  • A vlog from a few days alone in Boracay in the Philippines, talking about traveling solo, dealing with loneliness, getting more comfortable and eating alone. My bf also joing me at the end of the video (week 3) to join me on the final strech of my trip ❤️‍🩹

    in the UK, start up conversations will be about the weather... In the Philippines, ask about the food and we get more engaging about it! 😀 When foreigners say the word "masarap" (delicious), we'd get giddy excited to know where one's from and what else you'd love to try ❤❤

    your shorts were so addicting, so now seeing a whole video was really nice. I’m half Filipina, yet have only been to the Philippines a small kid. I miss it, and the series of traveling Southeast Asia made me really happy, and I might be going next year. this vlog is so fun!

    The first time I saw the sunset at Boracay, I literally cried. 🥺😅 We were on a sunset cruise, music was playing and the sunset was so beautiful it made me realize how endings can also be beautiful.

    The Philippines has over 7,000 Islands Boracay is just some Islands is also the most crowded. There's plenty of beaches in Philippines that are not over crowded plenty to choose.

    A tip for anyone who burns easy or just really cares about sun protection. ALWAYS put your cream on naked lol you won’t have any bits that might become visible when your clothes move and then burn.
    Try to avoid going out in the afternoon sun. I sun bath until 11am, go for lunch etc, then if I want I’ll sunbath after 3/4pm.
    Drink lots of water! It prevents you from burning if your skin is hydrated. I will put moisturiser on in the morning, let it soak in and then apply suncream. I’ll moisturise on the evening after a shower as well.
    If you want a tan do it gradual. Once you burn you have to cover up which means you miss out on tanning time. An hour in the morning and an hour in the late afternoon will give you a lovely tan.

    YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT Siargao, Philippines! It's magical and more welcoming to solo or any visitors. It's a whole new vibe that's different from any other beach in the philippines. It's also ranked best beach in the world and the surf capital for the country.

    Choosing an Italian cuisine restaurant on a south Asian trip is an interesting choice I’m not sure I would make. The most fun is to experience of all the food that’s cultural / indigenous to the region while you’re actually there!
