CAPERNAUM, ISRAEL: A Comprehensive Travel Guide
I’ll be honest with you before we go any further: Capernaum is small. You could speed-walk the entire archaeological site in fifteen minutes flat. But Capernaum isn’t a place you rush — it’s a place you sit down in. This little fishing village on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee was, according to the Gospels, the actual home base of Jesus’s ministry, the place he lived after leaving Nazareth, the place where he called his first disciples off their fishing boats, and the place where some of the best-known miracles in the New Testament are set.

BIRI ISLAND, NORTHERN SAMAR: A Comprehensive Travel Guide
Biri Island is located in Northern Samar, and known for it’s six majestic rock formations that were carefully sculpted by Mother Nature over centuries. It is also unique as it doesn’t have the same fine white-sand beaches like many famous places in the country. There is something beautiful about its rawness and remoteness – the jagged, scraggy rocks jutting out of the cliffs, and rock pools so blue with the clear sky as its background. The journey to this island is a rewarding one for the adventure-seekers.

Have you conquered Cardiac Hill in SIlang, Cavite? Cliff and I were thrilled to be invited to the Friendship Power Kembot, an exciting running event hosted by the Fabulous Running Divas to bring the running community closer together.

The route was a wild mix of rough roads, pavement, and trails, constantly challenging us with rolling uphill and downhill stretches. And the real test? Tackling the legendary Cardiac Hill—a climb that lives up to its name! This scenic yet grueling 21-kilometer trail started…

I’ve been to Cebu multiple times, but it has never piqued my interest. The only reason I did this was to see/experience firsthand how the whale shark watching activity in Oslob is run.
