RJdExplorer I love to wander and experience what the world offers. Follow me to be updated of my wanderings! Check my blog at http://rjdexplorer.com Thanks! iExperience.

Dora the Explorer, a Nickelodeon animated show with the main character embarks on a trip in every episode to find something or help somebody. This is where I got the concept of my blog which aims to document all my wanderings whether it is going to events, eating at buffets, staying in luxurious hotels, traveling solo etc. I go with the tagline “iWander. iKwento”, a way of discovering what the wor

ld offers, experiencing it with my bare senses and by the use of internet and my passion in writing, share these experiences to others. I started my food/travel/events blog last September 2012 after my Puerto Princesa City, Palawan trip. Witnessing the beauty of nature at your naked eyes is the best feeling ever. It encouraged me to write since I know not all people can afford to travel, so why not share these experiences online for others to see. Who is rjdexplorer?

Some places impress you with attractions. Boac impressed me with its pace.

I spent most of my time walking between the plaza, cathedral, and ancestral streets. Nothing felt rushed. Everything felt connected.

If you’re visiting Marinduque soon, add Boac to your itinerary.

Not just a viewpoint.

Luzon Datum is one of the most historically significant landmarks in the Philippines, serving as the country's primary geodetic reference point for decades.

Add in the cool breeze and sweeping views of Marinduque, and it's easily one of the province's most rewarding side trips.

🌋 Finally caught Mayon Volcano on a clear morning.

After years of cloudy encounters, Mayon decided to show off its near-perfect cone. Worth every kilometer traveled.

We arrived at Agguimangan Agro Eco Tourism Farm in Pudtol, Apayao already tired and surrounded by darkness after a whole day of exploring caves, rivers, and rock formations.

Didn’t get to fully explore the eco-farm, but the food experience alone made the stop unforgettable.

From bamboo-cooked Sinursuran to smoky Sinapan and crispy Pinalatan, Apayao cuisine surprised me with flavors that felt completely different from what I grew up eating in Ilocos.

Sometimes, the best way to discover a place is through its food. 🌾🍲

16 days. My longest trip so far in the Philippines. I traveled for 100 days around Southeast Asia in 2017, but this is the longest trip I’ve ever done within the Philippines: Leyte > Samar > Eastern Samar > Southern Leyte > Surigao del Norte > Agusan del Sur > Agusan del Norte > Dinagat Islands.

Ang ganda mo, Pilipinas. Ipaglalaban ka pa rin kahit mahirap.
