October 25, 2025 by Jessie InnisLeave a Comment

There are places in the world that demand nothing of you but your presence. No sightseeing checklists. No need to rush. Just space to slow down, breathe deeply, and let life roll by at the pace of a coconut drifting on the tide. Ekas, a tiny surf village tucked away on the east coast of Lombok, Indonesia, is one of those rare places. I stumbled into Ekas after a week in the chaos of Kuta’s surf scene, craving quiet. What I found was a village … [Read more...]

Kalinga: Reflections of an Ancient Way of Life

October 20, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning mist clung to the steep rice terraces as our jeepney wound its way through the mountain roads of Kalinga province. We had departed Tabuk City, the provincial capital, before dawn, aiming to reach the remote village of Buscalan by midday. The journey was as much a destination as the village itself—every hairpin turn revealed breathtaking vistas of emerald terraces carved into mountainsides, a testament to the agricultural ingenuity … [Read more...]

What Makes Heritage Tourism in Uganda Unique

October 10, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

Abra: The Hidden Charms of Highland Culture

October 10, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning air carried the scent of pine as our jeepney navigated the winding roads of Cordillera. My destination, Abra Province, remained largely unknown to international travelers—a hidden gem in Northern Luzon, Philippines. As we climbed higher into the mountains, leaving behind the tourist-filled streets of Baguio City, I found myself wondering what secrets this remote province might hold. Abra sits nestled between mountains and rivers, … [Read more...]

Ifugao: Terraced Legacy

September 20, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning mist clung to the mountains as our car wound its way up the narrow road from Banaue town. I pressed my face against the window, eager for my first glimpse of what UNESCO had declared a World Heritage site, what locals had farmed for over 2,000 years, and what many call the "Eighth Wonder of the World"—the Ifugao rice terraces. The province of Ifugao sits in the Cordillera mountain range of Northern Luzon in the Philippines, a … [Read more...]
