out to the light
and bared our  s  k  e  l  e  t  o  n  s  to the world

No matter where we go, whether it is a short or long road adventure, be it a business trip to Dubai holidays in the Caribbean or backpacking in South East Asia, packing is the single most essential thing that could either make or break our escape. And sometimes, we still go back to the one who knows best and sometimes acts as if she knows everything, but nonetheless we listen to—our Moms.
Here are twelve of the respected seasoned (*cough*hottest) Filipino male travel bloggers and facts that correlates two of the things that have been …

Getting ready for a big trip requires a lot of blog reading, travel guides hunting and asking people who have been to the place.
Philippine passport holder can enjoy three months in Morocco without resorting to impersonating a desert gypsy or worse, a camel, to elude the immigration authority who will track you down the slopes of the desert.
It has been in our bucket list to fly to Marrakech for the longest time but the biggest roadblock for budget travelers like us is the airfare. Unless there’s a really dirt cheap flights …

Regular Flip’n Travels readers will know we ain’t no strangers to long haul flights – and all the cramps, jet lag, bad airplane movies and dehydration that entails. But along the way, from our own experience and from friends, family and fellow backpackers we’ve picked up some really useful tips for making long haul flights more bearable. They might not get rid of the dreaded jet lag altogether but they’ve definitely helped lessen the effects and helped us feel more human when we step off that plane 14 long hours …

Flying in style is something that we always admire. We have seen chic travelers in transit whose couture efforts gain attention when they sashay in these busy public ports: Bulgari coat complete with a full Louis Vuitton luggage ensemble is just one of the classic scenes we have seen in the past. Recently I saw a guy in his late 50′s who’s rockin’ the airport hall with a simple yet classic denim, plain white tees, a pair of Bally boots and a Balenciaga tote–your uncle really is owning it!

We are beach creatures. We prefer bumming on a sandy shore than climbing a mountain, rappelling down a cliff, storming down the river on a raft or playing rape-the-pond-fairies in god knows what other body of fresh water there is. We crave for the sticky feel of the evaporating salt on our skins and the attenuating sound of waves crashing the shore. We lie down the hammock under the shades of coconut trees and forget about time for a change…
then “PooF!”
Someone softly but rudely interrupts your heavenly time in paradise to sell …

Imagine staring blank at the horizon as the huge ball of fire dipping slowly into the ocean, then you pop a bottle to signal the start of a long night of fun.
Is there a better way to spend the nights of your beach escapade than to party it away? However, most if not all first timers underestimate the power of sand and booze and end up waking up the next morning wasted, busted, harassed and in a lot of documented cases–lost somewhere along the shore.
So here are some quick beach …

The beauty of Delhi stretches across the extreme ends of all imaginable continua; peace-chaos, eccentric-conventional, aromatic-stinky and the list goes on. It could be the reason why it is a real challenge for experts to put together a definitive guide to this colorful city.
The City’s reputation among outsiders are somewhat unanimous and they see this place as filthy yet an authentic exotic destination. India is a huge subcontinent but this capital city is pretty difficult to ignore. Most Flights to Delhi are coming from the biggest international hubs and that is why the …

Are we ready for a winter adventure?
It is almost mid autumn and travel expo’s all over the world have been very busy with their stints in the last couple of weekends. I even noticed that a lot of patients are walking in non stop and asking me for pre trip immunizations and flu shots are selling like pancakes that horrible longchamp tote on end of season sale.
They are all flying soon to Paris, Tokyo, London, New York and even Reykjavik, and I can only cringe of jealousy. But I don’t …

When we travel, most often than not, there will be days that we prefer staying in the hostel lazily rocking our knees and watch the time pass by…
Do I hear signs of aging? EF YOU!
I guess, with the speed rate of our lives as urban slaves, we are starting to appreciate the simple luxuries and the art of doing nothing. And the place you stay or the bed you sleep-in plays a big role of making this senile activity a success!

Recently, we came across Roomorama, an accommodation portal where you …
