Elal Lasola Travel & Photography: 6/1/13

The Circle Hostel La Union

Girls' Quarter

I've never been to La Union and never experienced being in a hostel before. So, I was excited to try these two firsts with a group of travel bloggers last June 1 at San Juan, La Union. The weekend's plan is to have a bloggers weekend of games, yoga, food-trip, booze, snorkeling and surfing. Unfortunately, the waves weren't high enough for us to surf during that time. Nevertheless, we were able to do other stuff like star gazing, watching a moon rise, food trip at Urbiztondo Grill House, Kahuna Restaurant and Happy Tummy, and dining with tour at the famous and elegant, Thunderbird Resort.

Tuguegarao | Villa Blanca Hotel

Villa Blanca Hotel in Tuguegarao

Arriving at Tuguegarao after thirteen hours on the bus, we immediately checked in at Villa Blanca Hotel to freshen up to take our lunch and prepare for the afternoon tour. Unlike most hotels which are located in the city center, Villa Blanca is located a few meters from the main road of Tuguegarao. Good thing, there was a hotel shuttle from the bus terminal.

My Favorite Pinoy Travel Bloggers

To pick a few from my long list of favorite travel bloggers is probably one of the hardest list I have ever made. It reminds me when I was about to choose my best travel photos before. Not that I have lots of "best" but, still, it was difficult to choose a few from loads of choices. I mean, really, how do you rank hundreds of travel bloggers when there are so many great bloggers out there - old and new - that I follow and discover? So instead of rating them all, I'd simply jot down the ones that influenced me the most. Here it goes!
