The Sticky Waterfalls Will Make You Feel Like Spiderman
File this under: “You have to see it to believe it.” Nam Tok Bua Tong, a.k.a. The Sticky Waterfalls, topped my personal list of things to do in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We hired a driver and his songthaew for ฿1,000 (divided by six of us, so that’s ฿200 per person). He took us to the […]
Villa Escudero Day Trip Guide
Right off the boundary of Quezon and Laguna province is Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort, a favorite destination of the balikbayan (a Filipino visiting or returning to the Philippines after a period of living in another country). It’s a two- to three-hour drive from Manila or Cavite, and I visited the place for the first […]
Badian Canyoneering For Scaredy-Cats
Confession: I’m scared of heights. I may have all those Instagram posts where I’m perching on a mountain peak, rappelling down a cliff, and crossing a hanging bridge, but it took a lot of screaming and soliloquies before I actually did it.

[Video] Maynuba Circuit and The 8 Waterfalls
It’s been over two months since I last climbed a mountain. As I prep for my upcoming climb (Clue: They call it the human spiderweb), let’s take a look back at my last feat—the Mt. Maynuba Circuit. Here’s a short video I made using clips from some of my fellow climbers. Date of climb: September […]
8 Waterfalls in 1 Day
Even if mountaineer experts gave the Maynuba Circuit a difficulty rating of 4/10, I found it easier to hike than Mt. Maculot, which is a 3/10. I have two theories—either I’m becoming better at climbing, or perhaps cooling down in eight waterfalls make my hike more bearable. There are three main things you may explore […]
