A fellow traveller

I just visited the website of Ivan Henares, http://www.ivanhenares.com/


I first encountered his name when Teejay, my teammate, mentioned Anawangin (which hopefully I can visit next next weekend), where his friends went. The power of Google search led Neens to Ivan's (naks...close :D) website, and I couldn't believe that he had been to almost every place that I wanted to go and more.

And the good thing about his website is that he mentions fees and fares which are very helpful, especially to those who want to travel but are on a tight budget.

Sites such as Ivan About Town, makes you appreciate the Philippines more, I've always been fond of travelling but unlike others who would like to go out of the country such as Hong Kong and Singapore for a vacation, I'd rather stay here and explore the whole Philippines before I go out.

I remember a friend of mine, telling a story about an American she met in a bar in Hong Kong, when the guy found out that she's Filipina, he began telling stories of how much fun he had while vacationing in Bohol and he was really raving about the beauty of the place, then my friend mentioned that she had never been to Bohol, and the guy asked "then what are you doing here"? How ironic isn’t it that other nationalities have explored the country you've been born into and yet you haven’t.

That's what I love about Ivan's website, a documentation of all those explored places; how I wish I can go to all the places he’d been to…..

Kudos to Ivan!
