The Philippines have become my favorite country in the world, simply because the locals here are so friendly and joyful and somehow all of them are extremely good singers. But that’s not all that makes the Philippines such a great place. There are countless beautiful islands and beaches where you would think you have arrived in paradise. I stayed in El Nido, Palawan for 11 days and have explored some really paradise-like beaches around El Nido town during that time.…
When I planned my trip to El Nido I actually already thought about going diving there since I heard it is one of the most beautiful dive sites in Southeast Asia.
