hi @Shivya! I found your message in this page real inspiring. If you come by to Philippines then come visit at Cebu. Be glad to tour with you around, coffee or tea if you like, better yet for anything fun. Namaste.
Thanks! I was in Philippines in March this year, saw Cebu just in passing. Spent most of my time in Bohol and loved it!
You’re welcome @Shivya! It’s nice to hear that you’ve been to Bohol. It’s my home. It would be exciting to catch you soon when you come back to Philippines. Let me know. Namaste.
hey hey! Any tips on travelling to Bhutan?
Your a True Traveler. I like your Blog too much Seriously Just become your Fan 🙂
Dear shivya,
I thoroughly enjoy your blog every time i read it. Was curious as to whether you have travelled to Yangon- was researching on sustainable accommodation there. Actually i have to give you credit for the change in my thought process about travelling responsibly.
Also curious, if you had a chance to visit the rest of south india- apart from kerala and karnataka.
Once again, thanks for letting us live vicariously through your travels!
Madhu
