one of my new years resolution is to make sure I'd be travelling a lot in my own country and going to provinces and places I've never been too.
i was born and grew up in the City of Manila so the only places I've been are the provinces in the north and south of Manila. but I've never flown a plane to other places. so this february, since its our 6th year anniversary, my fiancee and i will fly to Puerto Princesa, Palawan and will tour the city and one of the finalist in the wonders of the world, the underground river cave. and we'll also go on an island hopping adventure.i hope to enjoy the rest of my vacation in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
Any places you've wanted to go to in your home country but haven't gone to yet? please do share.

I would love to go on an island hopping and snorkeling in the Philippines. I hope that you will have a wonderful time in beautiful Palawan. I have seen photos of that beautiful island and would adore a trip there.
I always rush off overseas instead of seeing some of my home country. I do fancy going up to the Yorkshire Coast to see Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hood Bay. Three years ago I surprised myself with a trip to Northumberland. I stayed in Sea Houses and went out for days to a castle, a village and a special garden with a tree house.

Your country is quite big and i believe alot of your own people hasn't been around to much of the country yet. Philippines is nice country with lots of nice people. I would love to visit there one day, have good fun, and visit the same places u've been. It's too bad my country is too small, and though there are alot of attractions coming up, price is always a problem.

I live in the United States, and I live in the eastern portion of the country, so there are a lot of places to the west of where I live that I've never had the opportunity to visit. I would really like to have the opportunity to visit both Hawaii and Alaska at some point and I would also like to visit California at some point as well. However, because of the fact that the children are still young and we don't have a lot of money we really aren't able to travel right now.

I really really like to go to Batanes but the airfare is still high... hahaha...We are waiting for the right time for the promo. And I hope that right time means bright sunny days only not typhoons or super typhoons...hahaha... I really like to see the famous old stone houses of Batanes and the rolling hills everywhere you look. Also, I like to see those isolated beaches enclosed by cliffs and the crashing waves that hit those cliffs. They say it seems you have been teleported back in time when you stay in Batanes and based from the pictures I saw, it certainly seems like it. I wish I can stay there for 1 or 2 weeks. hehehe...

Hi! I would also love to travel around the Philippines. A lot of people like to travel abroad. I like that too, but I feel that it is important to travel around your own country first as much as possible. The Philippines is a beautiful archipelago and very rich in natural resources. I want to go to Palawan, too. In fact, I have just talked to my friends and had a chat about visiting the place. Aside from Palawan, I want to travel to Cebu, Camarines Sur, Bohol, Pagudpud.

Well, the U.S. is a large country, and I've not made it to a number of places.
This year I would like to go to Kansas, a state I haven't made it to before. Haven't been to Nebraska or the Dakotas either. Never made it to New England or Florida either.

Puerta Princesa,Is one of the places that you'll really fall inlove with. I'm 22 years all and travelling has always been my passion. Due to time, money and everything else I don't have time to go out and just have some fun. I've been doing that for the last couple of years. Going out of town but I've never rode a plane before. I'm planning to have a vacation this year as well. I hope you get us posted on your Palwan escapade. You will never know I might get engaged too and get to have a vacation in that haven.

While I was in college, I traveled a lot of places in my country. I was born in Beijing, capital of China. I traveled to the Sichuan province, Yunnan province, Shanxi province, Guizhou province, Hunan province and Guangxi province. A lot right? Every winter break and summer holidays I was traveling. I like traveling because I want to experience different cultures and meet different people, I can also enjoy myself in the beautiful nature. If you get a chance to China, I highly recommend you travel to Yunnan province, there are wonderful nature views and near 21 kinds of minorities. There is also small town called Lijiang that is included in the World Heritage.
