Paradise

El Nido Palawan

Nestled in one of the islands of the Philippines, El Nido Palawan boast mother nature's best creation. 

A plane ride from either Manila or Cebu, this pocket of nature's splendor is about 238 kilometres (148 mi) northeast of Puerto Princesa, Palawan’s capital. One would need to hire a van in advance from the airport to reach this place.

A word of caution to those who suffer from motion sickness is to make sure to drink meclizine (Bonamine) or you'll end up like me having side stops to deposit some fertilizers a.k.a your morning breakfast. 

But the trip which is roughly 6 hours is all worth it, especially when you arrive and witness a breathtaking sunset that you wouldn't be able to see anywhere else.

El Nido is spectacular in itself, but what made this trip special was when I shared a memory with a friend. I went here with one of the closest people in my life who have been with me through my ups and downs; and who knows me inside out. This is one of those moments that will be forever embedded in my heart. Friends come and go but when you have those people who never let go and you know will be with you through hell and back, that ends a friendship and starts a family. A sister from another mother and a loyal partner in crime that you will only get to have once in your lifetime.

Treasure your friends...

         Treasure your family....
