These are my favorite travel highlights:

3. swiming with sardines in Cebu, Philippines 
4. camping on the Great Wall of China
5. exploring Chichen Itza privately at dawn, before it opens to the public 
6. staying with nomads in the steppes of Mongolia
7. circumnavigating the globe in 1 month and 9 days
8. experiencing Machu Picchu 
7. spending 5 days in North Korea 
10. meditating at Jesus' tomb (The Garden Tomb)
11. exploring Angkor Wat 
12. slowly walking towards Taj Mahal and being starstruck by its beauty and fame

  6. Hello Regin!

    I have really enjoyed reading through your travel blog. You have some real quality stuff here and some very interesting and informative posts (I mean who from Europe or America really knew that Basketball is so popular in the Philippines? - not me:D). I do hope you will carry on posting as this is a really enjoyable read.

    Anyway, I am looking for passionate writers to join our community of bloggers and I was wondering whether you would consider sharing your posts on Glipho and become a member?

    It might be a good idea to give your writing and your blog more exposure while having fun and meeting fellow writers.

    Please check us out at glipho.com and give me a shout at hubert@glipho.com for any questions.

    Best!
    Hubert
