Philippines and Thailand were two of the highlights of my travels. Both countries had their own unique benefits and things to enjoy. In Bangkok I ventured to the Pakkred Babies Home Orphanage, a place desperately in need of funding and assistance of all kinds. A life changing experience, it truly illustrates the differences between the East and West when it comes to the most disadvantaged people and the situations they are forced to live in and make it through. Bathing elephants and tasting the abundance of cuisine Thailand has to offer was also high on the lists.
Swimming with whale sharks, Kawasan Falls jungle trek, and staying on NoaNoa Island were also standout adventures for me in the Philippines. And of course, who could forget the filipino smile everywhere you go!
So take a look round, and hopefully you can pick up some travel tips and get a brief glimpse into what South East Asia has to offer.
