Go North!: 5 Sights and Adventures that Make New York an Outstanding State to Visit

Getting bored in New York is pretty much unheard of. From fabulous sightseeing opportunities, to top-class cuisine and urban entertainment, this city is one of the primary destinations your trip should be structured around. But what exactly does it offer that makes it worth visiting? The Statue of Liberty Being one of the most iconic statues in the entire world, this is one of the main reasons why tourists love coming to New York. It’s a symbol of freedom and democracy, the core values of the modern world. Not many people know this, but the statue was actually a gift from France. In the year of 1924, it became a national monument. But enough of the history lesson – if you want to take a look at it from up close (and from the inside), you can do so by taking a tour that involves a boat ride. 2. Yankee Stadium This is where the history of baseball was written. If famous big names like Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, and Mickey Mantle ring a bell, Yankee Stadium should not be left out of the equation. In fact, you’ll not only be able to take a look at famous […]

8 Hawaiian Vacation Properties Owned by Celebrities

Destinations

Few of us are fortunate enough to own a vacation property, let alone one in Hawaii. There are, however, quite a few celebrities who have chosen to invest in these areas, and with good reason — there’s no limit to the number of events, attractions, adventures, restaurants, and more available to visitors! Here are just a few of the amazing parts of the Hawaiian Islands that you could find yourself: Kailua Bay Beach While many celebrities might call their Hawaiian retreats “home,” there’s one famous person who can truly make that claim. 44th President of the United States Barack Obama and his family spent the winter between 2008 and 2011 vacationing at a private estate in Kailua Bay. The estate is available for rent now (for a hefty price tag), but if you’d rather spend that money at Kailua Beach Park, no one would blame you. With its white sand beaches and a range of activities, from surfing to scuba diving, you’ll be able to enjoy the same ocean breezes as the former president. Makawao You might be surprised to find out that Willie Nelson’s a fan of the Hawaiian town of Makawao – so much so that he owns […]

My First Travel Experience In The Southern Part of Cebu

Asia/Budget Travel/Travel Stories

I always love exploring places that I’ve never visited yet. So as my sister, Aira.

Before I go to Manila for a business convention, my sister and I planned with her friends (Denise, JB, and Shiela) to go to Oslob, Cebu. One of my friends told me before that they had great experiences in traveling to this place. Since we’re on a limited budget, I only bring around P3,000 ($75) pocket money. It’ll include our gas contribution, barge fee, accommodation, food, pasalubong and other amenities.

After Valentine’s Day, we’re all set for the trip. At 2 AM in the morning, we took off from Bacolod City to Bais City. It’s a 3-hour road trip going to the Bais port. It only takes us an hour to reach the southern part of Cebu. After we successfully landed, our Love Month adventure begins.
