Go With Shane is about real travel experiences across the Philippines, Asia, and beyond.

I explore places the way I actually experience them — from hidden beaches, island escapes and road trips to resorts, hotels, local food, cities and unexpected destinations. You’ll see what these places really look like, what the journey feels like, and whether they’re worth your time.

Expect travel across the Philippines, Japan, China, Southeast Asia and other destinations around the world, with a focus on authentic experiences, beautiful places, affordable trips and destinations you may not have heard of before.

No overcomplicated travel guides — just genuine exploration, useful observations and the experience of being there.

Come travel with me. Go With Shane. 🌏✈️🇵🇭

The roast beef wasn’t the winner… the CHORIZO was! 🏆🤤

I finally tried Dayrit’s, a classic spot from the ’80s. We ordered the roast beef plate, short order and sandwich—but the tenderness was inconsistent. The plate was tough, while the sandwich was surprisingly the most tender.

The real surprise was their chorizo! It was so good that we bought a frozen pack to take home.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5

I’ll go back to try more of their menu. What should I order next? 👇

Dreaming of Japan? 🇯🇵 Here’s how I got my VISA approved.

To my Filipino subscribers who dream of visiting Japan—this is for you! I've been to Japan 3x now, and I can honestly say it changes your perspective on what peaceful living really is.
Many of you ask how I got my Visa. In my experience, it’s actually easy if you follow this checklist:

1️⃣ Travel History: Visit visa-free countries first (SEA, HK, Taiwan). Important: Make sure you have never overstayed.

2️⃣ Work Docs: If you’re employed, secure your COE and ITR. These are huge "pogi points" for the embassy!

3️⃣ Bank Balance: Aim for at least 100k PHP in your account.

4️⃣ Flights & Hotel: Have your round-trip tickets and hotel bookings ready.

5️⃣ Social Media: Set your FB/IG to public! Show them you are a genuine travelaholic/vlogger.

6️⃣ Agency: Apply through a reputable, accredited agency.
That’s it! You will be flying to Japan in no time

✈️ Question for you guys: If you could visit one city in Japan, would it be Tokyo, Osaka, or somewhere else? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Morning Sun Eatery: ★★★☆☆ naimas idtoy apo!
Finally an Ilocano restaurant getting worldwide recognition! This eatery is our go-to place whenever we are in Proj. 4 because their food is authentically Ilocano. They offer great grilled meats (like BBQ, bulaklak, dugo, and isaw)—I love the flavors, especially drenched in Ilocano vinegar; it's perfect. They also serve essential Ilocano favorites like Papaitan, Sinanglao, and Dinakdakan, all featuring goat meat, which is a staple in Ilocano cuisine.

I have mixed feelings about their recognition in the Michelin Guide. I'm proud that Ilocano food is finally recognized (Michelin really needs to explore the Ilocos region, especially Norte!), but I'm also sad because now I have to wait in line for at least 30 minutes to eat at Morning Sun. #MichelinGuide #philippinestravel #pinoyfoodcravings #ilocanofood #ilocano

​★★★★☆
​This Pancake House on Opal St., Ortigas is a fantastic branch! The fact that it's open 24/7 is incredibly convenient. The food quality is consistently good and well-maintained, and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend trying their Fried Chicken and the French Toast—they are my absolute favorites. While the pricing is a little steep compared to the type of food served, the overall experience makes it a solid choice.

Imagine escaping to a small, private island where the only rush hour is the slow, majestic flight of a sea eagle overhead. Welcome to Pandan Island off the coast of Sablayan—your personal piece of tropical serenity in Occidental Mindoro.


This is not a crowded luxury hotel; it is an authentic, eco-friendly sanctuary that preserves the virgin beauty of the Philippines. Here, the resort blends into the landscape, featuring charming native cottages nestled directly beneath swaying palms, just steps from the shore.


The Invitation to Experience Pure Nature:


Wake Up: Let the sunlight filter through your bamboo walls and the sounds of a natural bird sanctuary be your morning alarm. There is no TV, no traffic—only the gentle rhythm of the waves.


Wade In: The waters are a brilliant turquoise that beckons you to dive in. Grab a snorkel and you don't need a boat trip to find magic; Pandan's house reef is often visited by Green Sea Turtles (Pawikan), allowing you to swim alongside these gentle giants right off the main beach.


Go Deeper: As the premier jump-off point for the world-famous Apo Reef, Pandan Island invites divers and snorkelers to explore an underwater cathedral of unparalleled coral gardens and diverse marine life.


Unwind Completely: Spend your afternoons suspended in a hammock, sipping a fresh fruit shake, or watching the sunset paint the sky over the West Philippine Sea. Life here is simple, personal, and profoundly peaceful.


If your soul craves a genuine retreat—a place where you can feel the soft, golden sand between your toes and disconnect from the modern world—Pandan Island is waiting for you. It's the simple life, perfected. #Philippines #island #islandvibes #paradiseresort #relaxing
