aka everything I couldn't stop thinking about after leaving!

if you're planning a trip to Limasawa Island, save this for your itinerary. these were my actual favorites:

🏝️ favorite places
* Dakdak Beach Resort - crystal-clear water and white sand
* Blue Lagoon Resort - calm turquoise water and mangroves
* Ojaja and Magallanes Port - freediving spots

🏡 favorite stay
* Sailor's Cabin - clean, has fast wifi, and you can request for home cooked meals

🥾 favorite activities
* Freediving - first time trying not knowing how to swim (life-changing)
* Talking to locals - everyone knows everyone, everyone's kind (we got free grilled nokus-nokus / small squid)
* Having fun at the beach

🌅 favorite realizations
* no noise, no traffic, no constant reminders to be productive
* time moves differently here
* getting stuck in a typhoon for 2 days was somehow the best part
* sometimes the best trip is the one where you do nothing

i booked this trip before i talked myself out of it. but here's a quick guide to our canyoneering experience in case you're planning to go!

→ fee is around ₱1,000
→ zipline is a separate fee, if you want to try, it’s ₱600

tips:
→ leave cebu city early. 5–6am if you can. the earlier the better.
→ bring a dry bag and a change of clothes for the ride back.
→ wear clothes you don't mind getting completely soaked.

my camera roll after our visit in Cebu!

➿ one for the books! had a blast even if it's hot and i'm constantly sweating. cebu is a place i'll definitely visit again! i was so scared to try new things but got really happy after. the zipline and canyoneering definitely gave me the confidence to say i listened to Sheldon "it's okay to be scared. we just have to do it anyway." i did it!
