When I hear S I A R G A O, I easily associate the place as the surfing capital of the Philippines. But as I have visited the place, I realized that there’s a lot more to enjoy on this magnificent island!
Little did you know, all of my trips are scheduled 6-9 months ahead of time because I’m a plane tix promo hoarder! But since last quarter of 2017 until early 2018, I haven’t personally booked any due to health reason of a loved one. I only had reservation for Boracay trip thru Air You Go (not me who booked it) with Superfriends. Unfortunately due to its closure, it was cancelled. I rerouted a tix to SIARGAO because I couldn't think of other dream destination aside from BATANES! Since I only got 1 tix, I booked my always travel partner, my babaks using my Get Go points for 8k+ points.
Why Siargao? Because.....Why Not?!
That was the most relaxing & most rejuvenating trips we ever had! We had more quality time talking, lying & sleeping in the sand, & felt the cool breeze straight from the Pacific! I mean, everything is all about the beach & we were in time for the international surfing competition! Plus, the beer & an open disco along with the strangers - locals & foreigners - made the night even more fun & memorable! And for the longest time & for the love of beaches & lagoon, I was literally sunburnt but I loved it!
