Secret Location (caramoan peninsula shhhh) Some of the guys in the group know a Filipino guy living in Singapore and he recommended a nearby beach/island getaway. It might be a popular destination for some Filipinos but our travel guide barely mentioned it and we couldn't find much on the internet. So we've decided to keep it anonymous in our internet posting. If anyone reading this is a traveler,... Read Full Entry

In the Spring of 2009 I will be studying abroad at the National University of Singapore. I will be there from early January until mid May. I hope to stay in touch with my friends and family and keep them updated on my latest adventures. I've also found out how helpful reading blogs can be for making travel plans so I'll try to put in some details from the trip. If anyone needs more info, just sent me a message and I'll be glad to help. ... full info

Great idea
Keeping the location unknown...but I think I know where this is. Starts with a C, yeah? Definitely be back, there are 7000 more islands to discover!

I think you've got it
And I'll be back to without a doubt. We only experienced a small part of the country for 11 days and it was amazing. Can't wait to see what else is hiding out there.

" Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness "

i understand why you want to keep it as a secret
... my best guess is somewhere in the Bicol Region and we're going there next month! well ... actually, if you can tell me where this is ... that would be great. nice photos!

Awesome blog
You guys should've swam with Whale sharks which is one of the attractions in Donsol also in the Bicol Region. The Northern part of the Philippines is also where one of the scenes from Tom Cruise's film "Born on the Fourth of July " was shot. You can also visit the Hundred Islands in Pangasinan, La Union which is also quite accessible and if you want an Ireland like terrain visit the Batanes islands which you will hardly see in Guidebooks like the Lonely Planet.

great beaches
great blog! glad u enjoyed ur stay in the Philippines. For your next visit, u might want to try Coron, Palawan. Another wonderful island with pristine beaches. Or Anawangin, Zambales. But here, u must be prepared to sleep in a tent. No cottages nearby. Like Caramoan, it is a secret island. Goodluck on your future adventures! :)
