From Lola Sayong Eco Surf Camp to Mount Batulao and More: Snapshots of My 2017 Escapades

Because 2017 is about to end, I'd like to showcase some of my favorite photos, in no particular order, taken from my 2017 escapades:

The first "beach" that visited for 2017 is Lola Sayong Eco-Surf Camp in Gubat, Sorsogon. Dubbed as the "Surfing Capital of the South," this place is perfect for surfing and camping. It is a place where "you will leave as a surfer, with a new born soul, new friends and a beautiful place in mind where you are always welcome to return."

I miss you and the beach. #ATM #WanderingPinoy #iLovePh #ItsAWanderFullPhilippines www.arisonlinenow.com <3

In this photo taken at the Legazpi Airport, the majestic volcano is hiding. If my memory serves me right, there's low pressure when I arrived in Legazpi and I was lucky enough that Cebu Pacific didn't cancel our flight.

So far, other than Mount Pulag, Mount Batulao is one of my favorite mountains because of it's relatively "colder air" compared to other mountains. I didn't like, though, the "collections" or "toll fees" when climbing this mountain. Uhmm...I think there were four or five? I can't recall. Haha!

Sunset at Mount Batulao is definitely unforgettable for me. Look at the photo below and you'll be amazed. Truly, God's creation is amazing!

Posing in front of one of the remaining Spanish-styled houses in Indang, Cavite. My office mates and I decided to drop by here before visiting Tagaytay
