Taal Volcano Island Experience

Taal Volcano Crater Lake

Situated in Batangas is a volcano island within a lake, Taal Volcano Island. Taal Volcano is the smallest active volcano in the world. An adventure to this unique geological wonder is one thing you shouldn't miss. 

From Manila, take a bus going to Tagaytay. When in Tagaytay there are a lot of tricycles that will take you to the starting point of the adventure in Talisay, Batangas. To reach Taal Volcano island, you have to traverse Taal Volcano Lake through a boat.

Taal Lake was once part of the ocean. It was an arm of Balayan Bay which opens to the South China Sea. Volcanologists record series of eruptions since 18th century. There were once many towns on the lake's shore but are uninhabited today because of destructive volcanic hotspots.

Getting to the crater lake was an adventure itself. You may go for a horseback riding to reach to the top for a fee. You don't have to be an experienced horseback rider because the fee already includes a guide. If you can't go horseback riding, you may choose to trek going to its caldera. Along the way, you can view highlands and hills with Taal Lake as the background. 

The exhaustion and scorching heat is worth it when you see Taal volcano's crater for its breathtaking scenery. Joel Achenbach of Washington post said that Taal has erupted more than 30 times during the course of five centuries and it has a geological history similar to the crater lake in Oregon United States.

Let me share with you this awesome episode from Rock the Park youtube channel about Oregon crater lake.

Dining in at Gustoso Pizza Shop

When I am in my hometown  Gustoso pizza and pasta serves its customers with authentic pasta dishes.  A pinch of bite of their carbonara, spaghetti, and benne is flavorful. Their boxes of delightful pizza flavors vary. I am loyal to their Hawaiian pizza.  For those who want a decent meal I must say that their pork chicken dishes are satisfying. It's atmosphere is nostalgic. Dining in with friends is fun. Taking pictures of our food is happiness. When I am in our province, I sleep before 10:00pm. The environment is not stressful unlike the big challenge of the city life which is the long commute because of traffic. I care about my mental health so I am taking it into consideration living in one of the municipalities of South Cebu cause I get close to nature. Nature gives us hope that no matter how heavy our problems reading a book in any genre beside a living plant on a coast gives us a positive outlook in life.  Depression can hit people whether they like it or not i...

Short weekend getaway in Samal Island

Samal island is one of the favorite tourist attractions in the Philippines. I have known since I was a kid that Davao City takes it pride in producing durian fruits and candies. Francisco Bangoy International Airport is domestically accessible within key cities of Manila, Clark, Palawan, Caticlan, Iloilo, Cebu, Bacolod or Zamboanga.  Davao City is the safest metropolis in the country and the gateway to other beautiful destinations in the land of promise. In Magsaysay Park, you can buy durian, pomelo, mangosteen and marang. My message to UP students is to stop spreading rumors and nonsense memes that lead nowhere for wellness sake.  durian park There are available tour packages if you want to view the breathtaking scenic overview of Mt.Apo and revisit our country's history. It is the 24th highest peak on Earth, also known as the father of Philippine mountains. A merry park to visit in Davao City is Camp William. You can also visit People's park and the Davao City Museum.  ...
