The story of our very own resort.
Laden with my new round of construction shopping, we cram ourselves into a single tricycle and make our way to the pier.

As usual, my impulsive optimism quickly fades. On my return from a one month shopping trip to Manila, not only did I discover an increasing number of seemingly unimportant things missing from my belongings, such as my sowing kit (invaluable for fixing tents ripped from the wind, or shorts with rips in sensitive places), some … Read more
Things progressing nicely in the camp. Got a bit shakey as a few times got tired of all these little children (volunteers) passing through, doing minimal work, breaking things, negligent. Seems that people these days have been turning into zombies, can barely walk across the street without getting run over with their faces in facebook … Read more

We are building jungle trails on all of them, excellent snorkeling to explore and you can even give fishing a try. Bolina island, top left in the picture below, is apparently good for bird watching.

Below is an old autoresponse for applying volunteers, to give you an idea. Here is a video submitted by one volunteer: And here’s a … Read more
Back in Palawan when I was researching things to do in Manila for my website, I came across one blogger who wrote about visiting the slums. Horrid pictures of children wading up to their lips in black muck scrounging the city’s garbage in exchange for a bite to eat that day. Thought it could make … Read more
This page was originally written for a camp I used to run, but it can apply if you’d like to camp on a deserted island or tent on a beach as part of our island hopping boat tours between El Nido and Coron. If you would like to camp with your loved one or family … Read more
