When I first thought of this project last year, I was kinda hesitant to pursue it mainly because it would be expensive and it is going to be an exhausting journey. Then, I thought about collaborating with hotel and resort owners as well as regional, provincial, city and municipal tourism offices and see if they can help me out one way or another.
I started contacting them and luckily, a number of them have responded positively about the project. When I started receiving emails from companies and tourism officers, I felt really happy and excited. It’s a confirmation that my advocacy to promote local tourism to the rest of the Filipinos and the world is doable.
I spent weeks just to lay out the itinerary. There are a lot of considerations to be made like bus and ferry schedules, travel time and etc. Last night, I have finally came up of a schedule where I am heading to in this epic 50-day journey.
Please contact me should you be interested to meet up with me in any of the destinations listed below. If you are a company and would like to help me out in this advocacy, please contact me by email at info(@)escapemanila.com.
Thank you for the Support

Why is Cebu not part of the list? If you'll happen to change your itinerary I might tour you around. Good luck on this one sir!! looking forward for your next adventures.
Good Luck on 50 days of backpacking. I'm sure you'd really enjoy the experience.
I admire how you planned this entire thing out. I would like to be able to do this as well if time and money permit haha
great plan and advocay conquering backpackingi n philippines! keep safe! its gonna be hard if typhoons will or other so pray! and goodlck! xx
I really wanted to go there but it's kinda out of way. It's going be really more expensive if I drop by Cebu or Bohol.
Hmmm, that's why I am going to do it in summer. Chances of strong rains/typhoon is rare.
Goodluck to you and hope to hear more about your activities when you get there. You're such an envy for having the luxury to travel. Keep safe.
If I were in my 20's< I'd go. hahaha, but now the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Have fun, staay safe and when you are in Bacolod, give the negrense bloggers a knock, we can bring you around 🙂
Wow, I really envy you on this project, I would love to come with you but right now I'm having problems with the budget. Good luck and God bless on your journey.
