We’re lucky because we don’t have to travel far to get a taste of paradise. I love the beaches of Siargao in particular—it’s just so different from everything else we have. Not only is the water so clear and the sand so pristine, but the vibe of the whole place just made it for me. I’ve gone there twice before even before the influx of tourists and back then, the place was such a hidden gem that I felt like I was a tourist in my own country. I could literally count with my hands how many Filipino tourists were in the island. I’ve tried both upscale and low-end resorts there and for me, my personal favorite would be Isla Cabana. The service, the rooms, and the feeling of seclusion right in the heart of General Luna are the three reasons why I recommend the hotel. The food’s great, too! You can even have authentic Italian cuisine at Kermit, a surf resort and restaurant which some claim to have the best Italian food in the country.

What makes every trip to Siargao memorable though is the motorbike Ben and I rent to get around the island! I love Siargao so much that one of my life goals is to buy a piece of land there and build my dream beach house. Aside from the tips I got to share about that trip, I also got to tell my personal story on how I started and how perseverance and self-belief will always get you somewhere.

What made this talk different from others though is that it was recorded to become modules later on that people could download and watch over and over again! What a treat right?
