Wandering around Cagayan de Oro at night and stumbled into this alley full of small shops, machine stalls, and late-night hustle.

No plans. No destination. Just walking, looking, and taking it all in.

This is one of the things I love most about exploring cities in the Philippines — you turn one corner and suddenly you’re in a completely different world. Raw, real, and alive.

Sometimes the best moments aren’t planned at all.

🌧 Weather Alert: Low-Pressure System Moving Across the Philippines

Just a quick heads-up for anyone currently in the Philippines — or planning to travel here soon. A low-pressure system is working its way across the central part of the country and is expected to make landfall around Monday, November 3rd.

If you’re out on the road or on the islands, keep an eye on the weather and plan accordingly. These systems can shift quickly, so check for updates and stay safe out there.

Travel smart, stay dry, and enjoy the ride 🇵🇭☀️⛅️🌧

What a Day! 🌄
Mary Rose and I spent the whole day exploring the mountains of Don Salvador Benedicto — what an incredible ride. 🏍️⛰️ The cooler air, winding roads, and waterfalls made it one of those days you just don’t forget.

We’re absolutely wiped out but so grateful for days like this. 😅❤️
Sometimes it’s not about the destination — it’s about the ride.

Hey everyone! 👋
We just wrapped up a couple of great days in Bacolod City catching some of the MassKara Festival energy and are now riding up in the Don Salvador mountains. 🌄

If anyone’s around Bacolod or Don Salvador and would like to meet up, we’d love to connect — maybe grab lunch or dinner somewhere and swap some stories. 🍛☕

Feel free to drop a comment or message — always great meeting people along the journey!

🌅 The Journey Continues


We’re still on the road, making our way to Bacolod for the MassKara Festival — and couldn’t resist sharing a few shots from a sunset in Dapitan. 🌴

What an absolute gem of a town — calm, scenic, and full of that small-town charm that’s hard to find. Moments like this make the long rides completely worth it.

Stay tuned for upcoming videos from this stretch of the trip — some incredible footage coming soon!

🙏 Quick Update — We’re All Good!

Hey everyone — just wanted to share a quick update and let you know that we’re totally fine after the earthquake this morning. We didn’t even feel it!

We actually left Cagayan de Oro (CDO) around 5:30 a.m., so we were already on the road when it hit. We’re now rolling toward Dapitan, where we’ll chill for a bit before continuing on to Bacolod for the MassKara Festival. 🏍️☀️

We did hear that the power’s still out back at the house in Butuan, but from what we’ve been told, everyone in the neighborhood is okay and there’s no major damage.

Thanks so much to everyone who’s been checking in — we really appreciate it. We’re safe, on the road, and excited for the next stretch of the trip! 🌴
