I took some photos of rivers on…
Many Governments issued a negative travel-advice for the Philippines after the so called Bohol Incident. And a lot of people wonder if it is safe to travel to the Philippines or to live there.

So no worries right? I’m scared shit for the dentist, to put it mildly. I always feel I’m at the wrong end of the drill. So for me to go to a dentist is a nerve wrecking, exhausting experience….
It is just a short walk from my temporary home to Robinsons Place in Dumaguete City. As I walk through the suburbs you can join me on my walk and discover how that feels like and what you get to see. From sleeping tricycle drivers to local eateries, it is all there, the Philippines to the max. Enjoy the walk:
A nomadic life, like mine is fun. But my backpack is heavy and I’m not the youngest in the gourp digital nomads, so I’ve decided to rent myself a little house to leave some stuff behind and travel with a daypack instead.
